Tank Hotend Display Stand

Boost MeIf you like my random but cool creation then a boost is greatly appreciated :)

 

Have you always wanted a display stand for your hotends that looks like a tank but the hotend is the turret?….no?….oh, well here's one anyway!

And with a rotating turret and working conveyor tracks!

 

It prints in less than 2 hours and is easy to assemble. Only one part has a support and it is very easy to remove.

The tank tracks print in place so you don't have to spend ages joining up every link, just link together the two ends.

The tracks may be a little stiff fresh off the printer but just give them a good wiggle and they'll loosen up nicely pretty quick.

To get the smoothest tracks I recommend printing them on a smooth PEI plate and linking them so the smooth plate side is on the inside.

If you don't have a smooth plate, just link them so whichever side is smoothest is on the inside.

 

Here are the full instructions on how to assemble:

 

There is also included a holder plate for the H2S/H2D/P2S hotends. I don't have these printers to test so I used online dimensions - if they're any issues let me know and I'll update them.
