Gauss-tower (28mm)

thingiverse

Hi! This is a request by Crisiinvolo (cover picture is his print and paint job). I modeled it from scratch with CREO, based on pictures. I tried to model every little detail I could see. It was really fun to make. I'm not 100% sure about dimensions and proportions, but it should be okay for 28mm. Everything should be easily printable as oriented, with a few supports where necessary. Print list: 6x foot 2x ark_side + 2x mirror 2x ark_center_V3 1x base 1x tray 2x claw 1x lower pivot 1x upper pivot 1x axis 1x lock 1x crystal - could be probably printed hollow with clear green filament? 1x pedestal A & B 1x crystal top A & B 2x crystal lateral support + 2x mirrored 2x crystal side support + 2x mirrored 2x ark tip 6x pylon arm 2x lateral tube Assembly requires 6mm and 4mm rod. Edit 15/10: A little part was missing in the ark_center part. Uploaded a V2, and the missing part for those who already printed the V1. Edit 16/10/2017: The link parts between base and ark are online! Assembly instructions: Don't glue it! Insert the lower part under the base. Insert the pivot part above the base. Insert the pivot inside. Insert one claw on each side of the ark, and insert the whole on the base. Lock the assembly with the little lock. If necessary, adjust the height of the lock. Edit 17/10/2017: Added crystal and his pedestal and supports. Edit 19/10/2017: Finished! All parts are online! Edit 24/12/2017: Added pylon center V3 (thanks 0000xl for the detail). Edit 11/02/2018: New version for pylon center and ark_side with 4mm holes for alignment pins. Please consider sending tips if you like my printable models. Copyright infringement is not intended.
