M1 Abrams Tank's Mighty 120mm Round | Full Size

Summary

This is a 1:1 life-sized replica of the legendary 120mm Round fired by the M1 Abrams Tank, Leopard 2, and Leclerc, to name a few.

New A4 Version Filaments used

• Base/Bottom
  • Bambu Metal Iridium Gold
  • Polymaker Metallic Chrome (Amazon link)
    • Bambu Basic Dark Gray would work too
• Casing Main Body
  • Sunlu Silk Silver (Amazon link)
    • Note: I printed at a higher speed than you are supposed to with Silk to intentionally make it look dull/less-shiny.  I printed it with Bambu Matte settings despite it being Silk.
    • Any semi-shiny light gray filament will work though such as:
      • Bambu Silk+ Silver
      • Bambu Basic Silver
      • etc
• Round/Shell (at the top)
  • Bambu Basic Light Gray
    • You can also use white filaments
  • Sunlu Black Silk (Amazon link)
    • Bambu Metal Iron Gray would work too
  • Bambu Silk+ Silver (for the pointy tip)

A2 Version Filaments used

• Silk Silver for the main body and sabot tip
• Metal Iridium Gold and Matte Black for the bottom of the base
• Basic Blue Gray for the top of the base
• Basic White for the bottom of the sabot
• Metal Black for most of the sabot casing

Newer A4 Version Assembly

Simply screw the pieces together and stick the pointy tip into the top.  See image below for assembly order.

1. Screw the main body segments together as shown below:
   1. The parts should screw together very easily, if you find you have to force the screws to get them started, then your two pieces probably aren't level.
   2. Make sure the parts of level/flat when you start screwing them on so you don't screw them on at an angle.  If you set one piece on a table or flat surface, that helps a lot.
   3. Make sure you don't over tighten the screwed on parts

2. Next, take the double side screw peg (shown in blue below) and screw it fully or partly (either is fine) into the piece as shown below:

3. Then, screw the other side of  double sided screw into the other piece as shown below.  As you tighten it will tighten into both at the same time.

4. Lastly, insert the pointy tip into the top and that's it.

Older A2 Version Assembly

Simply connect the pieces as shown below using the provided pegs.  You should use the looser pegs provided if you intend to glue the parts together for greater strength (recommended).

If you have more than one build plate, I recommend switching between build plates to let the parts cool down before removing them to help prevent any cracking since these are such big pieces with a lot of adhesion.  If you don't have multiple build plates, then I recommend at least waiting 10 minutes or so to let the plate cool down for the larger silver pieces.
