This is a tank shaped z-axis motor visualizer for Prusa Mini+ with an  articulate turret.
My Prusa Mini looked like a tank after the base upgrade, so I thought it would be cool to add a battle tank visualizer. 

This base design is from thingiverse here:

I resized it to fit the Prusa mini z-axis and modified it so that the turret can rotate freely.

I printed it with same orientation as in the stl file with no supports at 0.2 mm layer height.

The material is Overture's grey PLA.

Assembly instructions:

The turret gun just snaps in to the turret and you can adjust it's angle.

I used some hot glue to add a small magnet to the base of the turret.

There is no need to stick the tank body to the z-axis motor, but you can use some very thin two sided tape if you like.

I just positioned the base over the z-axis motor and just slid in the turret assembly.
