SU-76M Self-propelled Gun Breakdown - 15mm Remix

thingiverse

Remix of a remix of m_bergman's outstanding SU-76M model. The remix had separated the tracks, which I liked, as I prefer to print them at a lower quality for speed but the sizing had been reduced by an enormous amount and needed rescaling back up to 1:100. I experimented with various angles/supports in Cura/Meshmixer but kept finding that the barrel supports weren't optimal. As such, I have cut it off and ran the test print shown in the photo at 0.12 layer height with the hull pointing forward at around 30 degrees with Cura supports from the base plate only. The barrel was printed at 0.08 and the tracks at 0.2 for speed. The photo shows the model glued together with a quick base coat, but a primer would fill in the lines better. Actually, it makes sense now to have a peg-like insert for the barrel to slide into the hull so I might add that soon.
