Mk.V (Okapi) A.M.V.P. fictional armored vehicle

This is the A.M.V.P. Mk.V (code name Okapi). This cutting-edge vehicle boasts a revolutionary redesign, offering an effortless snap-together fit without the need for glue. I conceptualized it in Tinkercad and successfully printed it with PLA plastic on a state-of-the-art Makerbot 5th generation printer. The optimized settings were: temperature at 275 degrees, extruder speed of 90 mm per second, infill at 10%, and layer height of 0.2 mm. Two shells ensured stability. To assemble the main body of this futuristic vehicle, utilize the flat H-shaped clip to tightly secure the two hull halves together. The axles twist-lock seamlessly into the wheels, while the long clips snap snugly onto the bottom of the hull, securing the wheels and axles. These clips fit only in one direction, adhering to the hull's shape. The large turret is secured to the back of the vehicle using a rod with a hatch on the end: when the small square extrusion on the hatch is oriented sideways (either direction), the rod will slide through the top of the turret and the hull. To lock the turret in place, rotate the hatch, orienting the extrusion towards the back of the vehicle. Completing assembly of the main turret involves pushing the barrel or extra gun mount into the space at the front of the turret (it's easiest to point the barrel straight up and push down). Assembling the smaller, secondary turret requires fitting the small T-shaped pin through the base of the turret with the large flat end facing upward, then inserting the small gun into the turret slot. To secure the secondary turret to the front of the vehicle, fit the pin into the provided hole (with the turret oriented sideways to the vehicle), and then turn the hull assembly forward to secure it firmly. Although this design is intended for straightforward assembly off the printer bed, with lower resolution printing, some filing and sanding may enhance the articulation of moving parts. This A.M.V.P. Mk.V boasts impressive features such as snap-together assembly, rolling wheels, rotating turrets, multiple elevating gun mounts, and secondary turret options available in print. I hope you thoroughly enjoy playing with this innovative model just as much as I have!
