GI Joe Triple T

The GI Joe Triple T (Tag Team Terminator) from the class of 1986. Likable for how downright ridiculous it is. A rolling deathtrap, Sgt. Slaughter must have been born with nine lives and eardrums made of steel. Machine guns going off next to the drivers head, an open cockpit with nowhere to hide, and rocket exhaust nozzles pointed right at the passengers makes you think that Destro gifted this vehicle to the Joes - his code name for the project was probably 'Trojan Horse'. Ah well, late 80's GI Joe...

The file was created using the actual toy and a set of six inch calipers. It's modeled full scale but is optimized for printing at 25%. Unless you stay in that range your print may have too much or too little detail. My finished model weighs 10 grams so it cost me 20 cents for the material to print it.

This file is free to download. Note that it is listed as non-commercial because this was copied from intellectual property that I do not own. As such neither you nor I are allowed to sell physical copies of this 3-D model. You are allowed (and encouraged) to print copies for your own personal use. ‘Makes’ are appreciated.

By now you can figure out how to print these. Print the 'show' side up whenever possible and supports as needed. Guns and rockets are printed so the barrel and rocket body are parallel to the build plate for greater strength. Tracks printed with the wheels up so you don't have to clean off support material.

Thanks to Chris for loaning me his original toy which makes the model more accurate and a lot faster to create. This thing was actually pretty tough with all the weird angled surfaces it has.

As always, much respect and gratitude to past and present members of our Armed Forces. You are the “Real American Heroes” and your sacrifice allows people like me to live in peace, freedom and make silly little toys like these.
