@@ivanmirandawastaken After years of skidy skidy belts, why havent you yet decided to attach or spray rubber on the belts? Is there a different purpose for not doing that? 🤔 How about using TPE or some rubbery filament, will it work?
Damn. I'm sure everyone sees you as this energetic guy that makes cool stuff, but let us take a minute to appreciate the genius behind some of your designs such as the link system that locks the little piece of filament in place. So simple but coming up with such a system and making it work right away ain't so simple!
And on a personal note I'd run it backwards so it looks more like an old unimog cab over look but that's purely a cosmetic thing and a personal choice... although track kleets might be a nice addition?!?!
"Honey I shrank the tank!" came to mind :D. Really enjoyed this continuation of the tank series. A great way to use any left over electronics or repurpose a broken RC toy. Would be nice to see you do a build using only one spool for those who are eco minded. Thanks for giving us more of your laugher and spacers call out.
I do sit down and think "what should i print next?" Its the often helmet or movie prop But I've never sat down and thought "IM GONNA BUILT A TANK" This is why i live the vids man keep it up 👌🏼
Am I the only one that thinks if he simply added teeth or tire style grooves to the tracks it would have far more grip? Think something like paddle tires, or the texturing of an ACTUAL tank tread. Alongside that maybe an increase in weight would also add grip at the cost of speed. Otherwise phenomenal build, the way the drive sprockets mate on a singular output shaft is something I'll need to start using!
@@ivanmirandawastaken thanks man! It certainly is huge! I can have a taste now of what it would be to own such a large printer like you do, just the taste xD
Гусеницы получились гладкие,надо с зацепом сделать,как у настоящих танков или бульдозеров,тогда не будет проскальзывать,а так клевая задумка получилась😎👍
Bearings run best in pairs. Normal Ball-bearings can't support torque loads, that's why your shaft with the drive sprockets was wiggling like that. Better to use 2 on one shaft
Initially, I'm like, "well, this is quite the contemptible fellow... but that whole, "Spacer!!" routine is totally redeeming (your fraudulence notwithstanding)... it also really illuminates the extreme violence stirring in your soul. Kudos, "Ivan".
I'm impressed that your gears hold on the Axel's so well. I built a 3D printed gun that used spinning disks to launch 9mm pellets (also printed) and the disks would get shocked on launch and move a bit which created heat which caused the hole to get slightly larger each round fired until it just spun freely.
try printing 4 layers of TPU then switch to PLAY at 240c and 15mm/s for the interface layer then ramp up to 50mm/s and slowly bring the temp down a bit to 220c to print the treads. this way you get dimensionally accurate treads of PLA but "tpu feet" for traction.
I'm glad to see you've started selling some designs! While I can't buy the mini tank yet, it definitely looks like a fantastic kit that I look forward to buying. It's like upgraded LEGO!
You should stick some plastic to the tracks to increase traction. For the big tank i think you can install a simple transmission in order to reduce the burden on top of the electric motors.
I've been having a lot of fun building this tank. Thanks for sharing the design. But if I could make a couple of suggestions based on my experience: - a wiring diagram in the documentation would be nice. Just a simple one that shows the motors connect to the ESCs and then to the same battery. One to channel 2 another to channel 3 on the receiver. - you need to use 2 counter clock wise motors. Luckily I bought 2 of each.
Clever way to put track chains together, but there would install some rubber to surface of that or even print those from soft TPU Then it can climp much higher and moves accurate and with lesser noice in smooth surfaces like inside
try adding an exposed C channel in which you insert some flexible filament on the threads. maybe even on only the black ones it might provide enough grip.
Gosh that could be any assortment of things. A taxi, a train, a trolly. A tobaggan. A trawler or a truck. A thresher. A tractor. Tricycle or a tugboat. :D
Schöne Idee nur leider fehlt deinem Tank zwei ganz wichtige Sachen☝️: 1. Eine griffige Kette - entweder mit Gumiklötzen oder mit Krallen. 2. Eine Laufrollenfederung die für bessere Bodenhaftung sorgt. Aber so ist das echt Funcky👍👍👍
I think, if you added rubber grips to the tank treads, it would have better traction on the ground. But problems could arise like difficulty turning and having to redesign the entire tank treads, but if done correctly, it should work.
Maybe you can print these black parts in the chain from flexible TPU and make them a bit protrude from the chain, then the adhesion will be a bit better to climb up the hill?
Watching your tank videos made me realise how important it is to build extra big versions, before attempting a miniature one! 😆 And please, if you can, try adding a nerf blaster or something like that on it, for the real tank vibes...😅
Idea for the treads: three-part tread segments. The main frame of each segment has a rectangular hole in the center to accommodate a rubber or similar material designed to provide traction on smooth surfaces on one side. On the other side, a bolt or similar technique to hold the adhesive part in place so that is does not come off of the tread. If you had an entire tread with that design, you would see a great increase in traction and acceleration on smoother surfaces. Cheers!
Awesome, add small holes, not throughholes into the track for o-ring material. The stuff you make our own o-rings out of. Should help with the traction
Instead of using different filament you could have holes in the black track pieces and put some rubber "feet" on it. Like the ones that you can bye for keeping your appliances stable.
I wonder if you could just paint the outside of the tracks with a rubberised paint? It’d be quick to apply and allows you to keep the strength of the existing tracks.
Really cool project! I like that you make many different versions but I don't know I would call it mini. Might make something even smaller myself. Keep your amazing projects coming.
You really should tackle a tank with some suspension for the road wheels so it could actually work on uneven terrain. A torsion bar suspension would be basically fully 3D printable too, as it doesn't use any springs at all, instead relying on the twist of the bars.
You should consider some sort of rubber coating of the track, would improve traction on hard surfaces. Can be done quite easily now with "sprayable liquid rubber", after some curing you get a nice grippy surface.
avi compression is obsolete, so the big tank after Matroska compression became minitank mkv! Hi Ivan next improvemente a rubber strip on the tracks so you can climb walls! Stay healty and don't give up!
@Ivan Miranda you should try putting something on top instead of only a cover, maybe a loading attachment or live camera feed with a sweet cannon like @RCLifeon.. But never forget the.. S P A C E R S !
I've made the RC speedtank from Thingyverse a while ago, it is quite similar in size and speed. I like that you have all gears inside the vehicle, the speedtank doesn't so sand can get in the gears that are on the outside (they are pretty well covered, but still). Keep up the good work! Love your creativity and guts to make things like the giant tank.
Dont make treads out of tpu or flexible filaments. I've tried to print wheels out of them in the past and they don't have that much extra grip when compared to PLA or ABS (because even tpu or PLA flex have a highish shore hardness value) What you really need is silicone pads moulded onto a printed track. I've been playing around with a method that uses the bathroom silicone you can get from a hardware store. Its fairly cheap, and makes super grippy tires so it would work super well on tracks
Wow that's a real cool tank, I'd recommend looking at the Ardupilot boards and environment(autopilot system basically). I think it would be awesome on projects like this. Nice work Ivan
It’s not a failure, it’s a safety feature. My new favorite saying.

Love the new track pin design 👌🏻
Yes! Game changer! Thanks Chris!
But how are you pulling the pin out once you've pushed it down. There's not a lot to pull on if you refer to your cad model
@@A3dprintedman it looks like it could be pushed out from the opposite side.
I kind of wonder if that design could be scaled up for metal tracks using heavy cable with bonded ends.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING
When the apocalypse comes and the remnants of humanity is forced to live in uderground bunkers, Ivan will still be making 3D printed tanks.
NOBODY IS SHOUTING HERE
Girlfriend: "I need some space"
*Boyfriend holds spacer inbetween them*
Boyfriend: "SPACER!!"
good damn that made me laugh way to hard haha.
What about the spacer all the time? I don't get it.
👌❤
That is one way to get yourself fast tracked to a new .space domain 😁
I LOVED THIS PROJECT
I think you are beating a dead horse with all these tanks
You could probably spray them with plasti-dip or some equipment rubberized spray to make them more grippy.
Or maybe printing them with a stiffer TPU?
Or just glue some thin rubber pads to the tracks, that or sandpaper, sandpaper might work.
Or print a flex track that's a bit smaller then the track he made for this and put it over the plastic track.
Why bothering. Put some rubberbands on, done.
What's not to love about a guy who likes his spacers?
SPACERS!
*A R A N D E L A S*
I am a simple man.. I see a crazy Spanish Maker with sparkling enthusiasm and I click like within the first 5 seconds.
It's impossible to watch you and not smile. You are truly enthusiastic.
It's impossible to watch you and not be amazed. You are truly talented.
The passion and creativity behind not only these projects but the videos themselves on a whole other level
Absolutely amazing work, underrated channel
I was just thinking to myself: Ivan is a bit short on tanks, I reckon he needs another one or bad things will happen.
maybe a midi tank ( not m.i.d.i. please)Lol
this channel definetly lacks tanks
iNav + crossfire + long range fpv = more fun then one man should have with a rc tank!
🥃cheers🍻
And on a personal note I'd run it backwards so it looks more like an old unimog cab over look but that's purely a cosmetic thing and a personal choice... although track kleets might be a nice addition?!?!
I want to see a better tank build from scratch like this from the 128 people that disliked it.
Ain't gonna happen 😂
Love your videos, love the work you do. Thanks for putting them out.
My pleasure!

try adding an exposed C channel in which you insert some flexible filament on the threads. maybe even on only the black ones it might provide enough grip.
Mettez des bandes caoutchouc sur les chenilles pour l adhérence😉
Ok, you get 2 comments today. Loved the mini tank and find myself wondering what's next? Tank shoes? :>

I think, if you added rubber grips to the tank treads, it would have better traction on the ground. But problems could arise like difficulty turning and having to redesign the entire tank treads, but if done correctly, it should work.
You could glue some patches of sand paper to the treads for traction.
That captive pin design is inspired, bravo 👏

All the experts advise that. Make it supersized first.
nice and creative build but if i thought it would be better visual contrast to have a complete black tank tread. Excellent build after all!
I don't know why this was in my recomended, I didnt ask for it, but I am glad it was
The filament tread links are absolutely genius.
so many great design concepts in here

I wonder if you could just paint the outside of the tracks with a rubberised paint? It’d be quick to apply and allows you to keep the strength of the existing tracks.
Amazing! Has anyone here built this and if so how much did you spend?
Maybe you could make like 1/3rd of the thread pices with flexible filament, that way you would gain traction but should still be able to drift.
Ooh man greaaaaaaat job , you have to do same now but in real steel , much heavier much better !!!!, because it is so light for a TANK
It looks like a bulldozer without a shovel in front 😂 nice build 🤙
A bit, yeah, thanks!

You may see that I skipped MkIV, it was smaller, too small...
@@ivanmirandawastaken But that's just because normal things are small from your point of view. This is the size of a regular rc car.
