Our 3D backhoe model is taking shape. Progressing past the initial block out stages, we're starting to finalize the hard-surface pieces of the machine. In part 3, I'd like to cover the creation of hydraulic lines and the advanced shrinkwrap technique for cutting construction lines on smooth shapes. Though given that I'm predicting this a month away, these topics are subject to change.
This complex model is a collaborative effort between instructor and Citizen members. The idea is to build this crazy thing together! If you're interested in contributing, please jump over to the Forum Thread to learn more!

Modeling all that had to be seriously fun, too
I think if you are aiming for 3d printing it would be nice to have that capacity in 1 program instead of using multiple programs

Wow Ingmar that is engineering quality

Who did this one again?
Agreed with Greg too.

I say B, because sometimes I will skip completely hidden data - I will not make a bolt HOLE if it will be filled with a bolt, for example
Agreed with SPikey
