3D model description

1/35 scale track links for Sd.Kfz.251 and Sd.Kfz.11 series.
Includes separate inner and outer track pins.
Fits Dragon kits directly. For AFV kit, you will need to remove some material from sprocket wheel, where guide horn goes. This hole, along with guide rollers is molded non symmetrically on their kits, therefore it must be modified to fit correct shape and scale track links.

3D printing settings

Print @20 to 25 micron steps. Position at angle to the build plate (at least 20 deg). If using auto-supports, use small at 90% density or higher. Support settings small, contact shape - none, contact depth - 0.1, contact diameter 0.15-0.18. Dont forget to add supports to handles, brackets etc (look at pictures of printed model).
I have printed them at various orientations successfully. Track pins are conical, and are designed for snug fit. However, due to nature of 3D printing, geometry of the holes highly depends from resin used and printing settings. Therefore, holes might need some cleanup.
I chose to use many small supports, as they are easy to remove, and cleanup. Big supports equals to big blob to remove, and this is not fun with small parts.
