Bolo Tank

thingiverse

Here is the text with no extra comments of my own or similar expressions: I created this tank years ago in honor of the old chaotic multiplayer game Bolo. I just updated its design to make it easy to build with a 3D printer, simple assembly with clips, and functioning wheels and tracks, rotating turret, and adjustable gun. The base is 300mm wide at its widest point. I designed it to be scalable from anywhere between 100% to 50%, ensuring that every part can still be printed with reasonable clearances between the parts. If you're not confident that you'll be able to print this model, I recommend first trying a one-off test print of the tread pin, tread piece, and gun clip pieces to see how well they turn out. Everything else is larger so it should be no problem. I welcome all feedback and suggestions for improvements to the design. The Bill of Materials (BOM) comprises 116 pieces, as follows: Tank Main Body x 1 Turret x 1 Gun x 1 Gun Clip x 1 Tank Wheel x 8 Tread Piece x 52 Tread Pin x 52 Enjoy it.
