Flamethrower Tank 3D Printing Model | Assembly

gambody

Flamethrower Tank model for 3D printing is shaped according to the tank with the same name that appears in the widely known and played 40k war video game. The tank is included in the Imperial armed forces, although only in the second-line arsenal.With an ancient design, Marlcador Infernus’ peak of production was during the Great Crusade as a variant pattern of the Flame Assault Tank. Many tanks have rolled off the production line, being used by the armed forces in battles.This Flamethrower heavy tank 3D model features a fuel trailer the tank tows behind. This design idea is not strategically brought into application. Due to the position of the fuel trailer the tank is subject to sudden explosions, if dealing with fire.Flamethrower battle tank made for 3D printing showcases the fuel trailer attached to the tank’s rear. It is accurately reproduced and features another important element of the WH40K Malcador Tank – its Inferno Gun, capable of throwing immense flames. Its fuel trailer and Inferno Gun gave the tank the name of flame thrower tank, clearing mine areas and making them safer for passage.The 3D printable Flamethrower Tank is showcased with its fearful gun in forward position. The model’s replica has all design elements of the game model. It consists of 23 parts, all optimized to fit onto 16x16cm print bed. The engine hoses at the tank’s rear were the most difficult parts to model.The 3D model is designed to save filament and use little support when being printed. The files have been checked and corrected in Netfabb and have been executed in Cura 15.06. The error-free files can be printed on all types of 3D printers.Flamethrower heavy tank size in assembly form is: 169mm depth, 250mm wide and 101mm tall. The modeling took about 22 hours.Download Flamethrower Tank 3D files by clicking on the “Buy” button.

They now are adapted to be 3D printed using any slicing program. 3D model files are already available for purchase and download. ________________________The model was completely redone. Here is the list of changes:1. Changed the cutting of the model for more comfortable printing with the smallest amount of supports.2. Reworked assembly of the model and Locks were added for connecting the parts.3. Increased detalization, as well as worked out small technical details in order to maximize the repeat of the game analog model.4. This update was divided into 4 versions, for comfortable printing on different types of printers. The SLS version of Flamethrower Tank was divided into 2 new scale versions of 1:72 and 1:96.One part of Lock (2_Ge_lock_10H_(x88)) you need to print 88 times.New sizes of this model:FFF/FDM version 1:48 Scale dimensions:After being printed will stand - 121 mm tall, 188 mm wide, 425 mm deep;DLP/SLA/SLS version 1:72 Scale dimensions:After being printed will stand - 81 mm tall, 126 mm wide, 283 mm deep;SLS version 1:96 Scale dimensions:After being printed will stand - 61 mm tall, 93 mm wide, 212 mm deep;There are 29 parts for FFF/FDM version, 14 parts for DLP/SLA version and 3 parts for each SLS versions.STL files are already available for download in “Source files” tab for (FDM/FFF 2.0), (DLP/SLA 1.0), (SLS 1:72), (SLS 1:96).Watch the tutorial video on how to assemble new Flamethrower Tank 3D Printing Model at Gambody YouTube channel. _______FAQ: Where can I print a model if I have no printer?How to get started with 3D printing?How to set up my 3D printer?How to choose right 3D model print bed positioning? How to paint printed figurineThis model was tested in Cura 3.3.1 and printed on an Ultimaker 2 in PLA material. Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura and Simplify3D softwares.Recommendations: For all parts of Locks you need to change "Brim" type to "Skirt" in Build Plate Adhesion section.To avoid printing problems, we recommend the following settings:QualityLayer Height: 0.1 mmInitial Layer Height: 0.3 mmLine Width: 0.4 mm Wall Line Width: 0.4 mm   Outer Wall Line Width: 0.4 mm   Inner Wall(s) Line Width: 0.4 mm Top/Bottom Line Width: 0.4 mm Infill Line Width: 0.4 mm Skirt/Brim Line Width: 0.4 mmSupport Line Width: 0.4 mm Initial Layer Line Width: 100%ShellWall Thickness: 0.8 mm    Wall Line Count: 2Outer Wall Wipe Distance: 0.2 mmTop Surface Skin Layers: 0Top/Bottom Thickness: 0.8 mm   Top Thickness: 0.8 mm      Top Layers: 8    Bottom Thickness: 0.8 mm      Bottom Layers: 8Top/Bottom Pattern: LinesBottom Pattern Initial Layer: LinesTop/Bottom Line Directions: [ ]Outer Wall Inset: 0 mmCompensate Wall Overlaps: Check    Compensate Outer Wall Overlaps: Check    Compensate Inner Wall Overlaps: CheckFill Gaps Between Walls: EverywhereFilter Out Tiny Gaps: CheckHorizontal Expansion: 0 mmInitial Layer Horizontal Expansion: 0 mmZ Seam Alignment: Sharpest CornerSeam Corner Preference: Hide SeamIgnore Small Z Gaps: CheckExtra Skin Wall Count: 1InfillInfill Density: 20%Infill Line Distance: 4.0 mmInfill Pattern: GridInfill Line Directions: [ ]Infill X Offset: 0 mmInfill Y Offset: 0 mmInfill Overlap Percentage: 10%    Infill Overlap: 0.04 mmSkin Overlap Percentage: 5%    Skin Overlap: 0.02 mmInfill Wipe Distance: 0.1 mmInfill Layer Thickness: 0.1 mmGradual Infill Steps: 1Gradual Infill Steps Height: 1.5 mmInfill Before Walls: CheckMinimum Infill Area: 0 mm2Skin Removal Width: 0.8 mm    Top Skin Removal Width: 0.8 mm    Bottom Skin Removal Width: 0.8 mmSkin Expand Distance: 0.8    Top Skin Expand Distance: 0.8    Bottom Skin Expand Distance: 0.8Maximum Skin Angle for Expansion: 90˚    Minimum Skin Width for Expansion: 0.0MaterialInitial Layer Flow: 100%Enable Retraction: CheckRetraction Extra Prime Amount: 0 mm3Retraction Minimum Travel: 0.8 mmMaximum Retraction Count: 90Minimum Extrusion Distance Window: 6.5 mmNozzle Switch Retraction Distance: 16 mmNozzle Switch Retraction Speed: 20 mm/s    Nozzle Switch Retract Speed: 20 mm/s    Nozzle Switch Prime Speed: 20 mm/sSpeed Print Speed: 45 mm/s    Infill Speed: 50 mm/s    Wall Speed: 22.5 mm/s      Outer Wall Speed: 22.5 mm/s      Inner Wall Speed: 45 mm/s    Top/Bottom Speed: 15 mm/sTravel Speed: 60 mm/sInitial Layer Speed: 22.5 mm/s  Initial Layer Print Speed: 22.5 mm/s  Initial Layer Travel Speed: 30 mm/sSkirt/Brim Speed: 30 mm/sMaximum Z Speed: 0 mm/sNumber of Slower Layers: 2Travel Combing Mode: AllAvoid Printed Parts when Traveling: CheckTravel Avoid Distance: 0.625 mmLayer Start X: 0.0 mmLayer Start Y: 0.0 mmCooling Enable Print Cooling: CheckFan Speed: 100%    Regular Fan Speed: 100%    Maximum Fan Speed: 100%Regular/Maximum Fan Speed Threshold: 10 sInitial Fan Speed: 0%Regular Fan Speed at Height: 0.3 mm    Regular Fan Speed at Layer: 2Minimum Layer Time: 5 sMinimum Speed: 10 mm/sSupport Generate Support: CheckSupport Placement: EverywhereSupport Overhang Angle: 60°Support Pattern: Zig ZagConnect Support ZigZags: CheckSupport Density: 15 %    Support Line Distance: 1.3333 mmSupport Z Distance: 0.3 mm    Support Top Distance: 0.3 mm    Support Bottom Distance: 0.3 mmSupport X/Y Distance: 1 mmSupport Distance Priority: Z overrides X/YMinimum Support X/Y Distance: 0.25 mmSupport Stair Step Height: 0.3 mmSupport Stair Step Maximum Width: 5.0 mmSupport Join Distance: 2.0 mmSupport Horizontal Expansion: 0.2 mmSupport Infill Layer Thickness: 0.1 mmGradual Support Infill Steps: 0Use Towers: CheckTower Diameter: 3.0 mmMinimum Diameter: 3.0 mmTower Roof Angle: 65°Build Plate Adhesion Build Plate Adhesion Type: Brim (for all parts of locks use "Skirt")Skirt/Brim Minimum Length: 250 mmBrim Width: 8.0 mm    Brim Line Count: 18Brim Only on Outside: CheckMesh Fixes Union Overlapping Volumes: CheckMerged Meshes Overlap: 0.15 mmSpecial ModesPrint Sequence: All at OnceSurface Mode: NormalExperimentalSlicing Tolerance: MiddleMaximum Resolution: 0.01 mmFlow rate compensation max extrusion offset: 0 mmFlow rate compensation factor: 100%Disclaimer: This model will look outstanding if printed on SLA/SLS 3D printer.
