RC4WD Bucket for use with quick connect 1/14 Wheel loader

Last crawled date: 4 years, 4 months ago

A bucket to work with my quick connect adapter found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3956963
It has a larger capacity than the stock bucket. It has tubes in the design to allow for 6mm metal rod to be inserted in two places and 2mm rod near the blade.
I would print the bucket in PETG and the brackets in Nylon if possible. That should allow the strength needed for proper digging. The bucket is almost a full kg of filament so plan on using a whole spool. It takes me about 38 hours to print on my Prusa mk3.
The back of the bucket where it curves up likes to warp off the bed so do the usual things to get it to stick (sloooowww first layer, some sort of adhesive, etc).
There are screw holes to hold the brackets to the bucket but the strength is from the 6mm rod that feeds through the bucket and the brackets.
