Yay - I got it! Thanks Santa!

I saw in the news today there was a Jetpack sighting at high altitude caught on video.

So before anyone gets any ideas, please remember:

Thank you so much for the files and the 3D parts. Makes for a great project for
my son...

Thanks gnolivos for the files! I only have a few more parts left but a TON of sanding ahead of me!

How many printers do you have lol and how many spools so far and any tips?

It should take just about 4 rolls. I like use very minimal supports though. I use simplified 3d as a slicer so I place the supports where I want them. So it could be more if you tend to use more supports. I only have one printer I was helping gnolivos with some prints a while back so I was able to get a head start.

Gotcha thanks, I only use supports on over 70 degrees so should be good there and thanks I'm excited. Started on the bottom left tank now. Last question how do you mirror print in simplfy3d that's what I use also so will save me from researching it later.

Its under the Mesh tab. And of course! This is a fantastic model you will love it!

I started a build thread here: Rocketeer Cirrus X3- The Veepy Build

If anyone wants to follow, that way we don't hijack this thread [emoji16]

 

[gnolivos]

Everyone is encouraged to share their builds!
***Please make sure you make a separate thread for your build. ***

Excited to see what you all do with the Veepy mode!

So excited to start on this! I think that all the files downloaded alright and I've placed my order for the small resin parts. I will also be placing an order for the hardware this next week.

Many thanks for this, I’ve been following along with the thread and I’m excited to have a go at building this one! Thanks again and Happy Holidays

Aloha, any advice on orienting/printing the fins? They are driving me mad?!

Loving the build so far

Thanks in advance

Rocketeer Cirrus X3- The Veepy Build

I wanted to share my progress on my Veepy build (Thread here: https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/rocketeer-“veepy”-jetpack-3d-printable-kit-project.331821/) gnolivos did such a fantastic job on this and all for the community (he is making zero profit from this)! This is hands down the most...

it worked for me, 0.12 layer at 35mm/s

came out fine

 

[GarethT]

Problems unzipping files. I am using a Mac, and used safari not chrome. The files downloaded fine and the first two files unzipped with no issues. Files z02 and z03 would not unzip using any program I have. Any suggestions?
