M109A6 Paladin Self-Propelled Howitzer STL 3D Print Model

The M109A6 Paladin is the United States Army’s primary self-propelled 155mm howitzer, widely regarded as one of the most capable modern artillery systems in service. This highly detailed 3D model captures every key feature of the vehicle, including the long barrel with muzzle brake, armored turret, commander’s cupola with M2 machine gun, rear ammunition bustle, twin radio antennas, track assemblies with drive sprockets and road wheels, and hull stowage details. Ideal for tabletop wargaming, dioramas, scale modeling, and military vehicle enthusiasts, the model is provided in STL format ready for 3D printing. Multiple views — front quarter, side profile, rear quarter, rear elevation, and opposite quarter — confirm an exceptionally high level of geometric accuracy and surface detail throughout.

Print settings

FDM printing is suitable for larger-scale prints (1:35 or bigger) using PLA or ABS at 0.1–0.2 mm layer height; resin (MSLA/DLP) is strongly recommended for capturing fine surface details such as bolt heads, vision blocks, and track links at smaller scales. Print the hull and turret separately with the flat hull bottom face-down to minimize supports; the barrel should be printed horizontally with tree supports under the muzzle brake. An infill of 15–20% is sufficient for display models; increase to 30%+ if assembling a structural tabletop piece. Light sanding and primer are advised before painting to reveal the full surface detail.
