This is an excavator that I designed. There are holes for all the joints in the arms and buckets. I haven't uploaded rods to fill those holes as I haven't designed it yet, but the pieces should fit together.

For printing purposes, I am printing the Cab, Engine, and Decals as one dual color print. I am also printing the track pieces and belts as one dual color print. You should be able to merge these pieces together for printing.

Although the arm and bucket pieces should be moveable, the track is not made of moveable pieces. Maybe if I get some time I can remodel the track for this purpose.

Notes:

Merge the following files for a single or dual color print:
-All Decal files (Black)
-Cab (Black)
-Engine (Yellow)

Merge the following files for a single or dual-color print of Track:
-Track_Arm_Body (Black)
-Track_Arm_1 (Yellow)
-Track_Arm_2 (Yellow)
-Track_Left (Black)
-Track_Right (Black)

Track_Arms is a single file that can be used for a single color print of the track design. Will still need to add Track_Left and Track_Right

I am printing Decals 6-8 as a separate file to preserve the CAT logo (White in color)

L/R Bucket and L/R Arm are small brackets that connect Bucket, Lower_Arm and a Piston.

You'll need 3 of the longer Pistons and 1 of the Bucket Pistons.
