Summary

I am looking to create a functioning, scale model "Mi-Jack" translift / gantry crane. (reference images provided) Should be a combination of metal and 3d printed plastic parts, along with elements found in typical remote control vehicles. Preferred scale is 1/14, but could be a bit larger if necessary. It doesn't have to have ALL the functionality of a translift, but will need to be able to lift a (light weight) scale model container off the bed of a scale mode semi trailer (see Tamiya 40' container truck). Controls do not have to be rc - I'm ok with local (on board) controls. It should be stationary, not wheeled. Basically, picture a 3d printer with no bed; servos to move the head side to side; and box chain / pulley / winch system to lift or lower the container once attached. Obviously, I can't find anything like this on the market, so any potential distribution would be through equal partnership, but that is not the intention of this project. I anticipate this would be an exciting challenge for someone with applicable skillset. An interest in RC vehicles is probably a bonus. To the extent possible, I'm looking for an unassembled finished product. I may supply some of the parts or elements. And I would like to 3d print as many parts as practical myself.
