I'm curious if anyone has tried printing the STL file I posted earlier in the thread?
Hey guys! I'm new to this forum, and just now joined RPF specifically so I could jump into this Flight of the Navigator conversation (though now that I'm here, I have no doubt I'm going to find plenty of other conversations to get excited about).
I stumbled onto this thread after doing a Google search for "Max" from Flight of the Navigator STL's. I grew up watching this movie and still love it, even as a "grown up". I've been 3D printing and designing for almost a year now, so I'm getting to the point where I'm more comfortable tackling some bigger printing projects that mean something to me. I liked the Drone ship STL's already available on Thingiverse (done by unkownhand and The Props Department) but I wanted to see what else was out there and I was really hoping to find a model of Max to print some day. Google brought me here, and I'm stoked.
Matte Painter, your STL of the drone ship is amazing! Thanks for all the work you've put into this! I'm so excited! I love that you worked directly from the wire frames drawings from the control room scene in the movie. I'm still learning 3D design (I'm using Fusion 360) so I can appreciate the amount of time you've spent making the Drone Ship so accurate. I've downloaded the Drone Ship STL and have added it to my print queue. I'm currently working on a Johnny 5 model from Short Circuit and a Delorean from Back to the Future that I need to finish up, but the Drone Ship is next on the list! I'll make sure and report back here as soon as I've had a chance to print it.
Also, let me just tell you how SUPER excited I am about your "Max" model! It looks amazing so far! Thanks for the hard work on that, especially with all of this Covid crap going on. Your Max model is what brought me here to RPF so I've got fingers crossed that you don't lose interest in the project. You're doing the Lord's work. Keep on fighting the good fight
Lastly, have you guys seen the
Puckmarin that McKrats modeled on Thingiverse? I thought he did a great job on that. That guy's on my list as well. I'm starting to think I need to get a second 3D printer...
