3D printable Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer
Re: 3D printable Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer
It was an amazing job by Wayne.
Not an easy task at all.
I have decided to redraw internals and make 1/6 version.
They are identical from the outside, but very different from the inside.
Lot of things in 1/16 Hetzer are really unnecessarry for 1/6.
90% of the lower hull is ready in 1/6, working on the gun right now.
Will be designed for JGB37-550 motors and big servos.
Building will be the same - easy and fun.
Just need at least 400x400 buildplate for printer.
I can make some screenshots from that new model if you want.

Re: 3D printable Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer
Absolutely WOW.
Yes I have an Ender 5 plus so I can go biggish. Edit I'm 350x350 so?
Midlife I messaged you on Thingverse about scaling up Dean Rauch's T-35A to 1/6 or 1/8.
You probably don't remember. You said to make the 1/16 then go from there. I printed out a 1/48 scale Flower class Corvette from CGTrader instead.
Ready for my next printing project while I fit out the ship.
I found a 1/10 scale IS-1 and a 1/10 Tiger 1 , you commented on the Tiger on Thingverse too.
You get around bro .lol.
That big Hetzer is mad mate , awesome..

50Koruny my build plate is 350 by 350 so I might be out of luck at 1/6.
That's a shame though I really like the Hetzer I always have , the tiny tank killer.
Some screenshots would be great.

Re: 3D printable Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer
My advice is the same for all items that you’re going to scale up, print it in 1/16 first, that way you learn & find out what works & what doesn’t, so when you have to reorient/reprint something you’ve only lost a few hours & a small amount of filament.
You could print it on a smaller printer at 1/6 but you would have to cut the parts into smaller manageable pieces in something like Slic3r.

Its on the edge, but it seems to be printable with 350x350.
Rotated by 45°, just a fast check with SuperSlicer.

Re: 3D printable Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer
Good advice to go small first .
You guys are awesome , honestly this is good stuff.
What medium did you print in Wayne ? I have about 10kg of PLA I got cheap , it prints good.
I made this with it but like I may have said I know very little about 3D prining but I know I like it.
That hull has a coat of fibreglass resin over it ready to sand back , that's why it looks globby I made the mix too strong and had to get it on fast.

Re: 3D printable Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer
I use PLA for everything except for the tracks where I’ve used PETG.
Fibreglass resin always worried me as it can get really hot & start to deform the print.
I found some cold cure resin which works a treat for boats, but it’s still a pita to sand back.
I’d use a good brand name filament for the big parts as although more expensive will reduce (not eliminate) nozzle issues.
I had a blockage 6 hours from the end of the 8 day print. I used the printer to measure the height where it stopped extruding & using Slic3r cut that bit from the top of the stl & printed that. It didn’t take much fettling to make the join seamless.

Hi,
1/6 Hetzer is almost ready.
Fully rebuilded for a new scale.Mechanics are completely changed.
There are some new details too.
1/6 version will be equipped with jgb37-550 motors.
Motors will be connected directly on the driving wheel.There are no belts in 1/6 version.
Using MG995 servos.
Here is a new tail light for the 1/6 Hetzer.
It contain 6 printed parts, 3x 3mm led lights and some thin transparent foil (of printed one).

Your 1/6 madness is infectious I see Wayne hahahhaa, you got someone else scaling up.
Nice work on the hetzer details.
