3D PRINTING SETTINGS

Printed with 0.2mm nozzle, 0.3 and 0.4 can also be used with 0.2mm layer height

IMPORTANT!!!
225mm height – is required printing area if you have 180×180 because of enormous size of turret. And the only way to print it – to rotate vertically.

~/hull/alternative_bottom folder contains alternative variant that can be printed more easier with almost no post processing, but build is more complicated.

ALSO IMPORTANT:
1. Track links are super tiny an it’s easy to break it, be carefull. No information regarding how can it be printed with 0.4mm nozzle
2. Upper hull sections have special teeth for side protectors, and it needs to be printed with support, check it before you started to print it.
