Can be a Coelian as he would have in 1946

[Edwin]

In order to continue with the tower drive , I first set the speaker and other internals back into the tub.



Thus, the tower can be rotated acceptable to Build 4 small but wide ball bearing into the hull top . In order to achieve a distance of 0.5 mm between the tower and the roof I had the axes of the bearings unscrew something .







So I could then glue from the bottom and support the axles with plastic pieces.





So I Konnet the ring gear from the bottom tightening and it fits quite well.





Since the normal tower drive is too slow , I use a mini servo , to which I have set the drive gear of a HL gear.



To the still good and properly attach I drew me a small bracket that I 'm going to print it tomorrow .

[Edwin]

A very small little went here on today.

I have printed the first servo holder and so glued the servo it.



The servo I have cracked and so I need a controller to operate it. For this I use a micro controller of the power from the receiver gets and so I do not need a separate feed lines.



And so I then glued in place.



The drive works quite well now and gets on well with the weight of the tower, but unfortunately it is too slow for me. A revolution in about 8 seconds is just too slow for a flack tanks. Since I'll probably still install a faster servo. The tower was later able to make one revolution in about 3-4 seconds.

[Lert]

She's a real work of art there.

[Saxondog]

Brilliant in so many ways, fine work sir.

[Edwin]

The tower servo I have exchanged today. Was just a small effort and now the tower is much faster now. While he has still not the optimal speed, but I'll now first way.

By the way I have a few Etched found for Panther and dabbled in the anterior chain plates.







I did this intentionally bent and dented. I do not have a picture of a tank in use seen in which these sheets would not have been bent and so I will build my Coelian.

[Edwin]

And by the way it goes. There are still a few days to Munster .

This time out the mounting of the tower 's turn. I'll do that just as in the upper tray with magnets. In addition I have 4 x M5 flat head screws on the top of something planned , so that the magnets are well supported . In the bottom of the tower , I then marked out the positions of the screws first Drilled and lowered.





After I had cut a thread into the holes I could screw in the screws. This I have backed up with something Pattex and ready.

In order to attach the magnets and not to glue the tower came back adhesive tape used. Then I pinned the magnets . So then I could stick with one suitable piece of poly and STABILITH express the magnets in the correct position . It will look after everything is done in the tower like this .





By the magnets of the tower now holds the bomb and can be easily removed trotzden .

Thus, the turntable still the distance to the base of the tower has and leaves the tower rotate well I still have three spacers glued dan the turntable . Thus, the twist mechanism is now ready .



To my delight, then the postman rang and brought the sound module and speakers.

The course I have the same yet installed .

In the speaker but still had a damping insert . I use this preferred haze filter mats is available in any supermarket. The only cost little, can be cut well with scissors , are lightweight and have good damping properties at our frequencies. The speaker for that I had already printed on my 3D printer.





For a small test , it was enough and even the original sound from Koblenz Panthers came to life.





So I can now also with engine noise in Munster riding. At the other things I have yet to hone .

[Edwin]

Now I have first brought the clutter in order.



On the sides I've still got the openings from which hung the removed parts. This I have not plastered, but this I close with STABILITH. The can then edit as plastic and holds much better.





As I still had a little time I've removed the radio operator hatch. This is supposed to be to open and the switch below it. The driver's hatch is but also to the series.



And so I have the armor a bit compiled for Munster and tried the sound module.



The driving sound almost true, but everything else takes a turn later.

[Edwin]

And again a little further .

Since I could find an old and coincidentally suitable servo for tube evolation in my scraps box I've inspired me from Ralf's installation inspired in his Coelian and flanges the servo as Ralf on the side and connect it easy with a pen as a clutch .



I just had to come up with a bracket with the I set the servo exactly to the pivot point of the trailer and it also can extend to me again .



Thus, the carriage rotates with I drill in to any site through lid , mount and bearing spines a hole through which I later put a long screw . So I can be also pivot the rangefinder with the mount syncron of the other side with a lever then .

By the way , I have also drawn the lack of rolling shutter and will make this again with my 3 D printer. Since there are different drawings and pictures of the wood tower to the rolling shutter , I have opted for the larger version as this would have provided just more space inside.

[Edwin]

After I then had Evolation actually went as far as the problems go. Everything was just not accuratly enough and got stuck forever. After I had everything disassembled I also saw huge wear on the resin.





So I mounted the carriage and reasonable first 4 collars turned from steel.









Also, two new bolts made ??of brass.



So I have the bearing rings now glued and aligned in the mount and the tower.





Now the carriage moves smoothly and accuratly

By the way my printer yet the two parts has printed to the rolling shutter.



After a few adjustments I have this then glued to the mount and this is the result . The tower has an immediate effect quite different.

[Edwin]

From Munster I'm back and now I associate the same time several of things.

I have for my printer for some time a finer nozzle lie that I want to finally try and do I need for my Coelian nor the curved Flamkiller.
So I sat down and which drawn.



The printer I have rebuilt and now I have to find the correct settings for this nozzle has 0.35 mm. This is not done with a pressure.
But the first test prints can hope. In particular, the grid succeed almost immediately useful.







For comparison, .... the parts have a diameter of 15mm.
