RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Ok so i have been making waves and lots of searches & researching about this 3D print mallarkey.
Have bitten the bullet and bought a 3D printer, signed up for Thingverse, have been looking for cool sites as to where i can get downloads.
Also have good pointers on parts i need and suppliers of filament etc.

Just have to wait patiently now till it arrives.

Is anyone on here a member of thingverse or similar?
Is there a special RCTANKWARFARE group setup in 3D printing i can join?

Yay!!!
There isn’t a separate group for us but there is a group for wpl trucks.
Cheers
Wayne

Actually we do have a sector on the Forum titled 3D Printing, Subtle eh.

Hi, if you have a printer then you could be the owner of a Chieftain or a Centurion, check my threads.

I did see that, looks great. But I stick small to start with and see how we go.
Some stuff we do at work could possibly be a way to help pay for the hobby as I know there are colleagues who.outsource currently.

It's the artillery I seen that really interests me at moment and the accessories that go with.

Now clearing a space in my workshop outside to have a home for it.

What kind of printer did you get?

Creality 3d Ender

The Cr10 was too 'rich' for me currently.
Since I mean to this game I want to have a play and see how it goes. The ender is.getting great value for money review. It was also cheap with a lot knock3d off.

If we get into it, I may invest in bigger later. The Cr10s looks nice, but everyone has to start somewhere.
I think a first vehicle is gonna have to be a Willys Jeep as I have access to 3 locally to get in person touch and feel and get loads of photos & measurements.

The 3 ender is a cr10, just with a smaller print bed, but interestingly with a heated bed that allows it to print abs, so great choice.
