Fallout 4 Mini Nuke Container

thingiverse

After finding and printing a solid mini nuke model that I was happy with, designed by Lilykill on MyMiniFactory (https://www.myminifactory.com/object/fallout-4-mini-nuke-16886), I decided to turn it into a container. To do this, I modified the design to make it hollow and added a screw-on lid. The assembled size of the mini nuke is approximately 201mm tall and 103mm wide. I completely forgot to include the body dowels when uploading, but they are now included in the updated version. To print this model, I used my Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 printer with the following settings: * Printer brand: Wanhao * Rafts: No * Supports: Yes (only needed for the container cap) * Resolution: 0.2mm * Infill: 15% I printed the fins and fin brackets separately, but all other pieces were printed together. After printing, I made it look nice by masking off the threads on the container. Then, I sanded it with 80 grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough spots. Next, I sprayed one coat of filler primer onto the surface. After that, I sanded it again with 120 grit sandpaper and applied another coat of filler primer. Finally, I sanded it once more with 320 grit sandpaper and painted on a base color. To attach the fin brackets to the outer ring, I used M2 bolts (16x). However, finding the right size and style of bolts for the body of the nuke was tricky, so I ended up modeling and printing my own. If you can find them in stores, the correct bolt sizes are (8x) M3, (8x) M4, and (6x) M5. All of my modifications to the original model were done using 123D Design software.
