![]() The back landing gear didn't resist so well after the fifth handling. I made this jet thinking in accommodate one action figure, but I had to print it in a smaller scale. The axles have to be thick enough for resist the movement without breaking, regardless of the scale of your project when you print it. Axles size: Be careful when you design the mobile parts.(NOTE: In some pictures of this instructable you will see I'm working in one half, then I switch to the entire jet, then I switch back again to the half view, just for checking how it's working) If I had known this when I made the Transformer, I had ended it in half of the time, with more details and less "goboteness". Select the half you made and then select the line. Make half of the jet in one side of the line. But It was a very educational experience. I have to be honest: the final result didn't fulfill my expectatives. ![]() ![]() In case of failure of the mobile parts, the result had to be awesome enough for justifying the printing. The idea was to explore how to make a few mobile parts (in this case, the cockpit and the landing gear) already assambled to the 3D printed object. So, I decided to try making a concept jet fighter. I'm still astonished by the unlimited possibilities in this matter. You know, I'm still a rookie in this CAD and 3D printing thing and I'm learning by myself most of the time. My answer was "WHAT? YOU CAN PRINT STUFF ALREADY ASSEMBLED? Wooooooooooow.". Seven weeks ago, when I finished my first 3D printed project (the Transformers/GoBots unintentional crossover), Eric told me "Good job! Have you tried to printed it already assembled?", or something like that. ![]()
