Improved Jet Fighter Doorstop

thingiverse

Update 20Aug2019: Another fix, cleaned up where engine nozzles didn't quite connect properly to fuselage. Update 09Oct2018: The doorstop has been well received around work, but one model had vertical stabilizers break off after being kicked into place. I've modified the design once more and added a model with thicker vertical stabs. The new design also follows chunky lines of rest of plane as well. I'm happy with this model. Repetier reports non-manifold but fixes it in about 5 seconds, so I haven't tried to work it out. So I remixed my own model (Is that really remixing or design improvement). I wasn't 100% happy and wanted to make plane a closer resemblance of fighter jet. So I found silhouette image of E18G Growler, and using Inkscape changed it to vector then saved as SVG file. Then in Tinkercad I redesigned shape of wings, vertical stabilators, horizontal stabilators, and extended exhaust nozzles. Much closer to real thing now. Having worked on F18's for 15 years makes me want model to be more approximate of real thing. I've printed some in pink, which stands out when used, also people notice them then. I've also made them in grey close to real life, and it just blends into floor etc. I've found I prefer high viz color.
