Only a few of 4000 parts are done

The Printed Bucket fits without changes at the boom. Could get only a bit more angle

Yeah, the instruction for the full excavator will take some time

Who/where do you go to get your amazing custom parts printed, I wanted to order some, like that bucket but don't have a 3d printer

[efferman]

The place is called shapeways, but you have to know that this is a expensive place. https://www.shapeways.com/product/L4K4Z5TKS/backhoe-bucket-for-42100?optionId=129028622&li=user-profile

I guess the setting of stick and bucket was to much oriented on speed

That looks so good!! great comparison video too :) Well done!

[efferman]

Thank you very much

Now the Hard Part with the Tracks

I like the standard excavator arm a lot, but for me it was much better with the brick built bucket. The 3D printed one just sticks out way too much of the overall Technic picture.

Keep up with the great MOD, impressive work so far!

The brickbuilt bucket will be in the instruction.

So your instructions will be a complete build, changing the tracks, boom and bucket?

[efferman]

yes, from ground to the roof

Perfect, I will keep my kit together for a bit longer and wait for your 'B' model.

But I guess it won't be called a B model, since it has many new parts, so a modification(MOC) of 42100

I dare say that’s because the bucket’s white and not dark grey

Will there just be a parts list and instructions for the backhoe boom?, I have already ordered your bucket from shapeways so I can’t wait to do the new boom

The problem with the backhoe is that the Boom is much longer and with the standard motor setup it is much underpowered in lifting the boom.  So a instruction for only the boom makes not much Sense in my eyes. but when you can manage this by yourself.....

[Richombx]

Ok, I can’t see myself really wanting to dig and really do hard work with it enough to be rebuilding the whole machine . I’m just keen to have the backhoe setup as it’s what we have here

A note to people wanting to document their 42100 modifications: all the specific new parts are now available in LDraw format (linear clutch, long LA and bucket ). Of course Control+ motors and hub are available too.

is a Stud.io file enough for you?

@Philo, thank you very much

[Richombx]

I wouldn’t know sorry, I guess I just need to know what parts I need to order. I’ve seen what you have done for the mod face shovel boom and that is a fantastic set of instructions on rebrickable

[efferman]

hm, this would make two sets of instructions neccessary. Had thought to use the xl for the Bucket stick and two L for Raising the boom to avoid extra costs in buying electrics. Let me think about it.

[Richombx]

I guess I’m happy to wait for the complete instructions even though I’d only just use the backhoe section to start. Would you itemize the part needed per section your modifying so just what ever section you choose to use could be ordered?

[efferman]

good news, the L And the XL are fitting both without changes on the structure, so the instruction would work for both.

[Richombx]

I really think you’ve done a incredible job with modifying this kit so well and so quick.
