General 3D Printing Recommendation
- Layers thickness: 0.1mm will give a print quality similar to injection molding. 0.15mm layers will still give a decent looking model.
- Support options: Important! Choose options on your printer that allow the easiest support removal. Options varies from printers to printer, and depends on material: Choose the best one for your printer, use smaller parts as test
- Soluble Support: Not needed. Single extruder printer will suffic
- Heated bed and enclosure are strongly recommended for good part quality if printing with ABS.
- Glass bed and raft recommended for consistent quality
- Current version of the files may differ slightly from the pictures.

This model was my first purchase from 3dwargaming. Up till then, I hadn’t thought a tank model could 3d print to a quality level I’d be happy with (scenery yes, tanks / miniatures no).
The Tiger changed my mind completely – through the clever way it is constructed, there are very few print artefacts in the final model. It also has a robustness on the table that a typical plastic model doesn’t have – I can’t recommend this model enough, it’s fantastic.
