Zeeteyfel the tracked submarine

thingiverse

German engineers were able to create a number of interesting mini-submarine projects. One of them was a kind of crossing a submarine with a tank. This very interesting example was the ultra-small amphibious submarine “Seeteufel” (translated from German as “monkfish”) with a caterpillar mover. This boat was intended both for independent carrying out torpedo attacks and for delivering small groups of swimmers-saboteurs to the target of the attack. Seeteufel was a rather unusual, even amazing, development. This “pocket” submarine was supposed to feel at home on the water surface, under water, and on land. This combat apparatus, as if descended from the pages of books by the famous science fiction writer Jules Verne. This boat attracted special attention and sympathy from the sabotage detachment “K” specially created in the German fleet. Members of this squad are accustomed to evaluate military equipment from the point of view of its combat use behind the front line of the enemy, so they could not but like this machine. The 3d model is made specificly for 3d printing with details strong enough for easy printing. Hulls of the submarine may be glued together or left as they are easily separatable to show the interior. There are seats, dashboard with steering wheel, stairs and a mock up ICE inside. Single piece STL file for 3d printing is downloadable here. You can download a hi-rez version of this file for free from my site. There are also STL files for various hull-forms of this same submarine for R/C builders, which are also free to download at the link below. https://www.endtas.com <-- visit to download more submarines and other designs . There is also a multi-piece easy printable STL package, specificly optimized for 3d printing to enable you obtain a better result with opening top cover, entry hatch, separate moveable tracks, torpidos and rotating propellers. You can dowload that package from my site also. Thank you for your support.
