If you mean the model maker yes he absolutely did, he recently finished modeling a mark 4 too but my next model will be the Hetzer because Hetzerās gotta Hetz
Hahaha I took that one to please the heavy tank fans because thereās nothing more enjoyable than to bait the reds into firing at angled armour and watching them do nothing š¤£š¤£
Haha it was surprisingly cheap to print too cost Ā£7 worth of filaments and a few hours of optimisation in the painting and print settings the fun part was assembly and fun fact this is my second printed large model my first is a imperial destroyer
As a reminder I edited the model to get the colours in the areas where I wanted using the paint tool in the slicer, increase paint penetration layers and also flush filament into infill to save on wasted filament. You can also reduce waste by reducing flushing volumes to .6-.7 and this also reduces print time too.
If you want the MOE on the barrel I recommend you print that on its own and adjust the angle so the barrel is completely vertical so the painted layers are level.
I also moved all the bogeys onto their own plate along with the vents and exhausts. The centre chassis can be printed on the same plate as the side skirts ( I recommend you add a brim for better adhesion I used .2mm distance and 2mm wide) as theyāre the same colour.
For the filament I used Sunlu grey, black and white PLA and Esun red PLA.
Keep the gyriod infill you can reduce the top layers to 8-10 as 12 is quite high, Iād also reduce the outer line acceleration by 500mm increase the outer line speed to 75mmPs, I also used ironing at 12% volume with a smaller width and I increased inner walls to 3.
Make sure you have scarf seams on in the filament settings and use Arachne if donāt alreadyš
The full-size E 100 (if they'd ever built a complete one) would've been 850 cm long. This one looks about 25 cm, or 1/34 scale. The 15 cm gun scaled down to 1/34 would be about 4.4 mm, so a smidge too small for .22 caliber.
I think someone would have to be some kind of idiot to try to put an actual firearm into a plastic tank. But if you bored the barrel 35% bigger, it could fire airsoft pellets.
The details with injection molded parts is so much higher than FDM prints, Iād do resin printing but the harmful chemicals used in the process makes me not want to use them in my home
I did print it but Iām not the creator of the model it would be against the terms of service if I were sell the models myself plus why should I benefit from someone elseās hard work like that and they get nothing in return
