thanks for the tip. I been looking for make custom decals without investing into the printer myself. Great!
BRUDER tracks I have are 30 and 40mm
( about 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 approx )
the width is not the issue with the mauler, but the thickness is.
someone on Youtube recommended me the Pz3 and Pz4 tracks in 1/16 scale. typically 1/16 scale is too big, but these tanks are kinda medium size with narrow tracks. Heng long makes them in plastic with pins. cheap. coming in soon to try out.
might be reliable for outdoors, but without rubber inserts might not beat the stock mauler tracks... in grip!
here some pictures of wheel work. Mauler, equalizer and my custo warthogs all share the roadwheel from the Mauler. some cosmetic changes.
I am adapting tamiya 1/25 centurionand chieftain outer wheels, which are ABS and not styrene, therefore very durable. plus better detail than my own printed wheels.
on my small printer, it takes about 1,5 hours to print one mauler/warthog roadwheel. with high chances of failure because of warpage or support fusing on wheel, rending it unusable.
different materials behave differently, I have found a drab green filament almost matching the warthog. printing anything flat larger than a quarter is a challenge. especially now that my machine is worn, aged...
