Designed to be printed with almost no supports! The model has been separated into multiple parts to ease painting and make for an enjoyable building experience. Each part that fit together have appropriate clearance, so a well calibrated printer is recommended, we’re past using Ender 3s now I think. The guns swivel! The tracks need a lot of tree supports, you could certainly split them in half lengthwise to make things easier but that would leave a seam in the middle that’s hard to get rid of. For this model I’d suggest a mix of both FDM and SLA, use filament for the main body and big pieces to ensure dimensional and symmetrical accuracy and resin for the tracks and smaller details. Best of both worlds! Some filler primer will get rid of the layers lines in no time! You can of course print it entirely with filament in different colors like I did! There are no instructions but those with some modeling experience should easily be able to figure it out. Alignment pins have been omitted, because I think they do more harm than good. These can be added manually for any mating parts you’d like in both Prusa and Bambu slicer. Put it together using regular ol’ super glue. The overall size is the same as it would be normally, no need to scale it unless you want mini variants or maybe a giant one.
