1/35 SU-122

#T34evolution #Contests #Hostedbycreator

A small remix of @Bavaria_3DTanks's SU-100 Modular Platform: [https://makerworld.com/en/models/2659621-su-100-tank-destroyer-t34-modular-kit-1-35-scale#profileId-2941681](https://makerworld.com/en/models/2659621-su-100-tank-destroyer-t34-modular-kit-1-35-scale#profileId-2941681)

The contest hints that remixes of the T-34 should be redesigns or an evolution, instead of that I did a de-evolution. I present the SU-122.

What was remixed?

The Wheels

Using Bavaria's T-34 platform, I have done lots of changes to the model. I introduced my own road wheels which are based on the early solid-rubber wheels, these road wheels come with the tire part separate to allow the tire part to be printed in TPU, it requires 95A TPU or softer to allow the tire to stretch over the rim. However, if unable to use TPU, or if you have a AMS, there are un-separated road wheels and AMS/Multicolor road wheels respectively.

Casemate and Hull Panels

Another add-on to the T-34 platform was the SU-122 casemate, and the new hull panels, these were designed by me from the ground up to represent the SU-122. However, some design compromises had to be made to make the gun not only moveable and realistic, but also still usable for the T-34 modular platform.

Tracks

The tracks were designed from the ground up, now they are more realistic and accurately represent the unique design of the T-34's tracks.

Recommended Print Settings

Filament: I used Overture's Matte Army Green PLA for the hull/turret/wheel parts, Overture Black TPU 95A for the tires, and Bambu Lab Matte Black PLA for the tracks.
Everything else: refer to Bavaria's model print settings for tips.

Assembly

General

Yellow lines = do not use glue. Blue line = use glue. Glue is needed to install the magnet mounts to the hull panels.

Casemate and Gun

FIRST, attach the gun to the gun ball joint. This will make installing the ball joint into the casemate easier and lessens the possibility of damaging the ball joint itself. MAKE SURE TO INSTALL THE BALL JOINT TO THE GUN WITH THE CORRECT ORIENTATION. THE BALL JOINT SHOULD BE ON THE LOWER HALF OF THE PANEL AS SHOWN.

SECOND, attach the rear panel of the casemate to the rest of the casemate part. Use glue if needed.

THIRD, install the gun assembly from the first step into the casemate. Glue will be needed.

Wheels

Glue is optional when attaching the tires to the rims.

Hull piece

The two pieces (typically labeled “bottom hull part”) are optional and go on the bottom of the hull near the sprocket as shown.
