Hymac 880 Excavator - Painted Assembled Model 

This is a painted and assembled version of our 3D printed Hymac 880 excavator. 

This model has a rotating cab and posable arm joints. It comes fully painted. 

Please note, although this model is poseable, it is not intended as a toy and would not withstand vigorous play. It is designed for display purposes. 

Please note this model will be printed and painted to order so may take up to ten working days to be finished. 

Introduced in 1968, the Hymac 880 was one of the larger machines in the Hymac range, weighing in at around 22.3 tonnes. While not massive by modern standards, it was considered a serious machine in its day — widely used for:

Deep excavation work
Bulk earthmoving
Scrap and heavy material handling
The 880 quickly became known for its capability and rugged performance, sitting just below the rare 1080 and 1290 machines in the range.

In 1972, the upgraded 880C variant was introduced, featuring improvements including a Volvo engine and optional configurations such as face shovel setups.

For many operators, machines like the 880 represent a hands-on era of plant operation — where skill, timing, and a fair bit of effort were required to get the best out of the machine.
