Volvo C304 / TGB 1314 (1:30 Scale)
Updated
- Rear body now has detail for split glass in the door window
- Wheel rims added that accept the LEGO tyre*
- Chassis (V2) added with rear suspension*

* Chassis V1 only works with Wheels V1 & Chassis V2 only works with Wheels V2 as
on V2 the axles are wider and the portal hub sits partly within the wheel rim. I have
printed the chassis in PETG, PLA may not be strong enough for the suspension.
Drawn in Fusion 360, Measurements taken from my own truck
The cab and rear body are detailed correctly but the chassis and axles are partly made up to accept the wheels.
Chassis is designed to take LEGO 30.4 x 14 wheels
Cab printed right way up with supports
Rear printed right way up with supports
Chassis printed upside down with supports - be careful removing supports around suspension as it is quite fragile.
I am still playing around with different materials at the moment so this model was printed with the cab in ASA, the rear body in carbon PLA and the chassis in PETG. I did have a few failures along the way, I printed the rear in ASA but had splitting problems (need a cabinet), I printed the chassis in ASA but found PETG to be better suited.
