It's time for another 3D printed project, this time around it's a 1:24 scale B-Wing. While I realize that the exact scale is always up for debate from model to model, the research I have done and input I have already received from members here is the B-Wing was really a 1:35 scale or around there, I am no expert on these by any stretch of the imagination. However, I have recently finished both my 1:24 X-Wing and TIE, so for me, it's more important that this fits with those other models.
This is my son's favorite ship. I am thinking about building this and my Bandai side by side so that I can compare the two models.
I also have on had a new .25 nozzle for my Prusa Mini and I am going to experiment and see what the limits of my printer are. It will go all the way down to .05, and with that new smaller nozzle I am looking to get some better prints for the really fine detailed parts like the cockpit. Or it will just be a big blob, only time will tell!
The other change I am making is that the few larger parts that will not fit on my printer I am just slicing in half... In my last few builds, a few items were not able to fit onto the printer so I used a larger printer that I have access to at my work. This time around I will try to improve my awful putty skills and hopefully make the seams disappear
Without further ado, here are the first items that have already come off the printer.
