Product Description
This 1:87 HO Scale Logging Grapple is designed to work off of multiple types of logging equipment, such as a skidder, loader, back of a bulldozer etc. The pins are delicate, and I've doubled the amount necessary, but would also suggest that one consider replacing them with either small brass wire or styrene rod. I've included a picture in this upload that shows the expanded view, and the completed view to aid in assembly. Once together, the unit will swivel, turn and rotate due to the design of the head unit. The tongs will also swing of course. The hydraulics are 'simulated' with rods that move on the tongs, but are not detailed inside the head unit itself. The design has passed all the checks in three different software programs I use, so I’m confident it will print without issues in the Frosted Ultra Detail material, which is what you’d want to order it in to ensure the details are as crisp as possible. Should you have any questions or issues, feel free to contact me via the Shapeways links, or direct via Email to modelmechanic@gmail.com
