Скачать или смотреть Realistic resin 3D printed tyres for scale model 'Petite Curie' WW1 x-ray truck conversion (Part 1)

My latest scale modelling project is building a 'Petite Curie' WW1 mobile x-ray truck, converted from an ICM Renault taxi kit. For this, I'm designing and 3D printing parts on my new resin 3D printer, starting with the bits I need to adapt the rear wheels, adding extra tyres and widened rims.

Having researched the original vehicle on the internet, I'll be sharing how I designed the wheel rims and tyres – complete with realistic tread – in Tinkercad, and how I set them up for printing with Lychee slicing software.

As well as a quick run through the printing process, I'll share tips on removing supports and curing my 3D printed parts, before painting and assembling them on the model.

In future videos, I'll be tackling the ornate bodywork panels and other accessories.

Kit:

ICM 1/35 scale "Taxi de la Marne' Renault AG1

Equipment:

Elegoo Mars 4 3D Resin Printer
Elegoo Mercury Plus Wash/Cure Station
Current bundle price: £214, but look out for deals – I paid just over £150 in a Black Friday sale.
