FIELD TESTING MY GIANT 3D PRINTED TANK IN THE FOREST

Learn more about PCBWay's services like CNC Machining, Online sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing or Injection Molding at I've been doing a lot of off camera work to the tank so I could get it ready for this test, It has been a fun test and I've learned a lot about what does and what does not work. By my observations I'd say that the parts that failed did it so because: · I printed them really weak because I was running to finish the tank. · The parts were at least 2 years old and had been supporting the weight of the tank all that time. · There are a couple of design flaws that introduced unwanted weaknesses mostly on the links. Even though the fact that it is 3D printed is a clear drawback I think I'm pretty close to it working as I want so I'll keep pushing through. I still consider the tank finished but I'll have to redesign and reprint a bunch of parts. Please let me know what you think about it in the comments!
