Did I understand correctly? I did not know that one might use JB Weld as a coating. Such a coating would strengthen vulnerable small or light parts. Good idea!

I did it as a last resort. The printed basket was too thin in diameter anyway and made out of the most brittle material. Might be a bit too thick but who cares it is now is the strongest thing on the whole tank.Herr Dr. Professor wrote: ↑Mon Nov 03, 2025 4:04 pm Did I understand correctly?

I realize 3D printing is the future but for heavy outside use there are still some frustratingly weak parts that are too easily ripped off just transporting the tanks never mind actually battling them. The hull,tracks and even the suspension on this on are more than capable but the stuff like the guards and basket were too fragile
