The GI Joe Snow Cat, a winterized halftrack companion to the Polar Battle Bear snowmobile also available on this website.
I used an old toy and a pair of 6 inch calipers to create this 3D file. As usual, the file is modeled at the size of the actual toy but is intended to be printed at 25%. If you print this larger or smaller it may have too much or too little detail.
The chassis should be printed right side up with supports.
The turret should be printed right side up with supports.
The front tires and treads should be printed with the hubcaps pointing up. No supports needed.
The ski missiles are printed with the ski down and supports turned on.
The chin piece is printed upside down and glued to the underside of the chassis. (see picture) If I had made this piece a part of the chassis then it would have left a lot of support material to clean off, which I didn’t like. A separate part was the lesser of two evils.
Much respect and gratitude to past and present members of our Armed Forces, you are the “Real American Heroes”. Your sacrifice allows people like me to live in peace, freedom and make silly little toys like these.
