Summary

This is a german "Panzerjaeger-Triebwagen" from WWII and a kind of weird project. Lacking any modell railroad i decided to build something that runs on the Lego tracks. At ebay i got a flatbed railroad car and constructed the historic "Panzerzug" to match.
I have no clue what scale it is but 2 Lego mini figures fit (barely) inside it.

The hull consists of two identically and rotationally symmetric parts plus the top of the cabin. Originally i planned to glue the main parts together, but with the cabin roof on top it fits and holds quite firm and nicely.

Printed with a 0.5mm nozzle on my OrdBot with something like 35 degree support the bridging was challenging but worked quite well. I think its possible even without support.

The little PzIV turrets demanded some testing before they fit and turned the way i wanted it. It depends on shrinking plastic and calibration of the printer.
The turrets need some 2.5mm sticks for the barrels.

If you have real 200 by 200 mm printbed or even a bit larger, you can try to combine the two hull parts and print them as one. My print room was slightly off center and unwilling to print all corners, so i split it in half.
