More on the Moonliner.

I managed to figure out the problems with my larger nozzle. I just had to turn up the heat and thicken up the layer height to 0.36mm. The layer lines are much more noticeable, but for something that will be post processed by resin, it's not really a concern.

Due to "space" concerns. I've decided to display the the vehicle in flight mode.

Below are two quarters of my moon base. The chunkiness (facets) of the print is apparent. But no worries there, since I'll probably use plaster of paris on top, to cover up the layer lines and mould the terrain. Afterwards, if there doesn't seem to be enough texture, I'll use a granite texture spray paint like Rustoleum or Krylon to create some visual interest. I hollowed out the base and will fill it up with the plaster in order to give it some weight, as it has to hold up quite a large model and not allow it to topple. I'll cover up the bottom with some styrene, then a felt pad.

Inspiration came from this photo.

I walk past these everyday and forgot I’d made them.

I put the files for this without Han as that was an eBay purchase on thingyverse.

the informas mark 1 spinner that took 5 years that one day I will approach remaking.don’t ask.

Lockdown project that I sent to my friends Chris Nolan has one in his office.

and the obvious ongoing project filling my days at the moment.

You forgot about the Spinner?? How dare you flimzy, how dare you!

Nice work there, Flimzy. Was the Jumanji box cut by a CNC router? It looks so much like wood.

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered myself a printer. After I hit pay I realized I had no idea what I may want to print. After work today I started a Batmobile. I always wanted a big model of it. I had a nearly finished model a few years back, but it was on a work pc and we wiped it with me thinking I had it on a thumb driv. Anyway it’ll take me a while to dowel it up but here’s the start.. I am a real time artist by trade so sub-d is my go to, not great for the stuff I want to print ease of modeling wise but it’s what I know!

 

[Fett_Ish]

Dis some more work today. Hopefully I can have it done by the time I get my printer.

After a lot of sanding and priming, I have The Moonliner to this point. Big sucker. The base is finished.

Great model Taz...I wonder if that could be transformed into the Tintin rocket?

I don't think it would be that hard to design that.

I've been working on the Jules Verne Time Train for a loooooong time. 3D printed a lot of parts, but recently got some upgraded printers. I'll finish the physical model someday (soon, I hope)

Starting to work the details. I made some changes to the very front after this shot but this is pretty close to where it is. Tomorrow I hope to split the front section off. I am hoping to print it to be about 2 feet long. Not sure if I want to deal with making an interior or not. Taz if you want me to take this into its own thread lmk. My printer gets here Saturday but I won’t be ready with this until next weekend. The build isn’t helped by the fact that my references are everything from promo shots to replica builds to Hottoys version.

Looking good already

Well, with my lack of 3-D printing knowledge/services around...I'm going to have to ask someone to print it for me

I searched Yeggi.com and found a few free printable models out there. One artist even designed one scaled to life size and said that the user would have to scale the 55 meter high model to fit their printer. But at least it is accurate.

I don’t think I’ll design one when there is already a great model out there available for free. Mind you it might not be properly segmented to be printed properly.

Initially, I wasn't going to make it, but I realized that most aren't really meant to be printed large scale and weren't very accurate, so I designed my own. Plus, mine will work with my moon display base I made for the Moonliner.

Quick work Tazman. I really gotta grok some CAD! Getting the details put in. Lots of adjustments as I go, just trying to get the lines right before I ad panel lines and vents/compartments.

I can recreate objects of a more "mechanical" design, but stuff with complex curves eludes me with the simple software that I use. I'm going to have to learn Moi or something.

Some fine work with your sculpting. Since you've designed this before but lost your files, do you think you've done a better job now than before? Most times when I lose my old work, I find that it was a good thing, because the new work is better than the previous.
