Hey there Geek thank you for your reply, that is very generous of you! Sand crawler is a wonderful project and it was thrilling to see the Mandolorian scaling the walls just like the original Batman lol. I would love to print it at studio scale actually but I don't have an FDM printer and don't know if I could stand any more pleasure (pain) or any more fun (misery) that I've already experienced with the resin printerThanks for your input Ventuoguy...yeah I've been there myself, printing stuff that's too thin. I will be making this as a 1/6 model so wall thickness does not apply to my build. For those that want to print it at studio scale, which is the size I am modelling, then it will come out at 1.09m or 43 inches. At this size I would expect to print the main shell on an FDM printer and everything else in resin
If u wanted to go smaller, around 30cm, and print it all in resin then u would have to print the body as solid and hollow out the shells in Chitubox, to 3mm or so. I will play around with the model once it's complete to see about slicing etc for different printers

Looking great man. Nice details.Ok a few more bits done
Building this is definitely going to be a game of 2 halves...there's the whole upper 'box' sections and then there's all the lower tank tread stuff. I think there are 8 caterpillar tracked sections in 4 pairs...so a lot of printing
