I have returned to the forum after a while and finding out it all got saddly wiped.

But I do now return.

And bring with me the recently discovered wonders of 3D printing!!

So here's my 2nd project. A roughly 1/3 scale Goliath tracked mine

Here's what I shall be building I shall upload my parts and progress at a later date

Hi. Welcome back.🤝

Here are some photos of the main hull and the side sponsors that hold the tracks road wheels and return rollers.

And a whole load of track links. Each side will take 47 links I believe

Welcome back!

That's a pretty cool build. Are you going to use a gearbox from an existing RC vehicle or 3D print one of those as well?

Carl

I have a pair of the best chinesium gearboxes that I am hoping to fit inside the final drive housing.

I'm going try and subtract the shape of the gearboxes from the housing and hopefully it should fit inside nice and snug then I just need to hook up the electronics and it should be good to go.

I found a good 2 channel controller on Facebook marketplace ha ha.

Welcome back. That puts my efforts to build a RC Das Werk’s Leopard2A7v into context.

Awesome project😀

Now to the current stage of the project.

Today's addition are the front road wheel assembly's

The model as a whole is a pretty simple kit designed to be put together with almost no screws. So all the wheels and suspension parts are push fit or go together with what is almost like a Lego clip.The model has been scaled up by just under 240%ajd I had to cut the sides and centre hull into 2 parts respectively. Unfortunately when printing I made a mistake with the slicer and cut about 10mm off of the rear section. But I'm hopeful I can drill some holes through the small bits and pin them together with something like a tooth picAnd here is a general overview of the build as a whole.

Welcome back and wow! That must have been a pretty detailed 3d model if youre able to scale it up this much and still retain so much detail. Defo following this!

To be fair it is a pretty nice one.

Is out for free as well.

Did some drilling and pinning yesterday with the toothpicks working brilliantly to pin those parts in place that I accidentally cut off in the printer program.

Now into printing the pins for holding the top and side panels in place

3D modelling is such a fun thing.
Basically learning it just for this and future projects. but I'm getting there.

All coming together. Just need some wire connectors to arrive and I can test all the electronics and put the newly modified gearboxes and assembly together and it should go :D

Well it may have taken 1.5 million iterations and me getting way to over zealous and both thinking through the fact a motor with gearbox and the hub I designed to go on it would all definitely not fit inside the tanks final drive housing without splitting it in two was quite the "DOGH" moment. But it's all looking like it will actually work out.

Now if I could just get the damn wires and connectors I ordered to be delivered I could look at actual finishing this thing.

This is starting to look very impressive. Definitely follow this.👍

Very impressive. You just need a 1/3 Tiger, control tank to go with it.

Some work done.
A few hours playing with shapes and some callipers and BING We have a frame for holding the reciver and ESC for the drive motors. :D

Not bad for a my first true home made 3d model.
