Ottawa Fire Rescue 53

Post by Rivet Counter » Sat Nov 07, 2020 1:12 am

Here's one of the fire trucks I've built for work, it's based on a heavily customized Boley unit. The chassis is 3d Printed, the cab has been recast in resin and I filled and rescribed new lockers onto the body. The decals were designed by the graphic designer in my department and printed on my ALPS printer. It has built-in IR based collision avoidance and computer control for autonomous running. Lighting includes marker lights, head and taillights, brake lights, turn signals, emergency lights, and individually controlled scene lights. For good measure, I equipped it with a siren as well. Run time ranges from 18 hours to 5 hours depending on vehicle speed, lighting, and siren settings.

That's so cool. Very awesome and something you don't see every day. I'd love to see more of what you build. The video was neat.

Thanks for sharing.
