I found this forum thru my interest in the 3D printed T35A tank. Since there is no BOM associated with his build, I thought that maybe someone might have created one after building their's. (fingers crossed) I retired back in 2020 just before Kovid and was gonna to start a part-time position with LOWES that Monday and work called me to come back to help out. No brainer, where else can you get paid for doing nothing, not having to deal with J Q Public but then there is the other side of the public most people don't see, the jail side.
As I tell everyone, I'm the relative who came to visit but hasn't left, yet!
Wife got me an Ender 3 to keep busy with and then picked up a Longer Ray 5 to help keep me out of trouble.
Hi ya'll from stumptown

Welcome. As a guy who recently became a Grandpa, I'd say I'm close to old guy status. I also like the T35, but haven't printed one yet. I have the files, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. As far as a BOM, I haven't seen one. I think most of the folks that have built it or will build it kinda make it up as they go along. I have so many screws and parts from building tanks that I just dip into my stashes to do my builds. I bought a couple variety set of M3 nut/bolts off Amazon. I say a couple because cap heads work well in most situations, but some places you might need a countersunk head.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada!
Another new slippery slope 3D printing guy. There are some masters on here that will help you along. PETG is driving me crazy!
Happy building!
Mike.

Welcome, lemonyx! There will be lots of help here on RCTW for 3D printing, and having that equipment just breaks open a whole Pandora's Box of possibilities. Keep us apprised of all your fun and successes (and even the grumble moments).
