Space Shuttle Orbiter

prusaprinters

<p>Here's one of my makerbot goals for 20XX, a space shuttle! Based on lofting a 3-view, there is some loss of fidelity. Thanks to @matthew_laberge for the red ABS which makes it look AWESOME.</p> <p>There are many parts I'd like to improve, but I remember hearing that creations are never finished, they escape.</p> <h3> Instructions</h3> <p>So this model takes advantage of "tall" prints on the makerbot. It's approx. 125mm in the stl which my machine prints very well. I created some shims that print beneath the wings in order support them. By coincidence, warping under the wings actually<strong> helps</strong> the wings print better.</p> <p>Printed in ABS using 10% fill. My wife produced the .gcode using skeinfox. The defaults printed a nice surface (after some tweaks).</p> Category: Other
