These turned out great. I even made tracked and wheeled versions.

I appreciate your efforts so much. CGL needs to do a better job getting what's on the paper made into plastic (and for more reasonable prices). The models are super detailed and amazing. The floating hex base system could fit better. I've printed a bunch of these, so I'll tell you what worked for me, and what did not. What didn't work: When I combined everything on one plate and cloned it a couple times, it led to a total spaghetti disaster. Printing the hex bases as you have the settings right now warps badly on the A1 series. What worked for me: Move the vehicles together on one plate, and hex bases to another. The hex bases print perfectly with 2 layers of raft on normal layer height with a 0.2mm nozzle (though a 0.4mm on standard height would be better). The hovercraft prints without a raft, but I'd recommend one anyway (or brim ears). I recommend separating this into two or three different models. The bases could be printed much faster with a 0.4mm nozzle.
