Tank Farm (wargaming widgets)

thingiverse

The components for a 28mm wargaming terrain chemical processing site come in the form of tanks, stands, and a mechanical piece. Each component is designed to be plug and play, with the mixer/splitter allowing for up to five inputs or one output. The file all.stil includes all the necessary parts for one of the 60mm tanks, making it easy to multiply them using your print tool, such as Cura, and produce a large quantity quickly. In my own construction, I used a wooden dowel for the largest tank to avoid waiting for a tall print, but you can also use the included 120mm barrel. No supports are needed for this print, as each component has been carefully designed with assembly in mind. The end caps do have concave undersides, but they come equipped with little popcorn supports that can be easily removed with your fingernail. For more information on the design and construction of these models and the tank farm piece, please visit my blog post at http://www.rocketshipgames.com/blogs/tjkopena/2016/05/medea-refinery-wip-part-5/. Print settings for this project include using an LulzBot Mini printer with high resolution and default infill. Rafts and supports are not needed, making the printing process straightforward.
