Tank shaped z-axis motor visualizer for Prusa Mini+

prusaprinters

<p>This is a tank shaped z-axis motor visualizer for Prusa Mini+ with an &nbsp;articulate turret.<br>My Prusa Mini looked like a tank after the base upgrade, so I thought it would be cool to add a battle tank visualizer.&nbsp;</p><p>This base design is from thingiverse here:</p><p>https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:<a href="tel:1755149">1755149</a></p><p>I resized it to fit the Prusa mini z-axis and modified it so that the turret can rotate freely.</p><p>I printed it with same orientation as in the stl file with no supports at 0.2 mm layer height.</p><p>The material is Overture's grey PLA.</p><p>Assembly instructions:</p><p>The turret gun just snaps in to the turret and you can adjust it's angle.</p><p>I used some hot glue to add a small magnet to the base of the turret.</p><p>There is no need to stick the tank body to the z-axis motor, but you can use some very thin two sided tape if you like.</p><p>I just positioned the base over the z-axis motor and just slid in the turret assembly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Watch it in action here:</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq6UfAVOGM8"></oembed></figure><p>and here:</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojwdqt1aEMM"></oembed></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
