Sandtrooper V75 Radio

pinshape

While building my sand trooper costume, I encountered the frustrating lack of available print files. As a novice at modeling, I'm sure there's room for improvement in my work, but it appears to be a solid foundation. Assembled_radio_face is the entire front panel with buttons. I wouldn't recommend printing this, but it's included if you want it. Radio face and radio back are the main components of the radio. I printed these at 0.2mm layer height, then printed the buttons separately on my SLA printer (or at least at 0.1mm on the FDM). Print Settings Printer: Folgertech TF5 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: see below Notes: This model is designed for a large format printer. If your print bed is less than 12x12, you'll need to divide the file using netfab/meshimixer/any other tool you prefer. I printed the face and back at 0.2mm layer height, 80mm/s, and the buttons at 0.1mm height, 60mm/s (with outlines slowed to 60% speed in Simplify 3D). The result is a print that didn't require much effort to smooth out and clean up. Post-Printing Cleanup You'll need to smooth out the print lines. In my opinion, it's too much detail for an epoxy coat, so I think sanding + glazing putty is the way to go. How I Designed This Designed in Onshape I gathered reference images of real radios and made my best effort at measurements. I notice some flaws, but nothing significant enough to be worth correcting right now. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3858f7e10de725629ab0124c/w/d9b029c218a264fe326993f6/e/19ddc23b7e53ee396ed3f122
