Tron Tank by rkxone

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

I wanted to build the original tron tank thing from the original, but there were just so many issues, so I spent the morning and part of the afternoon rebuilding it and fixing it.
What's fixed:
All the parts have been properly scaled
Fixed 90% of the void model issues in the turret
Recombined the turret and split it in a way that prints easier and better
New turret swivel setup (completely removed the washer setup which was too thin
What's rebuilt:
Tank Treads & Spacers:
Scaled the tank tread spacers
Rebuilt both spacers and treads, flattened the inside edges for attaching to the body and spacers
put in new cutouts for the new turret swivel
Spacers:
Removed the spacer setup and put a deeper cutout into the body and a post under the turret
The turret:
ugh it was a 4 piece split build, I dunno why, but I rejoined all the piece, this is not the most efficient print for this part, but I did my best to make it better than it was
fixed 90% of the void issues (cura still gives a model error but prints fine now)
scale has been fixed
split the turret in half in a way that makes more sense and is easier to assemble (the front lip prints too thin and breaks, but it does not affect assembly or the model. fully tested twice, due to the split this is the compromise here
Filled most of the cannon tube except the side ports and the front
rebuilt a bunch of the geometry
You will want to do full support for this, but it's only like one tiny piece of the cannon tube that uses it. you can probably get away without it tho its a really tiny bridge
created a post system for swivelling the canon on the body
Also added tolerance for this, allows for movement and posing
Body:
scaled down and based all the parts scale of this
new inset for the swivel put in
joined the front arrow to the body, I get why it was done this way originally but the layer was so thin it doesn't come out that well
Removed the triangle
Bonus:

I have included a full body/tread/track assembly, in can anyone wants to print it in one shot solid with supports

Issues:
There are some minor errors, but this prints out perfectly fine now and assembles well, now its a load and print with no fiddling or guessing and it's a more straight forward assembly
Notes:
the only thing unmodified in this was really just the outer treads, the rest was rebuilt in some way or another.
I'm still really new to 3d modelling and repair but I think it came out really well and would be a great addition to the great tron vehicle models out there.
Hope you enjoy! If you like my work please consider donating :)
Please post any makes I would love to see it. I have posted my test print, looks awesome to me at normal size barring my 10 minute paint job ;) but a larger size will be easier to paint those edge lines.
Enjoy! If you enjoy my prints please consider donating, even a dollar helps :) it's always appreciated :) https://www.paypal.me/RychardK
