- In this video I go over my process for tweaking and printing my custom Tiger I fenders and wheel flanges on my Anycubic Photon. You can also buy these parts on Shapeways.com. My son Arthur was manhandling my camera earlier today, so there is a noticeable blurry spot on the lens during the wide shots. I'm sorry about that. It's cleaned for the next one.
special thanks to the mighty patrons

Awesome to see a video update from you. And I'm glad you're sorting out the missing hub.
I've been seriously considering buying one of those printers as I already have the software and experience to print some stuff, and since March I've probably spent $100 in various aftermarket accessories which is half the cost of a printer. Things like stowage, damaged/burned out roadwheels, corrected details, and of course tool clamps would be awesome to have more readily available.
The MJ tool clamps will arrive here maybe Tuesday so I'll give my thoughts on those...probably a review video. I know you're curious about them.
You should get one, it's stupid easy. I very much want to see the MJ review. Glad to be back for a minute. Also if you get one we can pool our efforts.
@@AdamMann3D I'll stop ordering new kits online for a few months to save up some of my spending money.
Great to see you still working on tiger stuff Your attention to detail and accuracy are truly inspiring keep it up
Interesting how much know how and testing has to go into all of that to make it work, even if not in the most elegant way. I´m happy to see you make it all work and the results are impressive man. All the 3D constructions one has to do on the PC is exactly your profession so i am sure you will go far with that, which makes us all happy :)
Danke Michi. I hope I can streamline the printing process going forward so I don't have to do so many tests. But the idea that one can make whatever, whenever is game changing.
Absolutely! It opens up an entirely new facette of the hobby, where everything is possible.
I am SUPER EXCITED to stick in a Shapeways order for these :D
I will make a proper announcement when they are live.
@@AdamMann3D I could not find them there...
Incredible tech...going forward
Really interesting video....great to see you back . Well done Adam!!
It really is a new tech for modeling, it's pretty exciting.
@@AdamMann3D
Your passion for all things Tiger I
Is impressive 😊👍
Hi Adam. I was hopeing to see you back again. Nice you managed to find the time. I'm working on a vk3001p conversion atm. It took me a tapetop army or two for dealing with the supports. You can let your fenders grow avoiding zyllindrical supports, use a wedge shape instead and stand them upright with 0,02 mm layer hight. (I use a Photon S, it is bit more firm in its z axis.
Hey Tankbrusher, I've been watching your stuff a lot lately. Good to see you here. I'm not really understanding what you mean by wedge shape support. Is this just another option in Chitubox/Workshop or is it something else? I can be a little thick sometimes so can you show me something that demonstrates this?
@@AdamMann3D Chitubox Supports are helpful but they don't know your part, so the can't aid you in every case. Design the support as part of your component instead, directly in your CAD/CAM equivalent. The Fender, in its cross section together with the Support looks like a T - felder perpenticular to the print bed. the transition area of your horizontal area (= Base/Support) has the shape of a wedge leading into your fender. creating a line support instead of a spot. Design it weaker than your fender and you create a predetermined breaking point/line that can easly be cleaned off. I'll demonstrate it in one of my next vids, for the top lid of my turret simulation weight. Thanks to your videos, I'll go full nuts on Tiger development for the rest of the year ; )
@@AdamMann3D sry, for doubleposting - you can contact me via my about page, i can run some benchmark prints on that part with different custom supports, I've time to babysit the printer over the next week.
Hey there Adam. Nice to see an update of you. Btw wouldnt it be time again to do a "what is the best Tiger kit" video update with all the Academy, Rye Field, Trumpeter, Dragon kits coming to the market since your last video of this kind
Amazing how this technology is opening up this sort of avenue
haha wtf dude!! love to see you back and doing something out of the world111111
Glad to be seen. Yeah it's pretty interesting making your own kit parts.
Very cool. Did you ever try a vertical print of the fenders?
No, it's on my list of prints to throw on the thing.
Awesome video. You should sell the files ready to print and the parts themselves printed. I would love to have parts like this for disassembled tanks getting repairs/maintenance. Damaged wheels and other parts would also be awesome.
Hi Adam
Purchased your file for the Early Tiger tracks and they printed a treat...do you have any other files to buy for the Tiger ? Apart from which is on Slap Ferret.
I do. I have the transport fenders and wheels with flange for early transport. Just haven't uploaded them. I will try to get to it asap. Anything you're looking for?
Hi Adam, great video and congrats for you first succesful tries with the printer. I am myself considering to buy one yet I am still unsere whether Elegoo Mars pro or Photon S, due to the supposed improvement of the dual Z-rail but I dont find anyone doing parts like our modelling parts having tested both solutions and confirming any worthy improvement with the expensive one. I am in the meantime swallowing every bit of information about the process, and I am wondering if you have considered instead of a almost horizontal angle, to go for a almost vertical one with your mudguards. I see you point about the holes in the hub not being feasible till you put them axis almost horizontal. Pretty sure the reason is the printer having the 0,047 resolution in XY but up to 0,01 in vertical, it is to me tecnically logical the detail appears in the Z direction thanks to the better resolution. I thought also the fender would benefit from supporting itself while it grows, reducing the number of needed supports.
I am sure erich aders is very proud
I'm afraid I don't know who that is.
Is there any site that sell 3D printer files like this?
Not that i know of. I sell my track link. Is there a part you need?
@@AdamMann3D No, not really. But I want to try justify the action I am about to pull the trigger for: buying a 3D printer. I know how to do basic things in CAD so knowing that I can buy complex things when I need them would be just awesome. Anyway, thanks a bunch for all your work on youtube. Keep it up and hope you will grow more and more!
@@AdamMann3D Love, love, love your videos. I hope there would be more and more of them!
I've been wanting to get a 3d printer but have no idea how to use one or make my own stuff like that which is the only reason I would ever get one
Sorry but to me the hubs are not perfectly round..they apper to be much less “quality” than the plastic parts. But maybe it will change after the primer..
Are you referring to the white shapeways parts or mine? Because mine are wonky but the shapeways versions are very good. And so you know there is a bit cut off the ends so that wheels can be removed past them, so only half of them are actually proper circles.
Hi there Adam. I would like to be able to contact you either through this or through email. Anyways, I ordered the dragon tiger 1 late with zim. And upon inspecting it, it didn't come with instructions!! I got it from a seller on ebay. Anyways, I'm still waiting on getting word back from him. But seeing that i don't have the instrustions I was wondering if you may have a spar one on hand that I could potentially have or buy from you. Im totally alright with buying the instrustions. If not I understand.
I'll only ever built 6383, is that the kit number? I could easily take high res images and email them or soemthing. I have found instructions online before. What is the kit number?
@@AdamMann3D hey Adam thank you very much for getting back with me. The kit number does happen to be 6383. I tried looking at some websites but the images weren't that great. If you could provide me with the instrustions that would be awesome my friend. Oh and P.S, I'm helous of the panther track you have haha.
@@AdamMann3D hey adam. I know it's pretty late. But I just realized that u joined a panzer group on Facebook that you're a part of haha. That is pretty awesome. Anyways, I look forward to hearing from you. And if you can help me in anyway with my missing instrustions it'd be greatly appreciated.
Something I've been doing is modelling the supports into the model itself, much more controllable and in fusion 360 Ive been using a long wedge instead of pillers. Hope this helps
Yeah, on the wheel flanges that was all done in 3ds Max, not well but quickly just to see where the problems would be. But I 100% agree that is a better way to go about it. That is what I will end up doing going forward.
"3DPrintingPro" has some chitubox tutorials on generating supports that are really good.
I have watched his videos. The issue I'm having is most 3d print guys print figures and more stable things. I am doing these thin mechanical prints, so the support system seems to require a different method for me.
Dude, where did you get that amazing cutting mat? I wasted a lot of time but can't find.
That is made by a company called Tankcraft out of Florida. I'm waiting to get the Tiger mat later this year.
@@AdamMann3D huge thanks. Super cool stuff :)
As a long time 3d modeler myself I appreciate your printed parts. But I can't help thinking the metal fenders are best replicated in metal.
How is your Dragon Scharnhorst going?
Very very slowly.
@@AdamMann3D which parts of the Scharnhorst needs replacing?
@@nakitaluckysibih5581 so far only one small gun position that I lost. But they are ultra tiny, so likely not 3d printable.
@@AdamMann3D ok, can't wait to see the complete model!
I hope you will find the piece for that small gun position
Hi, I know your pain, I'm doing a 1/72 high detail model of a King Tiger, totally 3D printed, my first fenders where so thin they where like wet paper, same with the skirts lol. If you don't mind me asking where did you get your perfect model of the Tiger 1? (Never mind just heard you say you made it yourself), I have spent (over a few years) months real time modelling my KT & I have to trade off detail for print ability all the time, I mainly modelled my original on a Dragon 1/35 kit so I have probably copied errors Dragon made, I have only been able to print my model out a few months as I'm a proud owner of a Prusa SL1. It's been out of action for just over a month as it broke down, but with Prusa Tec supports help & several brand new parts sent to me Free, I got it all back working last night, so I can get back to getting things like toe hooks on the turret to print out more consistently, there just on the verge of being too small, they print sometimes & not others, so it's trial & error, thicken them up a little & next time I print a turret out see if I have thickened them enough lol. Sorry I'm rambling, but I do love this 😄
Yeah I built the 3d Tiger for my portfolio, it comes in quite handy. There is a reveal video on the channel. Trying to print a 72nd scale model would sure be a challenge. You should do some videos on it.
@@AdamMann3D I may do a UA-cam video of it, eventually, time is one of the commodities I never seem to have any of lol. I had planned to start at 1/72, move up to some of the wargaming scales & possibly end up with some parts at 1/16 to update my RC King Tiger. I have a few different scales of most of the parts, I in my youth modeled lots of nuts & bolts, unfortunately due to various disk crashes etc I have lost Loads of the build files, but luckily I had sence enough to backup the main parts of the built models, although I lost all my tools & I cant tell you how many hours I spent modelling the toe cables but unfortunately I lost all thouse too, still I know next time how to get a decent cable when i finally get around to doing it again, although at 1/72 most of my detail is lost unless i exagerate it & cut V shapes where the panels join. At one point i was concidering modeling Zimerit on but like a lot of things when it came to it I decided against wasting all the time on something that wouldn't be seen at the 1/72 unless it was exaggerated.
