Thanks for all the info on the transport case. I'll definitely need to build one for my David Guyton pack.

I've been watching for a bit and just want to say how AMAZINGLY cool this project is. Well done, all! And I promise not to let my employer know about the style used for the instructions LOL ;-)

Any recommendations on orientation of the Main Hull? Printing on an ender 5 Plus, so I have plenty of room, but have had failures possibly due to gravity. Appreciate seeing what has worked for all of you.

First gnolivos thanks for the great model. It's amazing.

Here's the result of my first print. My y-belt failed.

Didn't realize those mounting tabs were in the model. I had supports turned off. Since those tabs just appear to be for the led light ring I think that would be ok.

I wasn’t in a rush and had plenty of time to burn, so I believe I printed these at .15 mm.

Just looking through the thread again and you know this is a serious project when there are this many clecos involved!

Major pieces of one tank complete!

Here’s some progress on my filling and smoothing.

Getting there slowly but surely.

Great work everyone. Keep them pics coming. I myself am in the sanding stage of my very own Veepy. Taking my time !

I have arrived at the cleco stage. Printing the top part of the other tank right now.
