Hey everyone, I hope you're having a wonderful day!In this post I want to show you where things are headed for the rest of this year and what you can look forward to. So let's dive right in. ContentsNew standard partsModel updatesNew models If you've been here from the start, you can really see it. From my first model, the Leopard, to the Abrams and now the PzH 2000, the quality has kept going up. Developing a single model often takes several hundred hours, so I actually started this back with the Abrams and have now fully rolled it out. New assemblies that are becoming standard parts for my tanks and will go into every future model. It saves a huge amount of development time, and thanks to a solid design it keeps the quality consistent, so I'm not starting from scratch every time. Turret rotation mechanismDriven by an N20 motor through a worm drive, which still lets the turret rotate very precisely and with a lot of force.     New turret ringThis one comes with a special feature: a mount for the barrel. The barrel hooks onto two arms and can be swapped between the modules quickly with just two screws. On top of that, the ring now has a mount for a slip ring.    Barrel modulesProbably long awaited: going forward there will be two modules for all tanks, the new recoil unit and the new firing unit. For platform reasons the firing module won't be officially available on MakerWorld. I'll share more about it through my newsletter and Instagram. As for the details, both modules share the same mount, so you can switch between them without much hassle. The sizes are matched, which means the gearing for raising and lowering the barrel is identical.For the firing module I've moved away from the Bambu gears. This time it runs on a 150 rpm servo through a worm drive. That gives it a lot more power, and no more gears snapping off.     Model updatesThe new standard parts are gradually making their way into every model: • PzH 2000: currently in the pre-launch phase of the crowdfunding, and the first model built fully around this new approach. • Abrams: already a solid base, getting a big update soon to make it fully compatible. • KF51 (1:21): also getting an update for the e-commerce launch. When it launched on Bambu Lab I received a really thorough review, and a bunch of users put a huge amount of effort into improving the project. Thanks to all of you!   New Models KF51 (1:16) The elephant in the room: the KF51 in 1:16  I know this is the one most of you have been waiting for. The reason it's taken so long is that the KF51 became the basis for something bigger, and it's going to be seriously cool. What exactly? I'll reveal that first on Instagram and in the newsletter, so definitely swing by, otherwise you'll miss the reveal. The base model itself is basically finished. Newsletter: https://0k7izg.subscribepage.io/Instagram: tobideve_makerworld   Tiger II (King Tiger)The Tiger II has actually been in the works for several months. Unfortunately it got rejected during the crowdfunding review. To be honest, that was most likely on me, probably because I had uploaded it as a firing version. I can't say for sure since I never got a fully clear answer, but I really don't want to point fingers at MakerWorld here. For now it's open what happens with the model. Like the others, it will still be rebuilt on the new standard parts, since it was developed before them. Maybe if I resubmit it with the recoil simulation it will get approved. I do want to be upfront though: there's a real chance this model won't be developed further or released.       PZH2000My current flagship model is now in the pre-launch phase of the crowdfunding. Here's the link again → For more details feel free to check out the crowdfunding page. https://makerworld.com/de/crowdfunding/323-1-16-pzh2000-cyberbrick-tank   Truck with lowloader I also tried my hand at a little side project and built a truck with a lowloader trailer. It's powered by a strong 540 motor paired with a heavy duty gearbox. The goal was to create a proper hauler for my tanks. A lot of you have noticed that the more complex and detailed the models get, the heavier they become too. It wasn't an easy task and I'm still right in the middle of development. This could also turn into the basis for all kinds of different trailers or modules down the line, like a tipper and so on. But here's a first preview of how it could look in the end. A lot of it isn't finished yet though.    OutlookBehind the scenes I'm working on something bigger that will really expand what my models are capable of. All existing models stay compatible as usual, no worries. 🙂 What exactly is behind it I'll reveal first on Instagram and in the newsletter.👉 All the details, behind the scenes looks and what's coming next, first right here: 📸 Instagram: tobideve_makerworld ✉️ Newsletter:  https://0k7izg.subscribepage.io/ This goes deeper than what I post here, so come by so you don't miss anything!Cheers, Tobi

💥 Super Cool Mini Tank 🚀Get ready for some miniature action! This awesome, palm-sized tank is the perfect addition to your desk or toy collection. 🪖 The tank is designed with a 3MF profile making it super easy to print, and it has movable joints. Do you want to try printing it?

I’m excited to share a first preview of a model I’m currently working on and plan to upload soon. This project is a cooperation with @Sgt_Reckless, who kindly shared his display model of the M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 Main Battle Tank with me. Honestly, this is one of the best-looking and most detailed tank display models I’ve ever seen, so we decided to team up: → I take his highly detailed static model and upgrade it into a fully RC CyberBrick model. What’s the goal? This model is completely overengineered by design. The main focus is to implement every mechanical feature as well as possible, while still keeping the assembly process as easy and accessible as possible,  all without compromising the original look of the display model. AvailabilityThe finished model will be available for free on MakerWorld, without any crowdfunding or paywalls. 🔧 RC features:Individual track steering360° turret rotationFront and rear LEDs🔩 Engineering highlights:Based on the M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 Main Battle Tank (1:30 scale)Designed as a fully RC CyberBrick-compatible modelAll moving parts are mounted on ball bearings to ensure extremely smooth and reliable operationThe RC, drivetrain, and mechanics are hidden inside the belly of the tank and covered with platesVisually, the model stays almost identical to the original display versionFrom the outside, it still looks like a highly detailed display model, but underneath, it’s a serious RC machine.More updates coming soon Let me know what you think!

Update 3.0: Der XL Cyberbrick Tank wird noch besser!Hallo zusammen! Das Warten hat ein Ende – das lang ersehnte Update 3.0 ist endlich da.Es hat ein wenig gedauert, da meine anderen Projekte und Modelle mich stark eingespannt haben. Doch aufgrund der vielen Anfragen und eures wertvollen Feedbacks habe ich mich drangesetzt, um die gewünschten Verbesserungen umzusetzen.Hier sind die wichtigsten Neuerungen im Überblick:1. Überarbeitete SeitenpanzerungDie Seitenpanzerung wurde komplett neu angepasst und die Gelenke verstärkt. Das Highlight: Die Teile sind nun als Print-in-Place konstruiert, was den Druck und Zusammenbau deutlich effizienter macht. 2. Optimierte Frontpartie & LagerungIch habe das Problem der herausfallenden Kugellager gelöst:Die Kontaktflächen wurden verstärkt (extrudiert).Auf der Innenseite wurde ein zweites Kugellager hinzugefügt.Neues Rollen-System: Die Achse wird jetzt komplett durchgeschoben und die Halterung gegen das Lager verschraubt. Das sorgt für deutlich mehr Stabilität und verhindert, dass Teile während der Fahrt abfallen. 3. Weniger Spiel in der MechanikDie Hebelarme wurden gekürzt, um das mechanische Spiel zu minimieren und die Präzision der Bewegungen zu erhöhen. 4. Upgrade auf die 030 Main-GearboxDie N20-Motoren haben sich für die Größe des Panzers als zu schwach erwiesen. Daher ist die 030 Gearbox ab sofort die Standard-Lösung.Meine Empfehlung: Nutzt 88T Aftermarket-Motoren in Kombination mit dem Bambu 1:85 Getriebe. Diese Kombination bietet eine massive Steigerung der Motorleistung und Performance.  ich werde meine motoren unter dem panzer in der einkausliste verlinken. aber die Stecker sind nicht gleich also diese müssen geändert werden.

🛠️ Version 2.0 – 20.07.2025Dieses Update macht den Panzer kompatibel mit den standardmäßigen Cyberbrick-Motoren (👉 030 Micro DC Motor mit SH1.0). Der Panzer selbst bleibt unverändert – es wurde ein neues Druckprofil hinzugefügt.🔧 Änderungen:Neue Halterung für das 1:48 Single-axis Plastic Reduction Gear Kit (kompatibel auch mit anderen Übersetzungen)Enthält eine neue Antriebswelle🧩 Zusammenbau:Montage erfolgt nach dem Bambu Lab StandardprinzipDie Welle wird auf den Motor gesteckt und durch das Kugellager geführtAnschließend wird sie von oben verschraubtAußen kann dasselbe Zahnrad wie bisher verwendet werden

🔧 Version 1.0 – 18.07.2025Erstes funktionales Update mit kleineren mechanischen Optimierungen.✨ Änderungen:Aussparung im hinteren Teil (rechts) zur Aufnahme eines Schalters → ermöglicht das Ein-/Ausschalten von unten → der Schalter wird mit einer M2.5x6 BHCS-Schraube befestigt (enthalten im Cyberbrick-Kit)Korrektur des Verbinders zwischen Mittel- und Endteil: → bisher wurden zwei verschiedene benötigt – nun passt ein einheitliches Verbindungsteil für beide SeitenOptimierte Druckparameter: → individuelle Anpassung von Füllung, Schichthöhe sowie variable Layerhöhe zur Verbesserung der Detailqualität
