Great work Niels,

 

I noticed you run on asphalt. Would love to see your tank run in grass. 

Also, could you take a picture of your tracks after your running? Those donuts 
turns are hard on plastic. Is this PLA or other polycarbonates?

 

Your tank looks awesome

 

Cheers from Utah,

Loic

 What are you printing, Loic? My Locust survived a two-day event using 
 3D printed idlers and TTS sprockets. Both the idlers and sprockets took 
 hits with no visible damage. My mantlet was also 3D printed and took a LOT 
 of hits over the weekend. It had a layer of fiberglass reinforcement on 
 it, 
 but it didn't show any damage either.
  I believe that 3D printing has a lot of uses in RCTC, but there are 
 some things that it just isn't isn't suitable for. For example, I tried 3D 
 printing suspension units for my Locust. (there are some pics in a past 
 thread) Initial results looked promising, but long term durability just 
 wasn't there. The constant stress of a 50lb. tank on the printed parts 
 eventually broke many of the suspension units. 
   On the flip side there are some cool capabilities that these printers 
 put forth. The illustration I'll use for this point is my Locust turret. 
 For one thing, the Locust is a small tank, but it's turret is equally 
 small. (about 8.5in in dia. plus the little storage area in the back)  To 
 get a nice accurate turret without the inside being bulky I designed the 
 turret on a CAD program and then printed it in three pieces. After gluing 
 the pieces together I fiberglassed it. This gave me a nice durable turret 
 that didn't waste the limited internal space available.

What are you printing, Loic? My Locust survived a two-day event using 3D 
printed idlers and TTS sprockets. Both the idlers and sprockets took hits 
with no visible damage. My mantlet was also 3D printed and took a LOT of 
hits over the weekend. It had a layer of fiberglass reinforcement on it, 
but it didn't show any damage either.
 I believe that 3D printing has a lot of uses in RCTC, but there are some 
things that it just isn't isn't suitable for. For example, I tried 3D 
printing suspension units for my Locust. (there are some pics in a past 
thread) Initial results looked promising, but long term durability just 
wasn't there. The constant stress of a 50lb. tank on the printed parts 
eventually broke many of the suspension units. 
  On the flip side there are some cool capabilities that these printers put 
forth. The illustration I'll use for this point is my Locust turret. For 
one thing, the Locust is a small tank, but it's turret is equally small. 
(about 8.5in in dia. plus the little storage area in the back)  To get a 
nice accurate turret without the inside being bulky I designed the turret 
on a CAD program and then printed it in three pieces. After gluing the 
pieces together I fiberglassed it. This gave me a nice durable turret that 
didn't waste the limited internal space available.

RE: [TANKS] Re: Centurion mrk5

2016-10-24 Thread Loic 
I agree that this tank looks GORGEOUS!

 

And the concept of 3D printing application to the RC large scale vehicle is 
enticing

 

However, I will follow the advice of the “old timers” of RC Tank Combat, the 
Pitelli “clan”, Professor Sommers, or Tyng Tech prodigy: It’s all in the 
‘donut’ turns on grass!

 

This is not the beautiful RC Tanks that I commission-build for customers which 
can pass this test. RC Tank Combat is the next step up in engineering and 
ingenuity to survive the Gettysburg test for 2 days in a row…

I’m impatiently waiting your trial runs

 

 

I would also be “pained” to shoot such a beautiful vehicle!

BTW, did you test the .68cal paintball hits on 3D printed parts? I have a 3D 
printer using ABS filament, and I don’t think it could take a point-blank hit.

 

Cheers,

Loic
