Very cool. That is looking slick! And I can't imagine how much more lightweight that is going to be.

What are you using to smooth your parts?

Okay... Now that I'm back from salt lake comic con and fully rested, it's back to work time. I started sanding, filling and priming pieces in addition to printing up more parts.

Good old fashioned elbow grease. Gonna wet sand with 220 grit, then filler primer and more sanding.

Started adding Sintra panels to fill in the gaps. The file is very good but not 100% accurate, so traditional fabrication is gonna have to happen for some areas.

Still needs more filler here and there but it's starting to really take shape

Ok... Back to work. I'm working on multiple projects right now, plus I'm a full time student, full time worker, and full time fiancé to my sweetheart. She supports my hobby too but during the holidays it feels like my days off are either dedicated to wedding prep or something else. Anyhow, I was able to add some more free form air to the back side to fill in a low spot. I also started to use glazing putty in the areas that were still a bit shallow. Now I'm off to work, and with some luck, I can get some more progress done tomorrow, my day off.

Still working on this guys. Don't worry. I'm just in transition while my wife and I close on our 1st house together.

Just stumbled upon this thread and thank the lord I did. I was also put off by that $1000 price tag and have been wanting one of these since I saw the film.

Had some delays on my end, but I finally have the model from the artist, and it's very good. I started printing a couple of days ago. Glad you're making progress and congrats on the house!

I plan on taking a slightly different approach than you (after already printing the entire left booster...). I'm going to slice up the files, duplicate, and merge them to make a complete printable booster without having to fabricate.

Well, I started to design the new radiator because the one Dan designed, was inaccurate.

I did the same, but I used Dan's part as a base and modified it in 123D Design.
