Harnesses for Space Marine type Drop Pod

thingiverse

This drop pod won't accommodate older models, unfortunately. They will, however, fit in the upgraded version I have available here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:446893. It's practically my last thing left to organize before completing my collection. I'm just waiting on photos so that I can give it a "in progress" tag. Please take a look at these instructions - they'll come in handy for anyone making use of this drop pod: Instructions These instructions are specifically tailored to go along with the upgraded drop pod I've got listed here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:446893. You're going to need five pairs total to have a full set; don't feel obligated to print that many, however! The STL files include these pairs which must be stuck back-to-back with glue after being printed. Here's where it all comes together: * A notch fits perfectly over the control column while the other end wraps around inside the fin. * It's just enough of a touch on the bottom that it grazes against the curved portion of the fin. Now, when it comes to printing them out - here are my specifics: I used high quality print settings (1mm layer height) in batches of twelve with six pairs per batch and printed using ABS plastic. Even at such high resolution, you can barely make out an eagle emblem embedded somewhere within. The design has got a bit of versatility to it; check this stuff out: * The Umbilical variation: There are actually two versions for those of you who want to try plugging a bit of spare filament into the little holes after they've dried. Maybe only stick some of these bits onto your fin or leave 'em empty altogether and use 'em as extra greebles! You also have an option to strip out a few harnesses, if you need a better view on things. Included within are a pair of special supports which let the back do its thing without printing a whole new set - all these support parts came in handy for when I first designed 'em! Let's discuss what we've got: General Print Guidelines There was some tinkering done with the STL files after the design was laid out to fix a problem and get 'em print-ready. However, something went haywire with the original SketchUp file so there was a need for repairs. Turns out, my sketch software isn't keen on handling those tiny bits that get used within such complex 3D modeling tasks. Since I had started messing around in .1x scaling prior to export it only became bigger by then! The solution now seems so apparent after trying different fixes; save all large designs as a .dae, use SketchUp when designing new and just work up with what your 3d model's asking for. Anyway enough with me bickering over some things. Check this link: L3-G0 - my little home full of amazing future endeavors including models made just like you'd buy. Don't worry I really got a grip on it so even those who aren't exactly skilled will end up successful when doing stuff with me, the rest just need that bit of fine-tuning! If what I came out here wanting would happen I must appreciate the encouragement: if L3-G0.com receives many visits we may just get where were all striving to go that much quicker, and my things could just keep going forward because you people make them a part. Every word really matters, and so I can put some love right in those areas we should always focus on which really matter; but if for once everything just seems like smooth sail and progress continues moving fast with every tweet and comment... Thanks in advance for whatever support will show us down the way!!
