Currently I only had the time to construct a pivot for the carriage of Stugs.
However, the G-code for printing is also ready and maybe I can still make overnight.

There is now separated to Page Align the Stug the rocker and the pivot bearing can now be both, or just the rocker rebuild.

Excellent work. I am more than a little interested in how you will mount the barrel. I need something like this for my own StuG.

The hinge was this morning then printed.

Image

But to install it I had to prepare a few things. In the upper part disturbed nor the old fortifications and the box and the gunner's hatch had to get away.

Image

Image

Image

In order to mount the mount to the pivot, I have this but not glue it and attach the holes for the screws.
First, pre-drill the joint with a 2mm drill.

Image

Then put the gun mount it and this pierce to the hinge as a template it with the 2mm drill.

Image

Last drill out the mount from the top with a 3mm drill.

Image

So you can then glue the joint base to the hull top, put through the gun carriage from the front and befesigen with a screw. So you get a stable, smooth-joint to Page Aim ??the cannon.

Image

Image

Next, the canon rocker stuck in the inner part of the mount, with 2mm pre-drilling and screw.

Image

Image

Image

For installation of the rocker, I now had to cut a little bit. So the rocker but can be re-installed as described in the expansion.

Image

Image

I have already placed the servos to end for today.

Edwin, you are doing a remarkably excellent job, both at remodeling your StuG and making me feel inadequate. o7

And again it is coming to a piece, none of completion.

Today I installed the three servos and also still the same program the Align to Page on the transmitter. So you can align with a knob at the side the gun now.

Image


The Evolation and the RCC, I must still be programmed directly at Beier sound module, but before that I have the veritable camouflage headlight and the excess flash.
So I'm going to the Stug then can pass its owner in Derbach 23.

By the way I now also have the parts to Page Align optimized and started a few to print them for printing the canon and the rocker bearings somewhat.
