Hello again...
Today I want to introduce almost a model of Renault FT 17 tank. I said "almost", because of 3D printing limitations and my laziness ( :) ) design has been simplified, but... it still looks like Renault FT.
Model has functional tracks. Model has movable turret and gun. If You want and know how You can motorize it... Or paint It like me and put it on the shelf.
To make it You need printed parts, glue and steel, carbon or even wood rod d=2,5mm (about 22 cm) for axles and gun and a few nuts and bolts (M3).
The best instruction are pics above (numbers are stl files names).
To make trucks You need 8 sets of "26.stl" (one side need 38 links). The links are connected by wire d=0,7mm. I use copper wire with d=0,7mm. It fits perfectly.
Traditionally SketchUp file included if You want to make some tuning or remix it.
Have fun...
