While waiting for paint to dry on my M1083 Prime Mover and M777A2 build, I started a full 3D printed build. I bought a set of files for an M58 MICLIC with tracks on Cults3D from the same designer who did the M149 Water Buffalo I built a while ago. He has a bunch of great files to buy at reasonable prices.

I failed to take any in-progress pics, but here are a couple from the CAD.
Everything is 3D printed with the exception of the air lines and brake cable which are 1/24 spark plug wire, the chain, and the cable from the rocket to the charges which is gunmetal-colored sewing thread. It comes in about 25 separate parts to print. The parts fit perfectly. I also made all the decals myself in .PPT on my home printer.
Here it is.
I eventually plan to add it behind an Engineer M113A3 in OIF 1…eventually. Or I’ll just print up another kit and leave this as a stand alone piece.
I am really enjoying these small 3D printed trailers. They are quick and easy and pretty cheap too. They come out great and are full of details.
