Re: Newbie from Tennessee
Welcome to the forum. There is a pretty strong group of us that 3D print stuff. I myself don't design, but I do print a lot. I will do some primitive 3D customizations in my Bambu slicer when I need to solve a problem.

Re: Newbie from Tennessee
Hello! The M1a2 Abrams and the Leopard 2A6 are well-represented here on RCTW, so you should be able to dig out lots of information. The number on RCTW who do 3D printing is staggering, so you will have lots of help. If you haven't already, check out:

Re: Newbie from Tennessee
Welcome from the southern tip of Illinois. I modified a Taigen Leopard 2A6 into a 2A7. Used a lot of DKLM parts for the transformation. I look forward to seeing what you build.

Hello and welcome from Argyll and Bute.
Who’s Megan Fox? The only proper Whisky comes from Scotland. One distillery for the whole of the county of Tennessee? We have three distilleries within 40k.HERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 2:29 am
