Mandalorian Jetpack moesizzlac Ender 5 Plus remix

thingiverse

When it came to printing my Mandalorian armour my first choice for quality and accuracy was always whatever moesizzlac put up, but I did not enjoy putting together the jetpack. On my first attempt I assembled it before painting. I had a lot of trouble glueing things in place and then my gloss black ran while I was trying to cover the hard-to reach places. I also couldn't get the antennae to fit in the holes On my next attempt I knew I wanted to paint everything separately but was scared I'd get superglue all over the place if I had the same bother as last time. Also, when I put the "Topper" parts in Lychee it glitched and wanted to print a large artefact as a column all through the model. So, I redid the models to suit my Ender 5 Plus and Elegoo Saturn. The jetpack has been halved and will fit on an Ender 5 Plus bed and print without supports. To put the halves together I have added dowels and pocket screws. I've also put in some screw holes at the back and adapted the way the rockets are fitted so that there is no more left and right. This is still a WIP as I'm toying with the idea of incorporating the JJ Industries rocket mounting solution and I also think the next step with the rockets is to be able to add some sort of special effects gizmo. 2023 09 - Added new antennae
