    Comparison video I got the McFarlane figure, pretty good for the price. It's standard Marvel Legends style articulation, with a couple of differences in the joints, but articulation gets hindered by the bulk of the figure. ...didn't realize the chest was upside-down when I took the pic.

    It's possible the issue comes from re-scaling the model. Another factor could be the material they're printing with. Different materials can also affect tolerances. I can adjust the model, but I can only base it on test prints on my end. Although it's possible "just right" will also become "too loose/tight" on another machine.

    Super awesome! There's apparently a lot of shrinkage/expansion when the model's up-scaled - the "negligible" shrinkage on the normal size model got 2.7x worse on the giant print. Room for improvement on future projects, I suppose!

    Cool! I hope it turns out well.

    I have an Origin of Valkyrie version of the heat shield. I could give it a try, but the curved shape will be very tricky to model - flat surfaces are much easier to work with.

    1/55's revisited

    UN_MARINE replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    The restoration project has the weapons so far. They're free to download here: 1/55 GU-11 STL files 1/55 AMM-1 STL files I'm also planning on making "retro" UUM-7 pods, but I'm still not decided on the overall look (something between Yamato v1 + Yamato 1/48, or Imai).

    Thanks! Those look great! Sometimes, I wish I still had the patience to scratch build like that. Great work on the 3D model! They're printed with ABS, and it's working out well so far. Thanks!

    Currently doing R&D with these. Still tweaking the landing gear - they're pretty fragile and finicky to assemble. The paperclip is a key component (and for scale).

    Thanks!

    I got the stuff from a local shopping app. Fairly reliable service, but questionable product origins haha. I wish my printer was the upgrade-able kind, this printer model's nearly 10 years old - "stone age" tech by today's standards.

    Thanks! I have no clue what brand the filament is - they don't even have the decency to put it on the spool label! Printer filament shortage = desperate times it happened to be available (and cheap), so I tried it out. On the bright side, it's pretty durable stuff. Probably great for low-detail or structural prints.

    Re: filament shrinkage/expansion. This guy, for example: The gray filament is a different brand from my usual, and it's horrible with expansion. I printed 2 sets, and I pretty much lost enthusiasm on the second one. I have no doubts if the gray parts were printed in the usual stuff, I'd have 2 ARMDs to attach to the SDF-1 right now.

    The model has 1:1 tolerance. There may be some shrinkage/expansion depending on the filament. The files were "optimized" for an FDM printer, I'm not sure how it behaves with a resin printer. I can send you the STL files as separate pieces, so you can re-orient/layout the parts for better printing. Thanks! I hope it prints successfully on your end.

    The GU-11 is up on Shapeways, for anybody who doesn't have access to a 3D printer and/or patience to "post-process" FDM prints. GU-11 Shapeways (Set screw and spring not included)

    The color guides usually correspond to Mr. Hobby/Gunze paint numbers. For example, H-5 = Blue.

    Thanks! Thanks for the heads-up! I've already started changing names and descriptions on then. Thanks! Thanks! We're pretty much stuck with the digital option for now, shipping and sudden filament shortage are a couple of big roadblocks.

    I pulled some favors, and got us a video! SDF-1 transformation video EDIT: Fixed video link.
  21. UN_MARINE
    That's great! I'm excited to see how it turns out on your end.
  22. UN_MARINE
    Excellent! The largest parts are the Prometheus deck, at 85mm x 37mm x 15mm and the foot parts, at roughly 65mm x 40mm x 22mm.
  23. UN_MARINE
    Cool! Let me know if there are any problems with the files.
  24. UN_MARINE
    Unfortunately, STEP and IGES aren't an option for me - the formats tend to crash my PC (or the processing takes forever). I uploaded the separate STL files in zip/rar archives instead. I hope that's a little more manageable to work with.
  25. UN_MARINE
    Cool! Thanks!
