I've been working on a tank design, the biggest hurdle was the functional treads but now that those are out of the way it should start flowing more smoothly. The design is going to modular so you can select the setup you wish to print. Eventually there will be a plethora of different turrets it will be outfitted with. Thought I'd share my progress with you all.
Some renders of different body configs. Prototyping the treads Current state of the one I'm printing Current state of one of my Patreon subscribers prints The treads roll well and it's oh so satisfying to play with them.

Looks good! You should consider adding a commander’s hatch/machine gun to the turret.

A hatch is in the works, as well as interior seat and such for the turret.

Looks cool! So, the actual treads (not the bogey wheels) are also printed? That's impressive, even from just an engineering standpoint.

The other tricky part was making the treads 100% printable with no additional hardware, the individual treads snap fit together. I didn't want any additional hardware necessary like having to insert pins or any such extra steps.

Looks cool! Will this work with both vintage and modern era Joe figures?

Thank you!

The great thing about 3D Printing however, is if you need it larger or smaller, just change the scale when you slice the model. If you had a printer large enough and wanted to go through the material and trouble, you could scale it up 300% and print it for 12" Joes.
