DALEK (TAZ6/Simplify3D)

thingiverse

I created a DALEK design years ago that performed well on the Makerbot, but testing it on the TAZ 6 with Simplify 3D revealed the need for different design parameters. The finer details seemed to get lost in Simplify 3D's rendering, and the weapons consistently fell over when printing with just a brim on the TAZ 6. I've since modified the design to improve its functionality - in smaller models, I've thickened the weapons so they don't topple over, and made other adjustments as needed. At least on my DALEK prototype, the spheres are properly aligned. P.S. Later revisions have mainly focused on scaling down the design, particularly for the 1/3 scale version, which simplifies weapon attachment and adds internal support to the base joint to prevent breakage when printing with materials like carbon fibre.
