Very nice Rik, have you designed the entire wagon including base, axle carriers, wheels etc, or is it the top part to go on a ready made base?

The whole wagon - apart from the wheels. I've used plasticard for the floor of the wagon but a ready-planked rectangle could easilyhave been drawn.

Very nice, I am yet again impressed. With a load in the wagon it won't matter what is at the bottom and cutting a bit of plasticard is way faster and cheaper to do, great idea

Here are the parts straight off the printers - the light grey parts are off the Eryone Thinker SE and the dark grey parts are off the cheapo Anet A8 clone. I use brims on both printers to help with adhesion.

Yeah, they always look better from the drawings than the printed reality!
Nevertheless, the prints do look very good.

The floor and the inside sides are planked as well ...

I've added a file for the floor to the set of .STL files in the new 3D download section so anyone wanting to print the wagon has the option of printing it or using a piece of plasticard.

Hi Rik,
My memory has lapsed again. Did you do a thread on how you did your wagon sides in TinkerCad. I seem to remember someone doing it. It showed how to copy and paste, plus round off ends and put hinges on too. I can't seem to find it now.
I thought I had bookmarked it

I'll start a new thread devoted to TinkerCAD tips. I'm sure plenty of others will find nifty ways of doing things they can share.
EDIT Now done ......
