Mamba Bridgelayer

thingiverse

A variation of Vontraggs excellent bridgelayer. I just wanted a kind of more massive brigde. Note that you'll need the original base vehicle from Vontragg to complete the model. You can find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3697605 You have to select all parts except those for the bridge, the delivery system and the targeters in the back. The remaining parts should then add together to the vehicle shown in the file "base vehicle" I've uploaded here. You can also open that file in the Microsoft 3D builder, ungroup them and convert the parts or partgroups you want to print to .stls. Regarding my files: I included the file "Bridgelayer" which shows how everything should fit together (and also which parts are from Vontragg and which from me in different colors). The files "axis" and "plug" are intended as axis for the bridge, but only make sense if you have a printer that can produce a really smooth surface out of not to brittle plastic. Otherwise just use any 5-6 mm diameter plastic or metal rod (I did). I would recommend to leave "delivery system part 2" without fixation to part 1, so that you can easyly remove it. It turned out better this way in practical tests to avoid breaking anything when deploying the bridge. "Funktion simlified" and the pictures show how everything should work (it does for my print). So as a final note: if you want to do this what you really need are: Delivery System Part 1 Delivery System Part 2 Mounting 1 Mounting 2 Bridge Part 1 Bridge Part 2 + a metal or plastic rod with ~ 5mm diameter.
