I ended up coming home from work last night with a massive migraine so I wasn't able to post my updates. Hopefully tonight.

You mean when? :D Looks very impressive. I assume you are able to get it out of the room?
It's starting to get heavy now that the motors are in it. It's currently in the garage, but I was going to move it back into the hobby room so that I can do the wiring. I think the tracks are 3-4kg so once they are one it will be a little harder to move around. I bought one of those hydraulic lift tables recently so that I could raise it up while working on it.

Most of of it is PETG. Some ABS, but not much as I've been printing my ABS on my filament printer lately.

You underestimate yourself. We all know your crazy enough to print another one as one is never enough.
I've really wanted to print the Warprints Cromwell... :)
