Slow going the last couple days, but we're in the home stretch. Tryna straighten out some misalignment issues with the box before everything gets mounted on the chassis. Then details and decals :)

Added lots of custom wires and stuff under the hood cuz it was looking pretty empty in there, wear & tear to the plow, taillights and rear bumper installed

All done! Really really pleased with how this turned out, especially given the poor quality of the kit itself. Added hoses and chains to the plow unit. will be happy to know we're gonna 3D-print a little 5-gallon salt bucket for the back. :) (More pics in next couple tweets)

Sweet! Is that orange filament or did you paint it? And is the handle wire + something?

Painted orange. The handle is insulated telephone wire with a short piece of insulation from a speaker wire. :)

What kind of paint works well with PLA? I just bought some transparent PETG too, to try, and might try ABS after that.

I didn't even give it a second thought, it's just a can of Rust-oleum spray paint. Seems to have adhered just fine. Gave it three light coats.
