Wipeout Assegai

thingiverse

After searching for printable models for my favorite ship from Wipeout and not finding any that I really liked, I found a model extracted from the game, downloaded, imported into thinkercad, fixed it a little bit and split the model in 3 parts for easier printing. I've split the model in 3 files but to avoid printing supports (hate it), I copied the main body inside Cura and printed it in 2 halves like in the attached image. After printing it was just a matter of gluing with cianoacrilate glue (CA glue, super glue). If you don't hate supports or will print in SLA, just print the 3 parts. If someone wants, I can upload the 1 piece model. Mid printing I noticed that the gluing interface for the wings was too small but it worked out fine. If anyone wants I can make the gluing interface different in a way that it will be easier The original model I got was from Nobby76 at https://sketchfab.com (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/wipeout-assegai-0f0013c60472492e800f564093a19271) Printed the 4 parts (like explained above) with supports just for the gluing tabs, perhaps it can be printed without. Only tried printing it at 145% but there is no reason it will not work at 100%. Print time for all parts, 4 walls, 15% infill, 145% scale, assembled model length exactly (10 inches), was around 8 hours with Ender 3 V2 at 50mm/s.
