GI Joe Mauler MBT

thingiverse

The Mauler MBT from 1985. The file is a full-scale replica created from the actual toy, optimized for printing at 25%. Printing outside this range may result in too much or too little detail. My finished model weighs 25 grams, costing approximately 53 cents in materials. This file is free to download, but note that it's listed as non-commercial since it's a copy of intellectual property not owned by me. As such, neither you nor I can sell physical copies of this 3-D model. You are allowed and encouraged to print copies for personal use. Print the tracks with hubcaps up using support. The chassis and turret should be printed right-side up with support. Print the gun horizontal for added strength. Side armor does not require support. A fun tip: Glue it together so that the center suspension appears to work. Attach the tracks to the chassis at just the front and rear sprocket. Also, glue the armor plates onto just the chassis. Thanks go to Chris for loaning me his original model, saving me time and resulting in a more accurate replica. Great respect and gratitude are extended to past and present members of our Armed Forces, who are the "Real American Heroes". Their sacrifice allows people like me to live in peace, freedom, and create silly little toys such as this.
