The 3D printing process requires a supporting frame during the printing, see below left. The
printed part is cut from the frame using flush cutters and this sometimes leaves small bumps on the
part. Use a knife with a sharp new blade to cut away the bumps. When trimming bumps off the
wheels you should place the wheel on a flat surface as shown below on the right. Putting too much
stress on the wheel can cause the axle to break. For bumps on the cab body, sanding is
recommended.
After cleaning up the bumps, paint the entire cab-cargo bay flat olive and the chassis flat
black. Once these have dried paint the wheel hubs, fuel tank and front bumper olive using a fine
brush. Apply a coat of gloss to the top of the hood on the cab where the decal is placed, let dry and
then place the decal. After the decal is completely dry, apply dullcoat.
When everything is dry, glue the cab-cargo bay onto the underframe using CA glue. See
photo below for cab alignment.
