• BIG TANK
I finally got back to the big tank project! This was more fun than I even remembered.
Many of you may remember that the tank had a clamshell style cover, and it seemed like a good idea to me at the time but it had two 30 Kg gas cylinders to help with the lifting and those pushed the lid forward constantly when the lid was closed. That shifted the cover forward and bent the back of the frame, a couple of the hinges also broke. That paired with the fact that it was going to be impossible to fit a turret on top (too heavy) and that it was incredibly disorienting (and uncomfortable) to ride the tank on my back made me discard the idea and start over.
The new seat is surprisingly comfortable (I've never designed a seat before) and it allows for the next modification to the driving of the tank, PEDALS!. Before getting to the pedals idea I revolved a lot around a complex driving wheel with buttons and levers but in the end, my feet where free and is super intuitive to control. In the video you may see that I put a couple of encoders on the pedals but those had pretty poor resolution and I had only 12 encoder counts for the entire travel of each speed so I ended up temporarily connecting linear potentiometers to the Arduino as an almost drop in replacement. I'll need to swap those for something more robust and most probably will add two on each pedal as a safety as this thing going hay wire doesn't sound safe. I also added a couple of 200 amp switches on the panel behind the seat that will in the future cut power to the batteries.
And as an inevitable modification I removed the three chain reduction gear that I previously mounted as it was extremely unreliable and kept broke, I broke chains, shafts, bolts.. everything in it was failing all the time. Since I made that video I've learned a lot and HTD 5M belts seem to be the most reliable and easy to design for solution so I went with that.
The turret and the cannon will be sitting in the flat spot on top where I've already left mounting holes.
As always I'm super thankful for your support and eager to read your comments. Thanks!!!

I was a tank commander in the US Army, and nothing was more comfortable than the M1 family of tanks and their reclining driver seat.
WAY more comfortable than the previous (M60A3) class of tank.
Also, I believe you're the only one who measures their 3D FDM prints in "tens of kilos"!
I was also on the M1, and M1A1. Totally agree. Best place to take a nap. Also, if you which to dutch oven your crew, best place to do a chemical attack. I can remember a few times during gunnery my crew was the "sensing tank" during Tank Table 8 at Ft. Polk. We had to traverse over the back so I could kick the driver's chair to wake him up. He had a hot mike and was snoring through the coms... DUH...
this project is incredible, well done Ivan! 👏😎
Thanks mate!!
Hey Marsgizmo!
@@iPrint3D hey hey :)
its sooo good
@@ivanmirandawastaken Hello Mr. Miranda, President Putin would like to have a talk with you...
Apparently, he lost a few tanks recently during a little "special operation" and he's looking for a quick way to build new ones for a low cost.
He also insisted that I tell you how much he likes to watch your channel!
Have a good day Mr. Miranda...
Absolutely love how you design with the expectation that you’re going to have to change it later! I’m sure all those removable pieces make life a lot easier :)
Tank building kit for big kids.
Thats called experience.
When is the next video?
I always knew you used a metric shitload of red filament, but it’s still insane seeing all of the raw spooled filament piled up. It really puts it into perspective how insane these projects are.
Turning gigantic spools of plastic string into magnificent works of engineering beauty! And also some SPACERS!
YES. SPACER!!
What point in the video can you see the spooled filament piled up ?
@@beccaclarebear @ 00:15
@@Reckless2O5 oh wow that's alot of filament
He had more filament off-camera.
I respect the dedication to one filament, no need to be fancy if one color always does the trick
I bet he wishes he had chosen olive green
Mind Blowing. I wish you had a second channel of content where you share your design process, techniques, etc! Thank you for the great stream of positive creativity! Do you have others that help you for design, printing, edited, etc ... or are you still a one-man show?
Folks! JOIN or help Ivan on Patreon ... he's worth it!
Still a one man show, hard to manage a second channel all by myself I guess. Thanks!
@@ivanmirandawastaken take on an intern! If you find the right person, it could be a great investment. You’ve obviously got more than 100x the normal creativity and the extra hands will multiply your amazingness!
Someday, I hope to have somebody look at me the way that the red filament salesman looks at Ivan.
😂
You should 3D print one of those "FlexArms" for tapping stuff.
yep
How great to see the big tank again! I love what you did with it - seat and foot pedals. I can't wait to see the turret AND outside testing...
There is no excuse for this man having only 282k subscribers, and zero excuse for only having 7k likes. TH-cam, I'm ashamed of y'all. Step up and pile on the likes! And subs!
You're my hero Ivan!
Cheers Daniel!
I'm absolutely blown away! From the design to the manufacture and the build, absolutely stunning.
I watch every video you upload! So very talented, brings a smile to me every time and inspires me every time! Thanks!
Your cable management is so satisfying
You should do a video on the logistics behind these videos - like a pallets of red filament. Would be fascinating to see.
The evolution of the tank from a mini to this over the years have been so cool
Love every single one of your videos!! So well done, and so much effort put into them!
Incredible project, Ivan. I always enjoy the entertainment factor in your videos :)
Finally going to get to see the tank finished! Yea!
Love how you include clear shots of the final build all fitting within the video margins!
This has got to be the coolest thing on TH-cam that I’ve ever seen. I’d love to have one set up for paintball
That's truly awesome! Thank you for your time.
I absolutely love your design work .You are a true inspiration to others. Brilliant work.
Every video you say "go and make something" and then the beautiful inspirational music plays, I'm moved to tears. Thanks for spreading the maker spirit, you are an absolute inspiration to me. To me your channel is by far the most authentic, you are just an average guy who likes to make things, who fails, tries again, until he succeeds. It's so easy to see myself in your videos, and to understand that truly anyone can achieve greatness by just starting to do things. So much love from Germany
amazing that you can make a 12 minute video, not get to the title bit until minute 7, and yet still have a satisfying conclusion everything you bring up.
Oh my god that breakaway spacer is GENIUS
Don't get me wrong, the whole project is incredible, but you have to appreciate the little things
I'm with you; the enormity of this project is staggering, the design choices are brilliant.... but the breakaway spacer was the cherry on the cake for me...
Mad & bonkers but always great to watch your designs evolve and so jealous of you being able to print such huge parts!😁
dude this thing is insane. i love the ingenuity
I'm in awe. Not only do you design and build the coolest stuff around, but your camera work and editing are as good as any, anywhere.
Amazing!
The tank is my favorite project that you have built! I can't wait to see how you make the turret and main gun!
It's a good day when Ivan uploads
This is amazing! Thank you for your help in a difficult time.
Awesome, I love the new updates!
wonderful project. This tank feels amazing to watch, keep it up bro
I have enjoyed this build series more than any other of your projects. Nice work.
That's awesome! I cant imagine printing for that long. I get nervous on an 8 hour print!
Aaaaand that's why you should follow me on twitter (I'm just guessing) twitter.com/adnarimnavi/status/1495670755044085766?s=20&t=mIgGDXdu5cJ4Gvmg5Yp89A
@@ivanmirandawastaken I dont have Twitter but I follow you on Instagram!
So you already saw... 😉
I know how you feel, which is why I've been designing so many small things over the years since I got my printer, the results are 'instant' compared to the multi-hour prints like this tank. My latest designs I uploaded are tiny TPU bungs that fill USB-C and Micro-USB sockets on drone flight controllers to stop debris getting in when you crash into the trees/bushes/ground, they only take 2 minutes each to print :)
@@ivanmirandawastaken Yessir!
Ivan you are making me excited again. Thank you.
I can just imagine playing some kind of real time strategy game and going to a building to click on "Build Miranda Tank - 1200 ISK" or something like that. Then a minute later hearing a soundbyte and shooting the baddies with it.
As usual, you never fail to impress. This thing is a beast! Seems to handle pretty smoothly. Can't wait to see it fully operational. I need to know your secret for getting such huge prints done so fast. My last print on my "normal" size printer was three smallish boxes about the size of pencil cases and it still took 30 hrs. Thanks for sharing!
Not only is this an awesome project, but its so cool to see all the other projects you have made come together to make parts for your tank! I also love the small details you leave in like the break away spacers and cutting a washer to hold a spring down. I feel like a learn a lot from the videos :)
amazed as always. supercool ever evolving project. also love your editing evolution and jump cut timing
That's very cool. As a small user of 3d printer, this is amazing. Thank you
Just incredible. Inspiring and fun to watch. What more can you want? Well done Ivan! This is awesome.
youtubers: build insane camera arm to move the cam
Ivan: build a tank to move around the cam
This is soo cool !
Just the sheer amount of filament used is already amazing.
That break away spacer was a really clever design!
SPACCCERS!!!!!!! You are amazing all the time. Thank You Ivan.
Really nice job with the wire management
Eres un maquina!Love your work 👊🏼
I have been watching you for a long time and you are certainly one of my favorite youtubers/makers.. But what baffles me is how you haven't more subscribers! If only more people could see your amazing work.. Keep it up I certainly get excited when I see you've posted a new video 💙
This so freaking amazing, can't wait for the next evolution!
Dude your projects blow me away!
The massive prints are insane!
Man each and every detail of this beast is a work of art 🤩
This video is full of smart, convenient little things. The way the springs are mounted, bearings are placed, breakaway spacers! Also that chair, if you add legs you can sell them as exclusive high end furniture xD Good to see the tank back, awesome video!
Thanks Jón!!
i was pleasantly surprised to see you working on it again.
Oh Mr. Miranda, Great bulk buyer of red filament, printer of spacers and exceeder of expectations, amazing video once again!
Seeing the sad news these days I would have thought we'd have seen enough of Ivans driving tanks. We can make a big exception for this Ivan tank though. It's looking great and well worth the long wait. Looking forward to seeing the finished tank. Thanks Ivan.
Thats the best 3D project i evver seen
Out of all your designs, I'm most envious of your huge 3D printers and CNC machines. That tank is looking awesome though!
The work of a true mad genius
I reeeeeaaaaalllly want to make your large format printer but I'm still learning the basics on my cr10s pro. Bed adhesion and z-axis setting... but once that's concurred, we'll have to race in our 3D printed tanks!😁
Awesome job as always!
¡Que maravilla Ivan!. El momento en el que te he visto moviendo la base del tanque con los pedales me ha dibujado una sonrisa en la cara. Me flipa como diseñas. Un saludo desde Málaga. 👍
Seriously good choices for your music, I usually don't notice but I was impressed!
YAY i love it when you upload stuff, always makes my day better
love the quality of the prints and being so big is more dificult. You are the master of giant prints.
Fantastic work, Ivan! It's just brilliant! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Please, don't stop!
"Zoe The Robot" approves of all of Ivan's videos. Ivan is a TRUE builder.
Great to see the tools you made put to use
Yes!!!
I knew those parts would build a seat, but did not expect that many SPACERS!!!!
SPACERS!
Well done ! 👏
This is incredible!
Size of those prints is amazing.
Most hacksaws have another set of pins for the blade so you can tilt it to 45 degrees. Really useful for the flush cuts you had to do in the chair segment.
The Tank is back! 😁💪👍
Yeah!!!
Dude this is awesome
awesome use of 3d printing. i need one of those huge print beds!
Put Tom Stanton's "not a rail gun" rail gun on it
I'll talk to him
This is 3d printing on another Level
Miranda ! You are one crazy dude ! Bravo !
This is the coolest project! I love seeing people make completely impractical, but fun, builds with 3D printing. I'm curious how much this weighs, and how much this costs to build in terms of material used. Keep up the great stuff!
I am constantly amazed at the engineering prowess you have. If you offer someone else to drive your tank, ensure that he or she is not a pilot, as you have the pedals reversed from that in an aircraft!
This is awesome Ivan. I wrote a textbook with lots of advice on how to design 3d prints to interface with other materials and great to see how your techniques mirror mine - except your tank is amazing, mine will only be about 60cm long!
que animal, increíble proyecto compañero !
i have waited a long time for this
i wanted that cannon when you frist mad the frame
i am so happy
Awesome!!
Eres un crack. Me encantan tus vídeos!!
Gracias y saludos!!
Impresionante!!! Ya estoy viendo el siguiente proyecto....... un Kart y su competición.......😁😁👍👍👍👍
this deserves a huge like
Brilliant Ivan
Very cool, can't wait for the next video......
How well it functions is absolutely amazing, take my sub you deserve it!
You can control the tank via a single joystick - north/south on the joystick = forwards/backwards and east/west = clockwise/anti-clockwise for turning. The programming is really simple - for example - map your sensor reading to a range of 0 - 1000 where all the dead space is mapped to 500 (no input) where 0 = south/1000 = north and 0 = west/1000 = east. Take the reading from the east/west joystick sensor as follows: difference = (eastwest - 500) * 0.5; (the 0.5 halves the input reading for less sensitivity) now ADD the difference to the north/south reading for the left motor and SUBTRACT the difference from the north/south reading for the right motor. (leftMotor = NorthSouth + difference; rightMotor = NorthSouth - difference)Trim off any values that are outside the range of 0 to 1000 then map these values to the motor controller software values (or stepper motor wait times between steps).
This then leaves your other hand free to control the second joystick for the cannon.
There is also another way and that is to mount the joystick so it scribes a diamond shape (rather than a square - rotate the square 45 degrees) with the sensors both at the bottom or top of the diamond (not both on the same side).
An insane amount of bolts!!!
The coolest thing I've seen in a looong time! :)
The fact that this even remotely worked out is amazing to me.
awesome work man, enjoyed you 3d print all the industrial tools to make this lol.
hi Ivan,
you've hit the mark again! your modifications are exceptional, even if the engines have reactions to the commands that are still a little too abrupt; you can probably modify the response curve by acting on the SW of the drivers, just to avoid that with a sharp acceleration you can tear some track pins
i'll see you in next video
He needs to add some smoothing to the motor input signals
You know, this whole project has a cosy "Explorers" (1985) feel to me.
Bro that is a amazing 3d printer you have I love that mirrored glass that you print on
