I designed this attachment to scale based somewhat off of the hitachi 470 bucket with a few minor changes. I printed out the first bucket and found that it was perfect aside from the teeth size and the coupler size which are easy fixes. This was designed in 2013 SolidWorks.

Very cool how do your feel strength wise? Because mine are a bit flimsy but I think I can adjust it pretty easily. I am thinking about finalizing it in plastic then sending it off to shape ways and getting it printed in metal.

I design them to be strong so i like it. Only thing with shapways metal is it does not come smooth. It also has some shrinkage, i would resize 1 or 2 percent. I have been using shapways for a year now getting most stuff fone in high detail resin, in december my resin 3d printer will come in so i will be able to print onhouse
