Gun turret for Matchbox MXT toy truck.

thingiverse

This is a gun turret for the Matchbox MXT toy truck. The parts included are specifically designed for the gun, turret, and base, with the actual truck not provided. However, you can easily find these toy trucks in most stores, thanks to their widespread availability. This design is part of an effort to create support vehicles for the A.M.V.P.'s. To keep costs down and offset the expense of fully printing AMVP's, using toy trucks as a base was a crucial decision. With each truck available for about $1 and around $4 worth of printing costs, this project remains affordable. The turret is attached to the base using filament, allowing it to rotate freely, while the gun can also elevate up and down with ease. I hope you enjoy building and customizing these designs. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2 Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: Standard Notes: I'd like to extend my gratitude to the staff at my local library's Makerlab for their kind assistance in printing and testing these designs, as I don't have access to a printer myself. Post-Printing: After printing, I filed and sanded most surfaces until they were smooth, then gave them a coat of airbrushed finish. How I Designed This Matchbox generously provided the toy trucks, which just needed some additional equipment and firepower to become fully functional support vehicles.
