Re: STLs for Chieftain, Centurion, Churchill, Matilda,Crusader
Having scaled up a KV-1 to 1/6th I can say it is possible, but it does require some planning and high quality files to begin with. I would never try to scale from 1/16 to 1/6th. I think that is just too much change. I started with 1/10th files and scaled them to 1/6th, but the STL files I used were really good. Reducing infill will reduce weight. I was able to re-engineer the suspension to still have bearings, but had to create adapters to fill the odd sized holes after scaling. I have also used the Bambu slicer to fill holes and cut new ones in smaller sizes. It's harder to do that modifying the CAD file, but it does work.
