3D parts for the Hasbro Black Series Snowspeeder

[TazMan2000]

The toy is a pretty good representation of the actual filming model, however, it is still a toy. Here is some things I am working on that can make improvements to those who wish it.

The cannons have a cut out section at the bottom that is really evident when viewed sideways. Attached to this message is an STL that can make it look better, by using a 1/2 inch brass tube to match the length of the part included with the toy.

These were modelled using the Hasbro parts as a reference. If you have suggestions to make the parts look closer to the Studio Model, feel free to post.

Thanks Taz. Any luck on Canopy?

Thanks Taz. Any luck on Canopy?

I haven't done the canopy yet. It doesn't seem too hard if I don't include all the inside greeblies. I'm wondering if it would be better to model it as an entire assembly, or in pieces where it would have to be glued together. I guess someone could always slice it up in meshmixer to ensure that their printer could handle it.

The canopy was a bit more difficult to do. I used a micrometer for measurements but shrinkage when printing/curing may cause a dimensional problem, or an issue with fit. Shrinkage won't be linear.

The skin is about 3mm thick, to ensure strength. It looks a bit thick but I'm afraid to go thinner because the flimsiness could result flexing, cracking, or bending.

Let me know I have various resins I could try.

Here you go. Good luck. I'm wondering if I should model the bottom part of the canopy...the stuff that ensures it fits in the grooves of the cockpit and locks in place.

*****Edit***** Hold off on downloading. Still improving design.

How about also doing the rear part of the cockpit?

Great work TazMan2000 and TFS with us!

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I made cut outs for the windows, which would make the canopy appear thinner on the outside, and yet not compromise rigidity too much. Also, it would allow someone to glue clear plastic inside and hide the marks.

Hello TazMan, can't wait to print them up for my snowspeeder. Thank you very much.
Cheers,

Even better!

My mono X is down right now. Can anyone slice this in half at a good spot so it will fit on a mars pro 2

If anyone has the thing torn apart....I need the measurements for the rear canopy...noted on a picture if possible.

This sounds personal and I feel you should speak with your Doctor immediately before taking action.

Fwiw I have Aspergers. Any and all attempt at humor or sarcasm is likely lost on me.

That's okay. It was not that funny.

Top view. Not much difference. Perhaps the taper of the barrel on the left has to be adjusted.

When looking at it on the side, you can see the benefit.
