That looks good, I’d like a copy of the stl’s are available

I'm on it guys, will locate original stl's on work p.c and find a way of getting them to you. Had a quick look on the net but it looks like original posts have vanished. Busy at the NEC this week but I'll find them next week. Quick note if it interests anyone, the two complete motors were printed with E3d edge and the components were printed in PLA but I found it a pain to print the whole thing in PLA because of bed adhesion and cooling/warping issues.

If you can at least get some decent orthographic views, we can put them into Fusion360 and scale them in there..

I have also just finished drawing up 2 different type of wheel for the use of standard size WPL/HL tyres for the Russian GAZ 66 trucks. Can also be used on GAZ 34 6x6 and other similar vehicles

You've not been hanging around have you

No point hanging about for sure haha

More Prints tonight, need to perfect the GAZ 66 wheels a little as the small detail wasn't quite right

I have actually started a Wills MAD CAD thread in the 3D printing section!

Also have a Front bumper to make it look like M3 with a winch reel and hooks. Maybe get that printed into tomorrow

You have to understand for the halftrack it is not being done to any particular scale. Although circa 1/16 due to WPL truck chassis. But is just a fantasy modelled truck to look cool
Still need to draw up a cannon system and then shell storage for the back section etc But its getting there

Jerry cans are cool, what size nozzle are you using? Have you tried printing them standing up or will it knock them over? You're really motoring along there, I'm quite impressed with the creality, how does it price up to a prusa i3? One day we'll all be printing our own tanks I'm sure, the desktop printer world is advancing crazy fast at the moment.

Prusa I have no idea! The Ender3 is my 1st. But most importantly not the last.
Jerry Cans I need to try again, but yes will try to print upright.
Ender 3 nozzle 0.4mm, taken me a while to rein in and learn basics. More to learn, but I have a level I am happy with for my parts.

Did you manage to locate those stl's for the Tiger engine?

I want to get cracking with the internals for my Tiger and make an engine bay.
If you have some photos for front, side, top views and some form of measurement reference i can then draw up from the picture and scale what i can see.

Hi Will,
Bad news, original stl's have been lost, which means I only have the gcode for my printer.
Options are, you wait years for me to cad one myself, I send you my gcode on a memory card, if you're a coding genius you can alter the code to suit. Or , I can print a few of these off myself and send them to a select few members such as yourself and others that can split it apart and redo it?
I would happily send a few out free of charge if you PM me where you would like them sent to.
Will print and send 6 to start with.
Cheers guys
