DX-9 Stormtrooper Transport [X-Wing]

thingiverse

Recut of the DX-9 Stormtrooper Transport model for X-Wing miniatures posted by Astrofossil, now available in a simplified version. Although I can't officially mark this as a remix due to the original being listed "No Derivatives," I'm convinced that LucasFilm/LucasArts/Disney/etc would say something similar about all these copyright infringement cases. This straightforward recut achieves printing the model with no supports on a standard FDM printer, resulting in a nicely printed product with no cleanup needed. The three parts glue together easily, and the back parts line up naturally. A small tab has been added to align the front section. Note that the design itself has the front cab dropped down slightly; this is not an alignment error. Depending on your printer settings, the alignment tab between the front and body might fit very snugly due to being intentionally toleranced tightly. Avoid forcing it! The tab is not super strong and can easily snap off. If they don't slide together easily, trim the matching hole in the front with a hobby knife or sand it with a file to enlarge it just enough for the tab to fit. For using this model in X-Wing, I recommend a small base. The canonical original size is right on the line between large and small ship at 20m (e.g., Firespray is ~21.5m long&wide on a large base, ARC-170 is 22.5m wide on a small base), but I think a large base would make the ship move too fast. The model has a peg hole for a standard small base, and you can also find several to print on Thingiverse, like this one. If you do want to put it on a large base though, I've included a compatible peg and matching slight tweak of rbross' large base to suit. There are couple pilot cards & such around for the DX-9. Mel's Miniatures has one in their PDF but it's for a double length base, the pilot skill doesn't match between card & chit, and they just have one pilot, an Imperial. I recommend toposolitario's packet, which uses a small base and has a couple options for Rebel and Imperial pilots.
