FIELD TESTING MY GIANT 3 D 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, 33
