Want a life-size replica of the newest tank round used by US and NATO tanks such as the M1 Abrams, Leopard, Leclerc, and others? This model can be screwed together in just minutes, no glue is needed.
Note: if you printed my previous M1 Abrams tank round, that was the A2 version, whereas this is the newest A4 version currently in use. This is a completely new model that shares nothing in common with the previous round.
Note: I printed at a higher speed than you are supposed to with Silk to intentionally make it look dull/less-shiny. I printed it with Bambu Matte settings despite it being Silk.
Any semi-shiny light gray filament will work though such as:
Simply screw the pieces together and stick the pointy tip into the top. See image below for assembly order.
Screw the main body segments together as shown below:
The parts should screw together very easily, if you find you have to force the screws to get them started, then your two pieces probably aren't level.
Make sure the parts of level/flat when you start screwing them on so you don't screw them on at an angle. If you set one piece on a table or flat surface, that helps a lot.
Make sure you don't overtighten the screwed on parts
2. Next, take the double side screw peg (shown in blue below) and screw it fully or partly (either is fine) into the piece as shown below:
3. Then, screw the other side of double sided screw into the other piece as shown below. As you tighten it will tighten into both at the same time.
4. Lastly, insert the pointy tip into the top and that's it.
