GOODesign is a design studio established in Seoul, Korea by a representative who has been active in product design and 3D CG field for 20 years. As a design company that pursues a reasonable and differentiated digital design, it has always presented a new direction through working with clients such as Hyundai Motor, Siemens Korea and beiersdorf. This time, we have put out the life product for 3D printing by utilizing various technique design based on the shape of the Class-A surface. These products are especially the result of deep research on the 3D printing dominant shape that can not be mass-produced using a mold.
The M1A2 Abrams tank had many requests from customers, and I wanted to make it too, but its shape and structure made it difficult to design in my style (Print-in-place articulated). The difficult parts were solved by printing a few main parts, including the turret, separately.
When making the body by folding, make sure to check the positions of the holes and protrusions before making the body.
It is better to use a rubber material such as TPU for the tires of the wheel.
It is recommended to attach the parts attached to the turret after understanding the photos and locations.
If the wheel does not rotate well, apply sewing machine oil or grease to it and it will roll well.

Is anyone having issues printing the tracks? I have good bed adhesion, but the tracks fall apart very easily when I remove them from the build plate...they do not stay assembled as a track should and instead of having four sets of tracks, I have a bunch of little pieces that I would have to assemble and probably super glue to get them to stay together....kind of defeats the purpose of moving tracks.
Tengo muchos problemas al imprimir las cadenas (caterpillars) siempre salen mal impresos y ademas son muy dificiles de colocar y si se colocan muy fuerte se rompen los dos soportes de los costados, algun tip para mejorar esa impresion. Pd mi impresora es una bambulab cx1
I guess your build bed adhesion is not good.
To improve bed adhesion,
1. apply special chemistry(stick glue or hair gel, etc)
2. change filament
3. change build bed to PEI bed.
It all printed well except for the asset gun_mantlet.stl. Every time I try and print that I get a spaghetti monster.
Challenging test prints with lots of overhangs, bridging, etc... work great on my Prusa MK3S+, so I'm a bit stuck. Any tips?
Try cleaning the printing surface with a wettex, there may be dust or fingerprints that don't allow the first layer to be stable and may sometimes move along with the nozzle.
Could you do a Leopard A5? I'd love to print that one!
I’ve bought and printed many models from here and they have all been great. My only gripes are the road wheel tolerances were a bit loose so they come off easy and the tracks sections were hard to snap together and not break the little ears off of them so they stay together when moved. Other than that, great model
It's true that the tolerance is wide enough to allow the wheels to roll well. However, if you attach the Armored skirt, it will prevent the wheel from coming off. That's why once you're done, you're unlikely to lose a wheel.
And since the wheel is placed on the track's bump, the wheel won't come off easily if the armored skirt and the track's bump work together.
Thank you for purchasing FAB365 designs.
La cadena es corta y al hacer fuerza se ha roto un soporte, dinero tirado y tiempo-
PD.: Lo pude solucionar con un tornillo, y alargando la cadena con un eslabón mas.
The problem with the track, which can be seen from your picture, is that the length of the track was short because it had to be hung on the wheels after all the parts of the track had been made to move smoothly.
In this state, if you try to force the track onto the wheel, the wheel will break or the track will come off.
After moving it by hand so that all parts of the track move well, hang it on the wheels.
Thank you~
Thank you~
A little help. I'm color blind so can you tell me what color filament you used for the main tank and the tracks?
We used Military Khaki color.
Haven't printed this yet, but as a former M1A1 gunner, ect., I will definitely be doing that.
Couple questions. Would you consider an optional TC hatch that's open instead of closed? Also, there isn't a .50 cal for the TC. I imagine it would be pretty flimsy but just wanted to throw it out there.
If you have a design you would like to request, please leave a picture and description on the request page.

Thank you~
