Last year I designed mobile and static versions of a 5 Ton Hand Crane mainly to try out animation to see if I could make the gears work on a design. I hadn’t really thought too much about having it printed but a friend offered to print it for me if I created STL files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He printed them recently and yesterday I made a start on assembling the Mobile Crane.This is where I got to having decided to prime when I got this far while I decided on how to depict the the jib. By that I mean raised as if to lift something or lowered as in travelling.. After some thought I realised that the 3D printed clevises wouldn’t support the stays without the slightest movement snapping them off so fully assembled it shall be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
