Conqueror Tank 3D Printing Model comes in 3 versions adapted to be printed on FFF/FDM printers. Files for each version are available for download after the purchase.

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Conqueror Tank, also known as “The FV 214” or ”Tank, Heavy No. 1, 120 mm Gun, Conqueror" is a mighty and heavy 9th-level British tank that was manufactured from 1949 through 1952 and was actually the last British Heavy Tank in service. Being initially created so to counterpose new heavy Soviet tanks when the cold war was at its hottest, the Conqueror tank turned out to be too large and heavy to potentially provide long-range fire support on the battlefield. Therefore, only a total of 185 vehicles were mass-produced from 1955 through 1959. And although, fortunately, the Conquerors never saw any actual use aside from training, its design was interesting enough both for tank replicas modelling enthusiasts and was featured in many well-known and widely played massively multiplayer online games. Either being inspired by the Conqueror tank’s design or being an avid video games player, the author of this 3D printing model came up with his own design to make sure that any tank fan will be able to obtain one’s own British vehicle by means of 3D printing. The main advantage of this heavy tank is said to be its rapid-fire gun, which is extremely effective against infantry as well as other machinery with insufficient armour plating. These, as well as many other features the 3D artist implemented in his model that will surely have its well-deserved place in your collection!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING (FFF/FDM 2.0)

Conqueror Tank for 3D printing is an articulated assembly model and its updating and adaptation for 3D printing took Gambody team 65 hours in total. This tank was first released on Gambody in 2015 and for the model to correspond with the rapid development of 3D printing, the decision was reached to update the tank taking into account the advancements of the technology and all the improvements that can be introduced. So for all the tanks enthusiasts to achieve the best 3D printed result possible, all model’s fine details were tended to, the general level of detail was significantly enhanced and new mechanisms were introduced. In order to ensure the cleanest printing result possible and to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support the Conqueror Tank model was divided into many assembly parts, e.g. the model’s hatch, antennae, armoured skirt, turret, barrel etc. are provided as separate STL files. Besides, in order to ensure the model’s forward movement, there was a special mechanism introduced that enables the articulation of newly designed multi-section caterpillar tracks. Moreover, for your printed Conqueror Tank to become a part of an impressive battle scene, the model’s turret was made rotating, the barrel - movable and the engine compartment can now be opened. All the assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out so to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate.

The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

The model's scale was calculated from the tank's actual length that is 12000 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1:35 for its FFF/FDM version.
