LOL.

So, have I missed where you say how long that lower hull is?

Partially bonded & the first couple of parts for the main turret superstructure fresh off the printer.

For future sectional printing, would it help with the bonding if the sides were dove tailed?

[midlife306]

Dovetailing does make it better I guess because of the increased surface area being bonded but in my opinion it doesn’t really matter that much as the areas bonded are so big

Oh, ok. Just wondered about the strength of such a long structure with just butt joints.

If you ever do run into trouble with them, you could knock up some butterfly shapes, like a double ended dove tail, and cut out a corresponding shape in the two sections to be joined.

Touch wood it should be ok as it is, I’ll strengthen it if need be, it’s at 8kg at the moment

A bit more done but run out of filament again lol







It’s starting to become a bit of a whopper at 490mm tall without any suspension, wheels or tracks...

LOL, fantastic

Love that you have a figure there for size

You do know, the standard unit for size comparison is a banana

find a tiny one to fool everyone
