I made a turret for the 3D printed tank so we can put a cannon on top of it. I also installed a few accessories on it that will make easier to install the barrel and the rest of the motors and actuators to make it work. I'm using a nema 23 stepper motor to make the turret spin and seems to be more than capable to spin the turret at a decent speed. I'm running the motor @12V for now but 24V will be available when I install the electronics for the cannon.

You need to build a head mounted turret display that tracks your head movement so you can just look around with your head to aim!
Love the updates on the Tank! 🤘😎
Thanks man! 🤘🤘
i can't believe how far this has come ivan, seriously you started with a crazy idea of an RC tank and now look at you! your making a whole 3D printed Friggin personal tank!! this is amazing and i'm so excited to see what your gonna do with the cannon!!!!
I never get tired of seeing you drilling holes!
Nice video!
A LOT of clever design, congrats for making and showing them to us !
This just keeps getting cooler and cooler, you must be well chuffed, brilliant work.
YEP This tank is AWESOME! Great work Ivan! Love following this build!
This is an amazing project Ivan!!! I follow it from the beggining, and I cant wait to see the final vehicle with all the improvements!!! It will be great if, after finishing it, you try to make it more "modern", with wider profile and everything. Hope to see a new video soon!!!
Man... I was thinking when I saw you were adding the turret that you would need bearings. My mind then went to what if he used the ball bearings and within 30 seconds you did exactly what I was thinking of :) awesome!
Great engineer with a super great chuckle!! 👍🏻
The tank is looking really good! I can't wait to see the next video!
Great turret: fast enough to brake the cannon :) . I love this project!
Fantastic work, Ivan! 😃
It's looking as a real tank already!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great now my kids want tanks :). Awesome videos that seem to get my kids more interested in 3D printing than I have been able to get them for the past four years.
That is the coolest tank I have ever seen, Awsome job 👏 so much thought and time put into it
omg it sounds like an ATAT when the turrent moves. so cool!
Great stuff Ivan!!!
Keep up the great work mate👍👍
Ivan, your designs have become more and more insane over the years. That's why I love your channel and am happily subscribed. All the best bud.
Now everything makes sense. You built a cannon some time ago and probably that was just a test.
Really cool!
The DIY bearing was genius!!
It's very frustrating how good you are at everything..... keep up the good work 👏
You child-like glee at making your tank is awesome!
Have you consider puting the print time and how much plastic is used ? I'm really curious 😅
Awesome engineering, design and fab. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Sweet, can't wait to see what you arm this thing with
Excellent project, excellent channel !!!
Somewhere, some algorithm is cross-referencing my search history with Ivan and Tank and makers and bam... watch list. lol
Great job as always. Living the 3d printing insanity dream.
this is very cool! I've been waiting a while, but the wait was worth it. And it is amazing that this is almost completely 3D printed!
Yeah!
You have to add a automatic target lock system in this turret. Really this project is stunning! Good Job!
Yess!!! Tank videos againn
Seriously cannot wait til the day this beast is finished! Going to be so super epic! \m/
Love your videos, but is there any chance you could begin posting estimated weight in plastic used? I'm really curious how much printing something like this could potentially cost!
a lot!
... proving once again that just because you can 3D print something, doesn't mean you should 🙄😋
If it isn’t close to or in the thousands of dollars for that much filament I would be shocked. Assuming a price of $25-35 per kilogram of filament
We don't want to know... it would destroy the dream! :o)
@@binaryspace6444 You can get quality filament for half the price you are quoting and thats without sponsorships. Ivan gets his filament from APrintaPro and its called Mirandament so I doubt he pays for any of it.
Ivan eres una maquina, llevo viendo tu canal unos dias y estoy enganchadisimo. Eres el mejor ingeniero de TH-cam!
To make your giant bearing ride smoother and better, here's two tips (source, i made a few of them, and got it down to a T, pretty close to the worst metal bearing, without being one).
1. Print a 3rd piece which is a match for the two races (if it's a inner and outer race, use a segmented part with a slip piece between), you'll want to affix one of the two sides securely to a table (as flat as can be) or In Situ, then using the spacer and top part of the bearing and friction (two five liter bottles on a glass plate) you twist this fast, back and forth on a 180 rotation, twisting it 360 every few twists.
-This will create a really smooth set of races, and more importantly, matched.
2. Take your balls, and measure them. After you've done so, keeping each ball to its size, you have to discard any bearing that's over the average, and replace them with bearings balls on average or smaller.
-This will make sure that the race remains uniform.
This gives extremely good 3D printed bearings. Smooth, and they wear out slower.
You can pimp them out further with two mods. Metal filament (or wood, tho, that one's complicated) and or super glue on PLA / acetone on ABS (both before you've done no 1).
You could also make wire race ball bearings. The 3D print gets channels for the wire and 4 wires are carefully rolled to size and fit in the races. There are a few youtube videos showing how to make DIY versions, and there is a German manufacturer that makes high precision versions.
omg that's crazy and fun ! very nice !
I have been waiting for this video for a long time
@IvanMiranda your closing line in every video truly inspired me! I made something!!! ...and it turned out pretty good. You're awesome!!!
You too!
These videos are so inspiring I need a bigger 3d printer
Now this looks amazing, if only we could have toys like this as kids :D
Nice 👌 id love to learn more about the electronic side of this seems kinda interesting coding and tune
This is soooo fun. I made a 2 axis 3d printed turret camera for my security cameras system so this feels sooo familiar to me. I made my bearing also for the same reason and I did use a detangler (12 wire)
Cool!
The best moment to post a video about a tank.
As usual feckin brilliant.
The sheer amount of filament Ivan uses on each project is mind boggling
I like the sound of the turning turret :-)
interesting project as always
Woo Hoo! It's coming together.
You're a wild man!
honestly, I find this project completely crazy. You too are crazy, but I love it XD it's such an amazing project ^^ . once finished, go shopping with this tank ! ^^
Qué fácil haces que parezca, Iván. Menudo máquina!
The Mad Man in Red does it again. Love it.
SO SICK!
Alright this is cool, you sir just scored a new sub!
Oh Ivan. I remember the good old days where you used a screwdriver as hammers. Fond memories. Bit curious on your CAD design philosophy. How you make stuff fit together. Do you have a design idear book you follow or do you think about it on the fly. Because i keep getting facinated how you design your way out of problems. Hinges, slots, holes and even the locking mechanism for the service port of the turret. Fascinating. Maybe a tour on how you did in the past and progression untill now. Just an idea. :) Thanks for always being in good spirit!
This is so cool wish I had a printer big enough to do this
I didn't know those rotating cables exist, genius! Also past Ivan is a very thoughtful and forward thinking guy xD Looking forward to the cannon!
FYI: it's called a slip ring
That's awesome! I'd have wanted a slip ring connector with more wires, to send signals as well as power. That way you don't need wireless devices or extra computing power, you simply need a joystick or so, plugged into the body. But one uses what is available!
AR glasses with eye detection for auto aiming would be NICE :D
See if you can use 'motion filtering' for your turret motor, to make its turning more smooth; once you have your cannon installed, its end shouldn't flail about so much.
Still amazing and so fun ;)
nice work
I apricate you and your channel.
great project. i cant even imagine how much time you spend making this tank... add racks on the sides for launching smoke bombs to make smoke screen, that will be fun addition 😉
It reminds me of those tiny little French tanks from ww2, those little coffins on treads where the entire front section of armor in front of the driver is.
You could probably use something like this for paintball or airsoft tho, it would be cool
Awesome work! As a way of future-proofing, are you considering interchangeable parts for the rotating mount, thinking maybe a robot arm
Not yet, The turret is quite modular, I'm focused on finishing it for now. Great idea though!
Nice cnc machine!
how thick are the walls and what % of endfill?
Love your videos!
Thats an epic pinch hazard you have made there
You're amazing!
I'd like to the the look on Ivan's face when an unsuspecting person asks him if he 3D prints anything.
Ivan, great videos. Any plans to put out videos about the electronics used and how you configured things. videos on YT or Patreon would be great.
Stay Well
How can one man be so good at everything?
A madman!!!
amazing !
Man, this thing is awesome! Think it hurt my soul a little bit seeing you strip those wires with a pair of scissors though 🤣
additional items (gun cannon) with display in operator section (to see your target)
also magnetic "rail gun" (shooting nails or ball bearings) going through (under seat) of main body (forward facing only)
I'm jealous... I wanna build my own tank, a usable 3D printed KV-2! Full sized and everything!
How beautifully terrifying! It’s all coming together…
We need 10 hours of this guy saying "turret". Awesome build yo!
Awesome video.. I wonder what size nozzle do u use to make huge prints.. What layer height.? Keep up the good content..
Ivan,I hope EU doesn't banned 3d printers because of you!
Great project !
Would you consider milling the turret gear after printing, or perhaps making an aluminum insert? Fantastic job! Super inspiring!
eres un genio amigo!
Idea for the next project: a Dalek scaled up so you can fit in it. Of course in your red plastic... And with gyro controls to match your head movements...
I can't even imagine how much planning and cad must have been gone into this project.
A L-O-T
@@ivanmirandawastaken Soooo, No hope of me doing something like this in blender? :)p
@@ivanmirandawastaken are you the only one designing or do you have help. Awesome videos by the way
@@davidschwartz2485 Design, print, assembly, edit, all by myself yes.
@@ivanmirandawastaken That is incredible. I have been watching your channel for a few years and I've learned so much. Would you ever make a video about electronics assembly or your process planning and designing your projects? I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
That is going to be one BFG on the tank 🤯
Nice video Miranda!!
What motor are you using? What are it's specs?
don't forget about elevation control for the cannon so that you can aim it properly.
Mark the calendar... I saw Ivan doing some wiring! "WIRING IS BOORRIING!" :o)
Seems like a perfect time to plug in the crossout ad
great job ! but maybe add-on some rubber just bitween steel balls and pla to reduce noise =)
I'd love to know what programming language you used for the turret movement controls! My guess is C because it' looks to be an embedded system but maybe C++?
one day this guy is going to conquer the world with a printed plastic tank
If you want even higher speeds, torque and more repeatability, you could look into iHSV57 servo motors.
I'm currently in the process of replacing the NEMA23 stepper motors that came with my milling machine with those, and holy smokes are they faster, stronger and more accurate!
Also, their driver is included, so lots of saved space!
They do require higher voltage, however.
i wonder if u could use that for paintball or airsoft would definatly be fun 2 run around a feild in
This man single-handedly keeping red filament out of stock
heii, how big of a nozzle you have on your BEAST 3d printer, cause your prints look abnormaly good and which filament do you use?
greetings from Slovenia
Will you be releasing this like other projects I need this lol !!!
MORE TANK YES!
Some vertical control would be nice too
