: 3D Instructions for LEGO Technic 42177 Mercedes G-Wagon (Official Build)

[Star39]

Hi everyone,

 

I’m building the 42177 Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x4 and I’m looking for a working 3D step-by-step file of the official stock build (not a MOC or RC mod).

 

Ideally in BrickLink Studio (.io) or LDraw (.ldr/.mpd) format so I can rotate, zoom, and follow along in 3D.

 

I know PDFs are available on LEGO.com, but I’d really like a full 3D interactive guide that matches the original instructions.

 

I am willing to pay for a clean, accurate version. If anyone has this privately or can generate it, please DM me with details.

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

– Eileen

Lego has an app for this - it's called the Lego Builder - 3D building instructions. It is available on App store, probably also for Android. You can just scan the QR code of the instructions booklet to find a set / probably also by set number. I'm not sure thoughif you can freely rotate or if it just gives you a 3d view from fixed angles..

Not all Technic sets have 3D instructions in the app, 42177 is one of them. I'm not sure why, but some larger builds only have PDF instructions, while others also get the 3D version. This is valid since 2023, before that only a few smaller sets got the 3D treatment.

Hmm, why am I not surprised by this inconsistency.. this option would be more useful exactly for the larger builds..
