Print Profile(2)
Description
This is a model with interior details. At this scale, I tried my best to retain the details of the original vehicle. The nozzle I used is 0.4.
The filament used is PLA. The tracks and some parts use black PLA. The black rubber parts of the road wheels are color-separated; printing requires AMS. If you don't want color-separated road wheels, you can print the wheel assembly plate from the profile adapted for A1 mini.
Before starting printing, it is recommended to cut a filament strand of about 20-30cm in the same color as the model, because it will be used for connecting movable parts of the model.
Some parts are very small, please be careful when removing supports. Tweezers may be needed for assembly. It is recommended to follow the assembly instructions, otherwise parts might conflict and prevent assembly.
Parts with red arrows require glue for assembly, blue parts do not require glue.
Below are the assembly instructions.
Road wheel section does not require glue.
The last pair of road wheels, acting as idler wheels, have different dimensions than other road wheels, please note.
This area is relatively narrow; tweezers are needed for installation.
Installation completed as shown.
The seat installed on the wall has positioning points.
Installation completed as shown.
The side panels on both left and right sides of the fighting compartment have installation positioning points.
Installation completed as shown.
The front end of the machine gun turret uses a piece of filament as a support rod. The length can be left a bit longer initially and adjusted as needed after gluing the ammo rack.
Installation completed as shown.
There are seat installation points on the side panel of the right ammo rack.
The upper part is the propellant charge rack, and the lower part is the warhead rack. The quantity to install and whether to glue them in place are optional.
The rear propellant charge rack is fixed using filament.
Two rows of propellant charge printing parts should not be separated and should be installed on the rear propellant charge rack. Whether to glue them is optional.
The rear plate is fixed using filament.
The spade has two mounting holes: the front one is for the pivot part, and the rear one is the fixing hole after the spade is raised.
Whether to glue the engine cover is optional; the space below can be used for storage.
The headlights are left and right specific. The two curved grooves should face inwards.
The two front engine covers are different; please distinguish between them.
The opening angle of the driver's windshield can be adjusted to your preference; the image is for reference only.
Below are the assembly instructions for the main gun. Before installation, it is recommended to check whether the installation holes that require a filament strand can pass through normally.
Insert a piece of filament here to provide damping for the main gun's elevation.
Schematic diagram.
Insert a piece of filament at the trunnion to fix the main gun (ignore the gun shield in the diagram for now; install the main gun first, ensure it can elevate normally, then glue the gun shield).
The gluing position of the gun shield is as shown.
Installation completed as shown.
The oil barrels are optional. The number to install and whether to glue them are up to your preference.
The canopy is an optional part, fixed by gravity and friction alone. Gluing is not recommended, otherwise the main gun cannot be removed (Note: machine gun rotation will be restricted after installing the canopy).
Note that the two sides of the canopy are of different lengths. When installing, the side with the build plate texture should face backward.
The travel lock is fixed using a piece of filament.
