Tracked Tank with movable turret

thingiverse

Messed up and missed the tank body with the holes. It is up there now. I have also added one that is hollow. It has 3mm walls and printed a bit faster with my printrbot. Added a new turret - newturrett3a. It is a much smoother creation. Both work though, take your pick. The PB could not handle the top though, so if I were to print it again I would add some supports. My favorite frugal trick is just to add a few 2mm cylinders and then bust them off after printing. The hollow version has a hole at the bottom for easy busting, or you could use it as a trojan tank... err horse. =) Love the tank by Shimongraff, but wanted to print the axles separate from the tank. Not a fan of supports and if 1 fails the entire project is toast. I added sockets for the axles so they can be printed as needed. The tracks are not as tight as I would like, but I am letting them be for now. My other tweak was that I wanted a turret that could elevate. I played with the connectors in TinkerCD to create one. It is not the most efficient design, but I had a ton of fun working through the process, Lots of room for improvement, so have at it if you are interested. Importing stl files into TinkerCAD is amazingly simple. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHQxMGwDw3T/?taken-by=hlmodtech
