Let's get tacti-cool - 3D Printed ELTV Mk1 Strike Tactical Crawler

[xjtorc]

YouMagine - ELTV Mk1 Strike by Elvis RC Studio

And if hard top isn't your thing...you can convert it to this beauty:

The build appears to be very similar to the Project IJ Jeep bodies in that they are expertly engineered and very easily printed and assembled. The big difference (which I am excited about) is that it has its own chassis which you print and assemble. As someone who enjoys the build more than anything else, this is an amazing time to be alive in our hobby. I don't think that fact is appreciated enough.

Filament has been ordered.

Will I do one of each?

I'm not fond of the open version, but the armored up version is killer!

That tractor was on my radar for a while!

I saw a new F1 car drop this morning from a different designer which looks absolutely sick too. I've never been into F1, at all...but dang this looks cool. Def not spending $70 on files, however.

Frame, skid, and bumpers are done. Printer and hex driver for scale…it also just doesn’t fit anywhere in my office other than the floor lol

Minor set back this morning while printing interior pieces: A clogged nozzle caused my print head to ejecto seato the cooling fan assembly. Should be back in action tonight with a fresh nozzle as long as nothing broke.

I'm not really into computers and such but I'm pretty sure this isn't how to use a scanner.

Watching this build too!

Printing away….

My goal is to put it on top of something different every time I snap an update pic. There’s no telling where it may end up…

The reality is it’s just too damn big…

 

[HPIguy]

So instead of elf on a shelf, it's Strike on a hike? LOL

i got filament on the way so stoked!! did you have to make any adjustments to the files or are the settings already pretty spot on? I'm still stuck on what color to do my body, not a lot of realestate on mine, any suggestions on an order? i was figuring id print it chasis out and assemble as i go, or would it be better to print out all the pieces and go from there?
i noticed on my chssis motor mount for instance, it calls for a 15% infill, weighing 24.6 grams
but this part is going to recieve constant stress, so i thought id jump it up to 100% jumping it up to 56.26g of weight and density right? or am i just going overboard?
