The famous cartoon American Ratte tank
Description
This is the famous American "The Steel Monster" Ratte tank from cartoon series by @Gerand. I've printed with 0,4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layer, PETG. I've tried to prepare parts for printing, but you shoud pay attention to orientation and spacing. Some parts don't have a pair (left or right). Use your 3D-software or slicer to make a mirrored part. Change infill responsibly. It should be higher (maybe 25-30%) for middle part and sides, and even higher (up to 100%) for back gun, but could be lower (15%) for tracks, front and back. Use supports responsibly. Many parts need supports. Use super glue responsibly to fix parts that may come loose and parts that meant to be glued (plow upper parts, for example) Use twine (2 mm) to create reinforced part. In case you need operational headlight, keep in mind that openings are for 7x7 mm push button with 5 mm led (both savaged from slingshot helicopter) and two LR44 batteries. Use pins to snap tracks to sides and snap plow to the chassis. For the main tower first rotate gun mask 180 degrees and push in into front armor plate from the back until clicks, then rotate it 180 degrees again. Complete assembly by inserting main gun into the mask and pushing assembly into the main tower. Use 3D-pen to complete flag. Fill in the base (red) with white stripes and blue corner. Then push completed flag into the side part. Print star parts using spiral/vase mode. Press them together with adjustable pilers of something like that. Use filament cuts to imitate rivets and small guns. Use longer cuts to fix back armor plate of the main tower. To make things easier, take long fragment, insert into the hole, cut to desired length, repeat.
