Tarantula All Terain Combat Vehicle (Pre-supported)

Unsupported Only Version is Free on my Patreon

This is the pre-supported version (also included unsupported version).

For a while I've been dabbling in 3D modelling hoping to make some interesting things that I can print myself. Back in the day I played a bit of WH40K and similar games and always wanted to start making my own tabletop gaming pieces.

I'll admit this isn't as complex or fantastical a design as many of those models are (at least nowadays), partially because I'm still a novice at modelling and also because I tend to enjoy a more "modern" or streamlined aesthetic.

Because of this, it may not readily fit into one of the more established tabletop universes that are popular at the moment, but I really enjoyed how this turned out on the tabletop, and thought I'd share it with anyone who thinks it's cool and would like to make one for themselves.

At the moment, I've decided to give away the unsupported version for free, and to charge what I hope is a fairly low price of $7 for the pre-supported version. I'm not a support expert by any means, but they work, aren't completely ludicrous, and I thought it would be a good balance of giving everyone who wants to a chance to download this model while still helping me out a little, what with the time I've put into this!

I'd love to see people's makes if anyone decides this thing is worth printing, and would love any constructive feedback on the model, supports, and this page in general. And feel free to check out my (very bare at the moment) Patreon!

Dimensions:
-Depends on how you set the legs, but about 80mm x 150mm x 140

Body and Turret are pre-hollowed, with plenty of space inside for magnets for use with the legs, turret, secondary weapon if desired

I've printed this on an Anycubic Photon Mono X (4K) with the following settings:

-Layer height 0.025mm
-Exposure time: 1.25sec
-Lift speed: 180mm/min (down to 120mm/min if I've loaded my plate)
-Rest of settings are default

Total Resin Usage (Pre-supported version): About 260ml

I've uploaded guides for assembly, and a readme with some general tips for printing in case anyone's interested.
