O scale overhead crane I am working on.
I spent a lot of time trying to come up with the gearing .. until I decided that that can be imagined .. under the gearbox covers. I added various bolted pieces, stops etc. I uploaded a copy of the gearbox and truck successfully to Shapeways as a test of concept. I have printed the gears and sheave with Version I of the crane so that’s cool. The stops still need to be uploaded .. but overall I am pretty sure I can print this sucker.

One of the things that tend to make me crazier than usual is trying to track the various versions of my models. This Gantry Crane was developed as a modified Overhead Crane Ver III .. so .. we have Gantry Crane Ver IV.

I split the truck off from the crane proper leaving a length minus the wheels and bearings as a support on the upper portion. I then re-worked the truck to give me four wheels .. better support. The framing shown in white is a mix of Evergreen I-Beam and Channel.'
