Replacement tracks for our favorite 1/35th scale model kits can be expensive and many rare variants are not available by our kit manufacturers and aftermarket brands.
This video is a follow-up on my video about printing tracks. It's possible, but how good does it get with a home 3D printer for resin. Well, in this video I show my newly designed Pz.Kpfw. I workable tracks, explain the complete updated printing process and compare them against Dragon Models Magic Tracks, Italeri and Tristar. Let's see if 3D printed scale model tracks are just a replacement or even a worthwhile upgrade...

Sry lads for breaking the schedule on this one. I took the chance to update my workflow to a fully scripted video, recording audio fist this time (instead of filming along and doing a voiceover after editing). I took more time than would have liked, but in my opinion the result is a noticable better video in the end : ) Next week it's back to Friday again, with lessons learned fully implemented.
Looked good. I'm redoing my whole way of recording and editing to make a better product. Keep it up!!!
Sehr beeindruckend, was du da an Können und Wissen reinsteckst!
Danke Dir, bin jetzt mal gespannt wie die Dinger nach dem Altern rauskommen.
I’m so glad you put more work into discussing the track types. And I’m loving the add on ice kelts! 38(t) tracks soon? Ha ha have too give some love love too my other favorite German tank!
Thanks, 38(t)s are loosly scheduled for May/June this year, I have wo Hetzers and Recon 38(t)s on the bench. Will be a all Variant run though incuding winter-ones selection based on Schwarzmanns Gleisketten book.
Brilliant my friend I can see you have taken great care producing these track links and the way you have designed then on 45degree angle to help with taking them of the trees is brilliant looking forward to all you future builds with interest
Thank you Greg. Glad you like them. See you soon my friend. Glückauf!
Sehr beeindruckend und ein sehr gutes Ergebnis Deiner Kettenglieder über den 3D Drucker. Ebenso beeindruckend, die Fähigkeiten, die Du Dir in diesem Bereich erworben hast.
Deine Ausrüstung ist auch schon sehr umfassend. Eine gewisse Arbeit aber das Ergebnis überzeugt. Bis mal wieder. Gruß, Joachim
Dank Dir Joachim. Langsam aber sicher kommt alles zusammen, freut mich das es Dir gefallen hat. Bis demnächst und ne schöne Woche Dir! Grüße Kai
Thanks for great videos! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic Kai its amazing what you have achieved and this is the way forward in improving our scale models a bit too technical for me but worth watching and of course I look forward to your next instalment. take care and be safe 😎👍
Thanks Paul, I'll do a less technical introduction to these machines soon - I'd like to get you guys all on at least a basic level of understanding the capabilities and Limits of these printer, since I'm going to use mine very often from now ; )
@@Tankbrusher That's ok Kai what I meant was I'm still trying to understand the principle of 3D printing but I still think this will become a normal way of doing things in the near future and I'm embracing it so good luck with your next project and of course I will be waiting to see your next video. thank you 👍😎
@@paulhumphriesz4557 It will be the way to supplement our builds for shure - I lost one of these hooks going in the front of the vehicle. It was replaced in less than an hour... But it all boils down to well we can do computer aided drafting or 3d modelling - that's the real boiling point. You see a lot of large figures being printed on YT, these organic shapes are less affacted to warping, twisting and shrinking than mechanical looking parts are - my lastly printed E75 tracks looked like a banana for example of the first try ; ) It looks easy, it is easy but it has some pitfalls...
Kai, your details are amazing, I have printed several versions of your tracks, and as a fellow 3D designer I have to admit that your work on tracks is better than mine. ; ]
Thanks Ron, not everything is a competition in life : ) I have good practice w. tracks now, give the Tiger ones with track pins a shot - I can't stop playing around with them on the bench xD
Awesome work Kia..just awesome.i really must look into a 3D printer i guess.lol your works are amazing i think. Very nice work Kia.
Superb work and research. Well done.
Thanks Monty.
Great work on these tracks. Now i know why magic tracks are magic! Every day is a learning day...👍
Thank you John.
Nice details, impressive tracks!
Thanks Phil!
Great video my friend the tracks look amazing stay safe 👍🙏
Thanks mate!
Hi Kai, you did it. It's great works. Actually, I watched only one product printed by 3D printer yet. And it's very detailed and nice.
Also, the tracks what you made are excellent. Thanks for sharing. Please stay safe my friend, NOB
Thank you NOB, I hope I can make more detailed parts in the future. Grüße Kai
Very nice work and information. Ok... the resin printer will be my next big purchase!!!
Thanks Rick. If this generation of machines becomes standard, we will have a great time upgrading our models : )
매우 흥미롭게 잘봤습니다. 다음편도 기대됩니다.
Very interesting video!!! You make me want to buy a 3d printing equipment :) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate! designing them is harder than printing ; )
Really hate patrons but i like you so you just gained Patron this type of work i support fully. i been here from the early days as well so maybe one day i can temp you too change your mind on painting a figure :D
Hehe, I'll paint a figure at some point, painted a Ogor (Warhammer Age of Sigmar) army recently, that was good practice : ) Thanks for joining on patreon - you and the other 3 guys make a difference there. TH-cam ad revenue is less than having 4 Patrons atm for example ; )
@@Tankbrusher Mate we are doing the same thing just in different countries how can i not support your journey we shall never mention cash again you are welcome. Any figure painting is good to me i don't do the Gw stuff myself but love watching it, i always pick up something. take care mate have a good weekend
Glad you are printing more vertical.
Didn't work well with my previous setup. Next project will be multi-level ; )
@@Tankbrusher I noticed your gabelstollen are symmetrical. One side is taller than the other on real ones.
@@AdamMann3D There are more geometrical differences to original ones from mine. If it's more than 1/10 mm in 1/35scale on your originals I'll update mine.
Ну да... Для полной картины , надо траки печатать с литьевыми номерами... Будет вообще шедевр!
Извините, друг, перевод вашего комментария не прошел хорошо ... Маркировка производителя и текстуры чугуна будут недоступны в ближайшем будущем. Фрезерные станки делают позиционирование в пределах 20 нанометров - 3D-принтеры в пределах 30 микрон, это огромная разница, которую мы не можем компенсировать на скамейке для хобби ...
@@Tankbrusher Да я понимаю... Просто даже сейчас 3D принтер впечатляет!!! Я рад за вас. Мне он пока не по карману...
Hallo Tankbrusher, ich habe deinen Kanal heute durch Zufall gefunden und bin erstaunt über den Detailgrad deiner Kettenglieder. Genau das habe ich mir auch immer überlegt, habe aber nie die Zeit gefunden sie im CAD zu modellieren. Wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, benutzt du einen Drucker mit einer 0.035 mm Auflösung. Vorher hattest du aber einen mit einer 0.05 mm Auflösung. Ich frage mich nun, ob ich die Kettenglieder deines Patreon auch zu friedenstellend mit der 0.05 mm Auflösung drucken könnnte? Viele Grüße David.
Hallo David, viele meiner Patrons haben normale 50um drucker, das ist kein problem. Mein PAtreon hat sich allerding geändert, es gibt nur noch monatlichen Content, nicht mehr alles was zuvor online war. Diesen Monat sind Hetzer Ketten Typ 2 dran.
What kind of printer are you used? Looks like an Anycubic but cannot identify the exact model. I have a Mono on order but I think the resolution is 51um, compared to yours 35um.
I like those!
Thanks!
@@Tankbrusher You're welcome.
You are insane but the results seem well worth it. Once you brought out the microscope for assembly I started to laugh! I do remember how tiny these things are...so I can only imagine the work involved with putting pins in them!
hahaha : ) Testprinted about 4000 single links, assembled about 1000 over the last two weeks... Can tell ya I'm done with Panzer Is for the next half year xD Even priming parts was joy yesterday xD Started the panther ones today, plus two types of Mittelstollen and Bergegreifer.
Awesome! I remember you wanted something from me about the Panther tracks...so I will check back on FB messenger.
So ein 3D Drucker schon was feines. Wie gibt man das ein frag ich mich grad Arbeite an einer CNC Plattenfräße. Musst da auch alle Prameter eingeben.
Hi, wo ne CAM Software nutzt, nutzen wir nen Slicer. Die Drucker beherrschen GCode, allerdings abewandelt und in proitären Formate eingewickelt. Festgelegt wird v.a. die Belichtungsdauer der einzelnen Schichten. Das hängt dann vom Bauteil, Drucker und verwendeten Resin ab. vgl. Drehzahl und Zustellung bezgl. deines Fräsers. Das meiste an den Druckern ist sehr vereinfacht, so kann z.B. die Belichtungsdauer nur für die gesamte Druckplatte festgelegt werden und leider nicht für einzelne Segmente oder Schichten. Soll halt nutzerfreundlich sein ; )
Hi, I did not quite get the model and brand of the 3d printing equipment being used. Can you share with us? Thank you.
I'm running the sm4k for the rest of this year, expecting to switch to the sm8k in the new year. Not going to advertise the brand, since the sm4k is acctually not a good/well made machine that can be used without modifications.
@@Tankbrusher Thank you for sharing. Cheers!
Hi. I was inspired by this video. And modellled clamp for the tools. It perfectly printed although it is as tiny as PE parts. But all my 3d-printed clamps are fragile as hell. Just touch it and it breaks. Did you try to print a clamps? I'm using anycubic "basic" resin. After curing it's like ceramic.
Hi, I tested printing clamps at some point a while ago (more concept based than the actual part) but I don't have a good one to copy from atm. Did you design yours yourself? I'm very interessted in clamps (and tools). Atm I'm working more or less on a complete Panther Ausf. D based on Dragon.
There are different types of Resin, you can get some with ABS like properties -> much less fragile. I'm kind of limited to water washable resin because I can't justify having large quantities of IPA /Ethanol around (Fire/Vapor hazard).
@@Tankbrusher Yeah, I designed myself. More concept than the actual part as well. I've used picture of Rochm clamps as a canvas for modeling in Fusion 360. Now fiddling with supports for them. I bought 2 liters of anycubic basic resin along with the printer. Just to try. Now I need to use all of this resin before I can buy another one :)
@@CatEatsDogs Sounds like it is time to start a 40k tabletop army... That will deal with resin very fast xD I do know that Adam Mann here on YT does have digital copies of original tool clamps, but don' know if he sells them somewhere... My exerience is so far that we have to tinker with FEP tension before we are able to the handles of toolclamps to print. Another guy on Facebook manged to print workable 1/35th tool clamps but on a professional machine. Before I dive into that small parts, I need Panther tracks and a lower hull and before that I have to fix my Dragon Panther Ausf. D...
you can make a lot of models using this printer. cool Bro
Thanks mate, seen already a lot modelers doing 1/72th scale fully printed vehicles. in 1/35th resin tending to warp becomes a issue. Ppl. doing 40k tabletop are printing large vehicles like crazy however ; )
I would like to be able to purchase a set of your tracks for a Tiger I tank kit. I'm looking for mirror tracks so please let me know. I would like to even purchase and print my own Tiger I tracks.
Hello Robert, contact me on Facebook or Instagram please: facebook.com/albert.panza.315 instagram.com/tankbrusher/ happy to get you the files you need
Do these tracks also work for Panzer II Ausf. F/G???
No Panzer II Tracks are a bit larger. I'll upload mine to cults3d (Tankbrusher) they work for the Ausf. F, I'm not familiar with a Asuf. G though. Panzer II aside from A,B,C,F use different track again, most likly I have scanns mid next year - they are somewhat hard get hands on...
@@Tankbrusher Awesome, thanks!!
Good stuff! Are you going to be selling these to modeler's? I can certainly do with a set for my wee hobby boss full interior one! Have you got a set of stug 3 tracks I can try to finish a build or if you have them in winterketten?
My STL files are on Patreon. You can either get a printer yourself or use a local printing service. Atm I have no merchant in the UK / Scotland. I myself do not offer physical prints. I will do Winterketten in the future, but I've no date yet. RFM just anouced some, so maybe I follow soon...
@@Tankbrusher cool, yeah we don't have anything like that, service printers that you can use to do anything like this just not a thing that's offered that I've ever heard off I do have a friend who works in a decal and dealing shop he's not heard of it Either, could you not start an ebay for them and set up a PayPal transfer for sets at some point? I'd be a regular myself for them and sure alot more would be too! I have been thinking about a printer but no room for it then it's the pussying about trying to figure it all out etc! Rather spend a few pennies tbh lol
I got a set of masterclub winterketten today finally in stock!
@@AFV85 Oh there were (are) internet plattforms for exactly this kind of task: Allowing private ppl to print stuff for ppl without a printer within the same country. Running a store with physical items is neither economic nor time effective for me here. I do my designs primarly for my personal projects & builds and not as a buisness. Otherwise I'd have to speed up release frequency and ask for a very different price in order to make it sustainable, just to be outperformed and outpriced by chinese companies doing the same stuff in teamwork, full time and with a fraction of the base cost... It will not take long for established companies to go deep on 3D printing, that's for sure. Than you can buy it from your favorite online store.
@@Tankbrusher I'll look into it never knew it was Internet based thought it was a detailing printers or something like what my friend works in, I'll look into it now thanks again mate
Phrozen Mini 4k found it. How do you think it compares to 2k screen and 51um?
Hi, it is noticable. I've got the photon S to compare to - while the photon s is the better machine - construction wise - the prints are noticeable more detailed on the SM4K. Specially when it comes to printing thin walls and holes.
@@Tankbrusher As I said in different comment I got on order the Anycubic Photon Mono. I wanted to go with SM4K but the difference I put towards an Anycubic Mega Zero 2.0 which will be used for different task that do not require so much detail. However I am interested in how would such a print compare between APM and SM4K.
@@Tankbrusher From the paper stats I can see Photon S would be not so great compared with Photon Mono in resolution. Not sure what LCD it has, and while seems 2K Y axis they say it is 1.25 um. Which is quite a lot. Mono lists: Z Axis Res.: 0.01mm
, Layer Res.: 0.01 ~ 0.15mm, XY Res.: 0.051mm 2560*1620（2K).
I'll contact Anycubic to see if I can get some props to compare the machines in their resolution. The photon s should be compareable to the mono, it's grid is around 47,5um (messured my spare display) - not in print time of cause. Atm I'm too short on resin to dial the photon in. I never printed the same parts on both machines with maxed out settings, the sm4k was in practical terms a replacement. If you don't mind contacting me on facebook: The upcomeing week I'll be stocked up on resin and have to print a lot of parts - I'll run a few panther and E-100 tracks on both machines and post the macro shots. facebook.com/albert.panza.315 I'm curious as well, since I'm looking into getting a larger 50um printer, since I'm designing a printable Panther (D-A), with its chassis almost completed it'll be time to upgrade.
@@Tankbrusher Ahhh, the Mighty one!
Pretty cool! FYI your intro says 1/35 German armo(r)
Thanks mate for makeing me aware - wanted to roll the vid out, that sliped past me this time. Thanks again, going to hardcode it next time...
Hi! Wie könnte ich an Deine 3D-Kettenglieder für Panzer III/IV Typ 5B kommen? Ich habe keinen 3D-Printer und kann sie daher nicht selber drucken. Wäre es möglich, dass Du mir die Ketten druckst und zuschickst, und wenn ja, was würde es kosten?
Schreibst mich auf Facebook an, da finden wir ne Lösung. facebook.com/albert.panza.315
