Leopard 1A5

cults3d

This is a model of the Leopard 1A5 main battle tank. This tank was used in the armies of lots of countries in Europe and abroad, developed by Germany in the early cold war, an absolute icon – and now you have the chance to build your own. The archive also contains the files to print the Leopard 1A6, a prototype equipped with a mighty 120mm gun. The model is in the scale of 1/16 and fully functional to be fitted with radio control, and can 100% be printed on an FDM printer with 180 x 180 build volume. It can even be used as a stand model! The model is designed to be driven by the standard Heng Long gearboxes (Low and high profile motor placement both work, short driveshafts are mandatory) We use TK7.1 electronics. Cannon elevation and recoil functions are achieved via 2 SG90 servos, but there’s also legacy support for the TK6.0/TK7.0 BB system (but with no recoil). Turret rotation is done via a HL rotation unit. There are provisions to fit front and rear lights, 2x 40mm speakers and smoke functions. We test-print our models in PETG, and using PETG on the torsion bars and suspension arms is recommended – but the rest of the tank can be printed in pretty much any material. Make sure to use enough infill on the structural parts to prevent breakages.
