Deff Trukk Part 11

The Swiss-Cheese Holed Exhaust Pipes. My printer has been acting strangely. To avoid any potential issues, I decided to print the pipes with a section that requires sanding off. Just to clarify, these pipes are designed to be printed upside down. Gunner Shield Assembly. The exhaust pipes need to be sanded down for proper attachment. Initially, they were too thick and wouldn't fit on the gun body. So, I had them start at the same level as the engine, but where the pipes connect to the gun body, there's a curve upward. Simply shave off excess material until it fits. The Main Gun Barrels. You might need to sand down the base of the barrels before they fit into the slots on the main gun body. It could be an issue with my printer or the design itself. Extra Assembly Notes: The Gun Body to Back Pegs are meant to be slotted into the holes on the blank side of the Body Back part, then attached to the Main Gun Body using those pegs. Since I couldn't print male/female pins, this was the next best solution. I also printed an extra ladder for the back, between the two exhaust pipes. It needs to be bent outwards, but I recommend bending it after painting. The paint adds extra support to the part. Some parts come in pairs; simply break them apart from each other. The front hooks require a chain or string or wire leading up to the main crane. I used rings to attach the chain to the hooks and attached it to the longest bit of chain using a zip tie that came with the chain. I then fed the chain through the center of the crane arm and draped it over the front nub. To connect the two hook chains to the main chain, you can use a third ring. I showed an example in one photo. Many of the support parts are designed to be very tight fits. I painted the gun barrels and supports separately before assembling them, which required using a screwdriver head to bore out some holes for proper fitment. For the Bullet Belt: The design allows you to shape it to fit in place after painting. Each link can only bend a small amount, but there are enough links that you can make it snake from the bullet barrels under the gun up to the intake on the main body. Painting it first helps strengthen the links and allows them to bend more before breaking. When adding the gun and its platform, be very careful not to topple the thing due to its size. It's a tight fit between the smoke stacks. You can print just the bottom curved portion of the smoke stack if you don't like the design. Attach it to a flat part on top, and it will act as an extra gun platform and help the main gun fit better.
