Foldable Tiger tank early/131, Version 2 print on Crealitys

STL- https://fab365.net/items/426
The first folding tank I designed, the Tiger, was a huge hit. However, it was the first time I made a tank with a folding design, so there was a bit of a disappointment. However, while designing several tanks, these parts were improved, and as a result, new tanks made with the improved design also gained popularity.
Numerous customers who have seen this have requested that the improvements be applied to the Tiger tank, the first folding tank, to be remade. In order to respond to that request, we have now created the Tiger tank version 2.0.
And this Foldable Tiger 2.0 version refers to Tiger 131, one of the previous models.

The difference between the previous Tiger tank version 2.0 and the previous version 1.0 is as follows.

1. The structure of the track has been changed to improve the design in a form much closer to reality. Compared to the previous 1.0 version, you will feel the huge difference.
2. I changed the way to print and fit the wheels separately. The wheel of version 1.0 had the advantage of being easy to print at once, but the shape was very different from the actual one. However, this time by allowing the wheels to be printed separately, it has been improved to be much more realistic.
3. A cleaner result can be obtained after completion by removing the front living hinge.
4. Improved to print and attach pipes/hoses separately on the back. These parts partially cover the parting lines, so a more complete result can be obtained.

I received a great response from the makers with my foldable design, so I was able to continuously develop foldable design techniques. So things that seemed impossible at first are now possible little by little, and 3D printing seems to be getting more fun and fun. According to your continuous response, I will make a better design and will not stay at version 2.0, but will develop to 3.0, 4.0, etc.

Thank you~
Please enjoy~
