Caterpillar 420d Backhoe Digger

This highly Detailed version of a Caterpillar 420D Backhoe Digger is perfect for your detailed tabletop and modelling projects. 

Backhoe loader, also called a backhoe excavator or in some countries a loader backhoe, and commonly shortened to just backhoe, is an engineering vehicle, which consists of a tractor, fitted with a shovel/bucket on the front and a small backhoe on the back. Due to its (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common in urban engineering and small construction projects (such as building a small house, fixing city roads etc).

Designed by 3D Fortress the model has been prepared and distributed under license by Digital Taxidermy

This STL file set is printable on Resin 3D printers, such as the Elegoo Mars. Print the model will 3D print with a 0.02 to 0.05mm layer height for best results.
An FDM 3D printer (like the Creality Ender 3) can be used but you may compromise the detail and result.

Supports are required for this STL model.
