The most likely reason for this hobby becoming so sparse is not lack of interest,but availability and expertise. Implementation of simple pre-designed Lego like parts that are easily printed and assembled into a variety of vehicle designs may bring this amazing hobby back into the light. Cost reduction and simplification of assembly should be priorities to this end. The use of Fused Deposition Manufacturing [FDM] integrating ready available sub-assemblies to create drive units and actuators is becoming more readily available. These larger sub-assemblies have highly reduced cost,as well as near infinite compatibility with existing models. Drive units,suspension modules, turret slewing and elevation systems as well as brackets,ammunition feed systems and exterior cosmetics can all be printed using this hybrid technique. Below you can find a summery of my ongoing preliminary investigation into the use of such hybrid manufacturing for my own future model of an STRV 103 series,with the intent of increasing performance and decreasing both complexity and cost through the use of such hybrid sub-assemblies as well as 3rd party research and improvements in this and other hobbies in regards to design,construction,drive systems and accuracy improvements in CO2 and HPA markers. Feedback on first hand experience is welcome.
