Description
I was working on another Peterbilt chassis that hadn't printed well and i accidentally broke the bumper off while removing supports. Then I realized I could print a better bumper and glue it on. I designed this guy pretty quickly and then removed the OG bumper from the chassis model and supplied both of those here.
The bumper is simply to be glued on in post processing, and otherwise it should be a fairly straightforward model.
I uploaded two models for the bumper, and I've only printed one. The first design, MooseBumperUpright, was designed before I realized that I wanted to print the model laying on its face for better structural integrity. Unfortunately, while I like the way it looks, the bottom of the bumper juts out and gets in the way of that. The second bumper still looks good, but is able to print laying down.

Happy printing, please post makes and remakes, and as always feel free to ask questions!
