Description
Summary
I am very thankful to Mr Benoît Lussier for his feedbacks which has helped me refine the model further.
There are three ways to print this.
As single piece:- Please download STL file but there wont be any movements.
Multiple Pieces :- Download 3mf file with Full_dismantled.3mf. BEST QUALITY OUTPUT. Please use the 3mf file for assembly also.
Combined:- You may use any 3D viewer software like 3D builder in windows to merge components according to your printer and filaments. The sky is the limit for this.
Upgraded Cylinders & Pistons
I have upgraded the cylinders and pistons to allow locking of the front loader arm and buckets at different position by using a small piece of 1.75mm filament. Please see the GIF image for details. This locking can only be done for static displays. I haven't upgraded the original model 3mf file or the print profile, instead I had added seperate 3mf files and profile for the upgraded parts. This has been intentionally done to get feedbacks from the makers before making the upgrades permanent. It also gives the user freedom to choose how to make. This also help those who have already made the model to make upgrades. Those interested in upgrades can look for the profile with the name “upgraded cylinders and pistons” or 3mf file.
ASSEMBLY OF MAIN BODY
ASSEMBLY OF FRONT LOADER
MATING OF MAIN BODY AND FRONT LOADER
Movements Included
Front Section Rotation
All Wheel Rotation
Front Loader Full Movement
Engine Bay Doors
The main body is made hollow to ensure filament savings.
The screws are need to fix the front and back axles which are also marked.
The front loader assembly is made up of pins of same size but there could be tolerances issues when you print. So I insist that you first test print a pin and try the fit and accordingly scale down or up the pin.
Supports should be provided as required.
Appreciate the makes uploads.Open for suggestions.

The Model looks Great. Only have Problems with the Pins after many attempts I decide to use screws.
On the left side I missed a inner wall to connect the lower hydraulic Zylinder.
I use many glue to complete.
Model really looks awesome. To get the correct tolerance for pins is tricky but I think the screws only made the model better. If it makes any sence I have put zero tolerance in the pins to make the joint a friction lock to position the loader arms😇. I haven't seen the issue with the missing wall till now but I will certainly investigate wwhat has happened and update. But it looks cool. Thanks for the upload and feedback.
that profile is good with supports, I printed all in A1 on first attempt, only my black petg didn't finished, looks that nozzle was clogged on 90%, but wheels are usable at 90 percent too, some holes are very small, but overall looks good...
Great design. As soon as my son saw this, I had to print it. I took the liberty of adding print profile with supports. All I have to do now is assemble the model :) I replaced the pins with m4 screws.
Thanks for the print profiles man🤩🤩. I am sure it will be useful for many. BTW the prints looks awesome. I hope the front loader movements are working. Wish that you will uploads photos of fully assembled model also. Appreciate the effort man🙂
hi, I have another project titled Yellow Zil Truck Chassis. If you haven't seen that, plz check it out. Its is a very versatile truck platform in which we can add various payloads for different civil and military roles. I already had made a fire truck, missile transport and pipe transport payloads. A snow cat payload could be possible with that. If that doesn't work out as intended, I will certainly design a fresh model. I hope you can wait for that. Its as always free but could take some time.
If you create something similar to Everest snowcat - it will be very cool! I'm making a diorama of a ski resort with cable cars, and for maximum beauty, I need snow equipment. I will look forward to your next creations.
P.S. If you need snowcat measurements or additional photos, I can take them.
I believe I can certainly try this but a quick search led me to this website which sells good quality minatures of this https://actionfarmtoys.com/products/02545-1-16-prinoth-snow-groomer-leitwolf . Have you seen them?
I dont know how much justice I can do with this model because I haven't seen this machine ever. Only hopeful thing is that I have experience making models with research alone and without seeing.
What is the rough size (in millimeters) of the model you want to make?
Such issues can be from filament setting, mostly bcos of adhession issues or so. Please check if your brim setting is auto or you can even change it to mouse ears. Anyways keep me posted. Curious why this happened
