Full 3D printed RC tank at Panzermuseum East.
A member has printed this really good looking Cromwell out of both FDM and resin print.
He has done a really good job with this build, so I hope you enjoy this video.
Très belle réalisation, toutes mes félicitations. 👍👍👍
Merci beaucoup 😊
Absolutely just cool. How would you say those 3d printed tracks compare to regular plastic tracks and also to metal tracks? I have a few tanks that are mixed between metal and plastic tracks and with the metal I feel like I have to keep upgraded stuff to keep the tank strong. My leopard just has a steel gearbox and it does almost as well as the metal tracked tanks but lasts longer since its lighter. I'd like to see if stronger plastic tracks exist.
@@keith91z28 the 3D printed tracks holds just fine, as they have some flex in them.
But the molded plastic tracks are stronger, maybe not by much.
Yes the metal ones are rough against the hole chassis, but they give the lower end more weight and a lower CG point, which is good for more realistic driving
Hello! First of: Great job with the cromwell, it's looking amazing!
If I may pick your brain a bit... I'm making a 3d printed cromwell as well in 1/10 scale. Do you also have frequent thrown tracks when performing pivot turns or rolling on grass? Mine keeps throwing tracks as soon as I turn a bit too hard.
Do you use the slack track as the real tank, or do you tighten it fully like in the comet? Also, is your front idler wheel articulated to give/take slack when the front roadwheel moves, or is it fixed like in the real tank?
Hello, thank you very much
The 1:16 scale is a lot lighter on the tracks, and we are having no issues with thrown tracks.
The tracks are resin printed and it works very well.
I would say that the tracks are set with a bit of slack.
The files for this print are from Warprints.xyz, they have a complete assamble manual, and you can go to their website and see how everything works on this Cromwell.
The idler wheels are adjustable via a belt system.
If you go to page 29 in the assamble manual and forward, you can see exactly how it works.
I hope this helped you to get closer to a better result on your Cromwell
Looks amazing. How are the tracks made?
The tracks are 3D printed in resin, and assembled with small metal pins
