T-90S | 1:72 PRO Series | Workable Tracks

T-90S | 1:72 PRO Series | Workable Tracks 🔥 ⚠️ PLEASE READ BEFORE PRINTING! IMPORTANT: This model is recommended for experienced 3D printing enthusiasts who have patience and are comfortable working with very small, delicate parts. This is NOT a beginner-friendly model. The 1:72 PRO Series is significantly more challenging to print and assemble than my previous 1:72 models, especially because of its tiny individual workable track links. If you're new to 3D printing or prefer quick and easy assembly, I strongly recommend starting with my regular 1:72 models instead. Please read all the information below before you decide to print! 😁   🔥 Introducing the 1:72 PRO Series! Hey everyone! 😁 Recently, I've received so much encouragement and support for my 1:72 scale tank models. Thank you all so much! ❤️ However, there's one thing I've never been completely satisfied with...   The tracks don't move!   I've always wanted to bring workable tracks to 1:72 scale, just like my larger 1:35 models. Honestly, this has been one of my biggest challenges. The track links are incredibly tiny, and getting them to connect properly while remaining movable is extremely difficult. After plenty of experimenting, I finally managed to make it happen! Welcome to the 1:72 PRO Series! 🔥   My goal is to push the level of detail and functionality even further at this tiny scale. But remember, PRO means more detail, more precision, and definitely more patience! This is still an experimental series, so occasional imperfections are possible. I'll continue improving the designs as I learn more.   🖨️ Printing Recommendations I've optimized the model for FDM printing, but dimensional accuracy is extremely important. Recommended: Well-calibrated CoreXY printers, such as the Bambu Lab P1S, X1 Series, or H2D. These are my preferred machines for achieving consistent results with tiny parts and tight tolerances.   A1 / A1 Mini Users: I don't recommend these printers for this particular project, especially the workable tracks. If you still want to try, be prepared to print small parts individually, test their fit, and spend extra time adjusting your results.   ⛓️ Workable Tracks – Please Read Carefully! The tracks are the most challenging part of this model. Each tiny link must connect correctly while remaining movable. Even a small dimensional difference can cause assembly problems. My recommendations: Use a well-calibrated CoreXY printer whenever possible. If using an A1 or A1 Mini, try printing individual links using Print by Object where appropriate. Print only a few links first and test how they connect. Check that the links move freely without being too tight or too loose. Once you're satisfied with the results, continue printing the remaining links. Please don't print the entire track set before testing! 😁 This process may take time, but patience is the key to getting workable tracks at such a small scale.   🔧 Assembly & Painting Some glue is required during assembly. However, be careful not to glue the movable track joints together! I recommend checking the fit of all parts before applying glue. Some details and decals on my finished model were painted or added manually. Feel free to customize your tank with your favorite colors, markings, and weathering!   🔧 Optional Track Assembly Tip If you're having trouble getting the tracks to rotate smoothly, you can use a pair of small cutting pliers to carefully trim off the teeth on the four front and rear wheels. This can help reduce resistance and make the tracks easier to move. Just be careful when cutting, and only do this if necessary, as the modification is permanent! 😁     🚀 Should I Continue the 1:72 PRO Series? This is something I'd really love to hear your thoughts about! Developing workable tracks at 1:72 scale takes a lot more time and experimentation than my regular models.  Boost MeBut if you enjoy this new direction and would like to see more tanks in the 1:72 PRO Series, please consider supporting this project with a Boost! ❤️🔥  ❤️ A huge thank you to everyone who has supported my 1:72 projects through downloads, prints, photos, comments, and Boosts. Your encouragement has pushed me to experiment with things I once thought were nearly impossible at this scale. The 1:72 PRO Series is still a work in progress, and I'm excited to keep improving it with your feedback. To everyone taking on this tiny challenge: be patient, enjoy the process, and have fun printing! 😁🔥
