3D model description

This is a set of files to allow 3d printing of a full set of tyres to replace the vinyl tyres supplied in the Takom 1/72nd scale M1070 HET kit, and also the tyres in the included M1000 trailer. This will fit the 5002 and 5002X boxings.
The tractor tyres should also fit the forthcoming 5019 guntruck boxing.

The vinyl tyres included in the kit are lacking detail and are difficult to sand and weather. Also the vinyl material can react with the plastic hubs over time, causing them to melt. I know as this happened to me, which is why I created these files.

M1070
The tyres, plus an inner and outer hub are provided. Print 8 of each.
The hubs halves need to be pressed into the tyre.
A spare tyre and separate hub are also included. Print 1 of each.
The main tyres feature a subtle compression and sidewall bulge to simulate a weighted vehicle. The flat spot is the supported side.
There are 8 different versions of the tyres provided, giving the sidewall text in a different position relative to the flat spot.

M1000
These tyres are provided with a subtle compression to simulate a weighted trailer. Print 40 of these.
A round spare tyre is also provided. Print 2 of these.
The kit wheel hubs are used with these tyres. Press from each side. I use super thin CA glue to secure.
If you would prefer perfectly round tyres on the trailer, print 40 of the file indicated as the spare.

3D printing settings

Intended for resin printing only. I have successfully printed on an Anycubic Mono X with a 47 micron pixel size. I recommend 20 micron layer thickness for best detail, with other settings to suit your resin and printer combination.
