@@ivanmirandawastaken After years of skidy skidy belts, why havent you yet decided to attach or spray rubber on the belts? Is there a different purpose for not doing that? 🤔 How about using TPE or some rubbery filament, will it work?
Damn. I'm sure everyone sees you as this energetic guy that makes cool stuff, but let us take a minute to appreciate the genius behind some of your designs such as the link system that locks the little piece of filament in place. So simple but coming up with such a system and making it work right away ain't so simple!
"Honey I shrank the tank!" came to mind :D. Really enjoyed this continuation of the tank series. A great way to use any left over electronics or repurpose a broken RC toy. Would be nice to see you do a build using only one spool for those who are eco minded. Thanks for giving us more of your laugher and spacers call out.
Wow that's a real cool tank, I'd recommend looking at the Ardupilot boards and environment(autopilot system basically). I think it would be awesome on projects like this. Nice work Ivan
And on a personal note I'd run it backwards so it looks more like an old unimog cab over look but that's purely a cosmetic thing and a personal choice... although track kleets might be a nice addition?!?!
I'm glad to see you've started selling some designs! While I can't buy the mini tank yet, it definitely looks like a fantastic kit that I look forward to buying. It's like upgraded LEGO!
I've made the RC speedtank from Thingyverse a while ago, it is quite similar in size and speed. I like that you have all gears inside the vehicle, the speedtank doesn't so sand can get in the gears that are on the outside (they are pretty well covered, but still). Keep up the good work! Love your creativity and guts to make things like the giant tank.
I've been having a lot of fun building this tank. Thanks for sharing the design. But if I could make a couple of suggestions based on my experience: - a wiring diagram in the documentation would be nice. Just a simple one that shows the motors connect to the ESCs and then to the same battery. One to channel 2 another to channel 3 on the receiver. - you need to use 2 counter clock wise motors. Luckily I bought 2 of each.
Idea for the treads: three-part tread segments. The main frame of each segment has a rectangular hole in the center to accommodate a rubber or similar material designed to provide traction on smooth surfaces on one side. On the other side, a bolt or similar technique to hold the adhesive part in place so that is does not come off of the tread. If you had an entire tread with that design, you would see a great increase in traction and acceleration on smoother surfaces. Cheers!
I'm impressed that your gears hold on the Axel's so well. I built a 3D printed gun that used spinning disks to launch 9mm pellets (also printed) and the disks would get shocked on launch and move a bit which created heat which caused the hole to get slightly larger each round fired until it just spun freely.
Looks awesome, I might have to build one with my kids. BTW, I think (and you'd probably know) that PLA and TPU will fuse together. When you're making the treads, you could put one or two layers of TPU. Alternatively, a better way would probably be to have replaceable grippy treads.
Initially, I'm like, "well, this is quite the contemptible fellow... but that whole, "Spacer!!" routine is totally redeeming (your fraudulence notwithstanding)... it also really illuminates the extreme violence stirring in your soul. Kudos, "Ivan".
I do sit down and think "what should i print next?" Its the often helmet or movie prop But I've never sat down and thought "IM GONNA BUILT A TANK" This is why i live the vids man keep it up 👌🏼
Watching your tank videos made me realise how important it is to build extra big versions, before attempting a miniature one! 😆 And please, if you can, try adding a nerf blaster or something like that on it, for the real tank vibes...😅
@@ivanmirandawastaken thanks man! It certainly is huge! I can have a taste now of what it would be to own such a large printer like you do, just the taste xD
You really should tackle a tank with some suspension for the road wheels so it could actually work on uneven terrain. A torsion bar suspension would be basically fully 3D printable too, as it doesn't use any springs at all, instead relying on the twist of the bars.
Awesome, add small holes, not throughholes into the track for o-ring material. The stuff you make our own o-rings out of. Should help with the traction
You should stick some plastic to the tracks to increase traction. For the big tank i think you can install a simple transmission in order to reduce the burden on top of the electric motors.
Nice project! New screwless thread design is great. Next time you could design a mini tank with the body fully contained into the threads loop height so it can continue working even if it goes upside down
Really cool project! I like that you make many different versions but I don't know I would call it mini. Might make something even smaller myself. Keep your amazing projects coming.
Am I the only one that thinks if he simply added teeth or tire style grooves to the tracks it would have far more grip? Think something like paddle tires, or the texturing of an ACTUAL tank tread. Alongside that maybe an increase in weight would also add grip at the cost of speed. Otherwise phenomenal build, the way the drive sprockets mate on a singular output shaft is something I'll need to start using!
You should consider some sort of rubber coating of the track, would improve traction on hard surfaces. Can be done quite easily now with "sprayable liquid rubber", after some curing you get a nice grippy surface.
try printing 4 layers of TPU then switch to PLAY at 240c and 15mm/s for the interface layer then ramp up to 50mm/s and slowly bring the temp down a bit to 220c to print the treads. this way you get dimensionally accurate treads of PLA but "tpu feet" for traction.
I think, if you added rubber grips to the tank treads, it would have better traction on the ground. But problems could arise like difficulty turning and having to redesign the entire tank treads, but if done correctly, it should work.
avi compression is obsolete, so the big tank after Matroska compression became minitank mkv! Hi Ivan next improvemente a rubber strip on the tracks so you can climb walls! Stay healty and don't give up!
Hey man, awesome video! Don´t know if to adress this comment in spanish, but I´ll do it in english:) I love the tank design and it looks awesome, but I would like to suggest some upgrades for the minitank. 1.- Try gearing the wheels for the tank´s tracks, since you get a lot of speed, bot you wont get much tracktion, and by gearing it, it would make it a really good climber. (PLA gears work great, and adding a little bit of silicone lube makes them work great) 2.- Also try raising the chassey a bit, it has a very low clearence and in a offroad track, it would loose much speed by the chassey dragging on the surface. 3.- Make the tracks have a litle notch on them so they grip better on surfaces, since you can see on the vid how the tank slips. Anyhow, looks awesome and seems very fun. Keep it up man!
Clever way to put track chains together, but there would install some rubber to surface of that or even print those from soft TPU Then it can climp much higher and moves accurate and with lesser noice in smooth surfaces like inside
Gr8 Vid Ivan-kun ...heard a voice from the past in my head, a thought roughly spelling: "One day everyone will be able to create the coolest toys imaginary, and completely build them themselves"
Ivan, very nice and simple. Love it, but for a bit of traction, you could print the block track pieces out of TPU so you could still drift but get better traction as well. The other way would be to modify your tracks so you can install small TPU pads for traction when you want or need it. Love the channel!!!!!!!!!!!
try adding an exposed C channel in which you insert some flexible filament on the threads. maybe even on only the black ones it might provide enough grip.
Hmm, have you considered spraying the bottom of the treads with something like plasti-dip? You know, a spray on rubberized coating that sticks to plastic. :)
I considered test this on a loose surface like sand or dirt where rubber would not matter, but then all of a sudden... you know, outside does not exist... but in 2027 I'll show you this beast on sand and you'll see what I mean
Sadly, my experience working with it makes me believe Plastidip is likely to tear off the surface pretty quick. That said, some rubberized truck bed liner in small patches might do the trick.
Ivan suggestion for treads make the black treads little higher (.05 to .1mm) than red treads (and possible made from TPU) should give tank little more traction
I think if you want to give the tracks more grip then you should buy something called grip stickers. They’re for smartphones and they’re very grippy. Just attach them to the tracks.
Maybe to make them better at climbing things you could glue rubber strips to the bottoms of the track links? Or you could mabye even use sand paper, though that would tear up anything you drove it over. Nice tank anyways!
Schöne Idee nur leider fehlt deinem Tank zwei ganz wichtige Sachen☝️: 1. Eine griffige Kette - entweder mit Gumiklötzen oder mit Krallen. 2. Eine Laufrollenfederung die für bessere Bodenhaftung sorgt. Aber so ist das echt Funcky👍👍👍

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING

Just like Bob ross' happy accidents
Indeed! my "Hammer" hoodie is getting a little worn. ;-)
I need this now!
Girlfriend: "I need some space"
*Boyfriend holds spacer inbetween them*
Boyfriend: "SPACER!!"
good damn that made me laugh way to hard haha.
What about the spacer all the time? I don't get it.
👌❤
That is one way to get yourself fast tracked to a new .space domain 😁
Love the new track pin design 👌🏻
Yes! Game changer! Thanks Chris!
But how are you pulling the pin out once you've pushed it down. There's not a lot to pull on if you refer to your cad model
@@A3dprintedman it looks like it could be pushed out from the opposite side.
I kind of wonder if that design could be scaled up for metal tracks using heavy cable with bonded ends.
I was just thinking to myself: Ivan is a bit short on tanks, I reckon he needs another one or bad things will happen.
maybe a midi tank ( not m.i.d.i. please)Lol
this channel definetly lacks tanks
You could probably spray them with plasti-dip or some equipment rubberized spray to make them more grippy.
Or maybe printing them with a stiffer TPU?
Or just glue some thin rubber pads to the tracks, that or sandpaper, sandpaper might work.
Or print a flex track that's a bit smaller then the track he made for this and put it over the plastic track.
Why bothering. Put some rubberbands on, done.
The passion and creativity behind not only these projects but the videos themselves on a whole other level
Absolutely amazing work, underrated channel
I think you are beating a dead horse with all these tanks
I want to see a better tank build from scratch like this from the 128 people that disliked it.
Ain't gonna happen 😂

My pleasure!

iNav + crossfire + long range fpv = more fun then one man should have with a rc tank!

Just swap any two of the motor wires to reverse the direction.
That tank tack retainer design is a game changer. Gives me some great ideas for some of my projects with hinges.

fun fact small tanks roughly the size of cars were known as tankettes, but Colloquially it also just meant small tank

Great mini tank
the pin design is genious, love it!
Maybe you could make like 1/3rd of the thread pices with flexible filament, that way you would gain traction but should still be able to drift.
so many great design concepts in here
I love how everything just goes together, never happens when I make something.
Any issues are easily edited out
Reminds me of Thunder Tank,
Goto vehicle for ThunderCatsⒸ™®
Awesome work as always. A little bit crazy, lots of fun and SPACERS. Cheers, JAYTEE
Just the effort you put in is worth at least a thumbs up
