3D model description

This is the first model of three for the USAF GLCM series.
Transporter Erector Launcher- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4576098
Launch Control Center- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4581602

The USAF mobile Ground Launched Cruise Missile was developed as a counter to the mobile medium- and intermediate- range ballistic nuclear missiles deployed by the Soviet Union in Eastern Bloc European countries. The USAF GLCM and the US Army's Pershing II were the incentives that fostered Soviet willingness to sign the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF treaty), and reduced the threat of nuclear wars in Europe. It was deployed during 1983 and fully removed from service by 1991. I served as an assistant flight chief assigned to the 487th Tactical Missile Wing at Comiso Air Station, Sicily.

This is the M1014 High mobility MAN KAT1 8x8 Truck-Tractor manufactured in the 1980s by the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg - Nuernberg. This was modeled after the paper model that I designed of this vehicle. The V-10 diesel engine MAN trucks share the MAN D-2840 V10 400hp turbo-diesel engine coupled to the MAN ZF4S-15GP 6-spd transmission and an 8x8 chassis with two steerable axles. It could travel over the highway or off road.

For the MAN Tractor, you will need to print the following:
1 x MAN 3D V2
8 x MAN Wheel V1

The models are real world size to make it easier to print to a desired scale.

A friend printed this and let me know his print settings:
Printer - Creality Ender-3 printer using specs for an ender-3 pro for more build volume.
Slicer - Ultimaker Cura 4.6.1
Filament Inland PLA + 1.75 mm Brown
Nozzle 0.4
Infill 20 percent

Temp 200 head and 60 bed
Tree supports
I use a skirt for all prints

Added V2 which has thicker ladders, etc.
