Filament: PLA. Different materials have different shrink rates, so using other filaments might cause fitting issues or dimensional errors during assembly.
Slicer: Bambu Studio. I recommend using my default profile — I’ve tuned it specifically for this model.
Ambient Temperature: If you’re using an open-frame printer like the A1 or A1 Mini, keep your room above 20°C (68°F) to prevent warping.
Print Bed Preparation: Wash with soap and water, then dry thoroughly to ensure good adhesion. For small parts, apply a glue stick for better bed adhesion.
🔧 Assembly Diagram Notes
You’ll need super glue to attach all the components together. This is an early build of mine, so all the wheels need to be glued in place.
The Panther Medium Tank’s running gear uses a complex interleaved road-wheel mechanism, below are the installation procedures for these assemblies:
The 6 plates are the heat-dissipation mesh, I use Bambu Lab’s software to set the top shell thickness to 0, choose “Grid” for the infill pattern, and set the infill density to 50%—this will simulate the mesh effect.
