GI Joe Mauler MBT

thingiverse

The Mauler MBT from the class of 1985. The file was created full scale from the actual toy and is optimized for printing at 25%. Unless you stay in that range your print may have too much or too little detail. My finished model weighs 25 grams so it cost me about 53 cents for the material to print it. This file is free to download but please note that it is listed as ***non-commercial*** because this is a copy of intellectual property I do not own. As such neither you nor I are allowed to sell physical copies of this 3-D model. You are allowed (and encouraged) to print copies for your own personal use. Print the tracks with the "hubcaps" up using support. The chassis and turret right-side up with support. The gun should be printed horizontal for more strength. Side armor does not need support. Fun tip: You can glue it together such that the center suspension "works". Glue the tracks to the chassis at just the front and rear sprocket. Also glue the armor plates on to just the chassis. Thanks to Chris for loaning me his original, saving me a lot of time and resulting in a more accurate model. Much respect and gratitude to past and present members of our Armed Forces, you are the “Real American Heroes”. Your sacrifice allows people like me to live in peace, freedom and make silly little toys like these.
