Title: Vickers Medium Mk.III (revisited)
Post by: Fitz on April 06, 2020, 10:57:33 PM
I've been redesigning my old 1:100 (15mm) model of the Vickers Medium Mk.III to make it suitable for home FDM 3d printing. This is a job that I've been putting off for quite a while, mainly because I don't personally have a need for the physical model any more, so it hasn't been a very high priority for me.

Unfortunately, wargaming3d.com (https://www.wargaming3d.com/vendor/mojobob-hoochyman/) (where I put my STL files up for sale) is having issues at the moment, and I can't add any new products to my catalogue. Hopefully the problems will be resolved soon, but until then it will have to remain accessible to me alone.

Nice bits of details. Such an ugly duckling though!

But absolutely brilliant for a VBCW,  cracking bit of kit. Will this go on site that prints them for sale Fitz?

Yes. Sliced in Cura using its tree supports, printed sitting on its tracks on a raft.

With a bit of ducking and diving I've finally managed to upload the STLs for this model to Wargaming3d.com.

They can be had at https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/vickers-medium-mk-iii/ (https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/vickers-medium-mk-iii/)
