Tie Bomber for Casual X-Wing Gaming

thingiverse

This is a Tie bomber model scaled for casual use in the X-Wing miniatures game. Given the new munitions options, it seemed timely. The model is a derivative of NenZilla's model, which in turn was remixed from ProCoPrint3D's unprintable model. It was then rescaled to fit X-Wing miniatures gaming size, bolstered with strong connections between the body and fins, and enhanced by adding a connector to the bottom that accepts a standard X-Wing peg. The connector snugly fits around the peg stem, securing the model on the base. The raft consists of just a small 0.3mm piece that comfortably fits underneath, providing a solid base for supports. Note: The "angled" version of the model was created solely to improve the appearance of the Thingiverse image; it's not essential. Print Settings: Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Notes: This model is printed using a two-step process in Simplify3D, with an initial 0.3mm layer and subsequent 0.1mm layers. To prevent supports from entering the connector, manual support capabilities are used, and after printing, a small drill bit is employed to clean out the tiny receptacle inside.
