*This build was my first attempt at the Reactor. You can read about how I went about this below, but if you want to skip to the second (and much better) attempt then here is the link to that thread.*
I have finally managed to make the first pieces of my latest project.
The design is based off a set of stl files supplied to me kindly by another rpf user whom I wont name for fear of them being inundated by requests, but if they are reading they know who they are, and thank you again!
I had to remake all the files to make them suitable for a laser cutter, but being able to see each piece individually really did help.
So far I have the pieces for a prototype of the rear heatsink designed and cut.
I also have the pieces for the clear ring, brass rings, vent ring drawn up, but not cut yet.
Still to go are the tri-wing, the transformers and the inner silver ring. These might be better off being 3d printed/turned on a lathe respectively to really finish the piece off with as much accuracy as possible.
Once finished, it should be a very close replica of the auction version RT. Id not go so far as to assign a percentage of accuracy, but to most non prop-obsessed observers it will appear identical.
