Default RE: 3D Printer for Building Tanks

I have my REVIT/AutoCad software fired up and running through the first tutorials. I once owned a company (pre-recession) that was successful in building 3D CAD custom homes prior to construction. It was a great service to the client to walk them through a home that had never been built.

With the 3D print engine, my goal is to build up a rounded turret like on the IS-7. Plus, all the parts and pieces. With the ABS thread, it is similar in strength to a lego. I'll keep posting what I've discovered and how this project works out. It's a pretty amazing concept, - build it in 3D CAD and hit print. A little cleanup, paint and bingo!

If you can create and print this, think what you can do with a tank.
