UN_MARINE Posted September 14, 2019 Author Posted September 14, 2019 I adjusted the canopy part so it installs better - the canopy will slide right in, after the control tower halves are secured together, no more need to trap it inside before painting. Looks like it'll go together with minimal effort, except for the "snap-of-doom" in the hip segment. We'll know for sure as soon as the new test prints are done. Quote
UN_MARINE Posted September 23, 2019 Author Posted September 23, 2019 Just finished printing v1.5! Quote
UN_MARINE Posted September 24, 2019 Author Posted September 24, 2019 Here's what 134(+1) parts looks like. The +1 part is a a red canopy, for the classic Takatoku look. Quote
UN_MARINE Posted September 25, 2019 Author Posted September 25, 2019 Version 1.5 is standing! (Red canopy) Needs a couple of minor adjustments, then it should be good to go! Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted September 25, 2019 Posted September 25, 2019 Why are you not selling these? They really look incredible! Quote

Digital distribution seems like the easiest way to go, but I'm willing to print & ship to anybody who wants one*.

navratilova Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 ok, where can i buy the files? or can you print it as well? how big this baby can be print? Quote

It can be scaled up or down. In theory, you can print one that's 5 feet tall, if you had the resources to do it. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 @UN_MARINE, this is some amazing work! Very impressive. If I had any Joke machines, I would totally want one of these. Quote

UN_MARINE Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 Quick update: Looks like version 1.5 is pretty much debugged. I've started doing the layout work for the STL files. These should comfortably fit in a 140mm x 140mm print bed. RMBO (Read Manual Before Operation) to follow soon after the print files are done. Quote
coronadlux Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Wow. That's a lot of parts. Nonetheless, I'm still itching to print it. Quote

navratilova Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 ok, i'll be waiting anxiously for it. from all the SDF-1s 3D prints i have seem, yours is the best one! Quote
navratilova Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 does your model has the extra truster? Quote

MechTech Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 This model looks great! I'm not into SD models, but yours looks great! Nice clean engineering too. - MT Quote

navratilova Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 any chance you could make the main cannons a bit longer? they always appear super long in the series Quote
UN_MARINE Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 Here's a look at the RMBO. The layout process might take a while (been swamped at work lately), but it's still chugging along. Â Â On 10/16/2019 at 12:43 PM, navratilova said: any chance you could make the main cannons a bit longer? they always appear super long in the series I think the cannon proportions are OK. It's SD after all. Quote
navratilova Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 dude, stop with the teasing and let us get the files. just kidding you doing an amazing work!!!! Quote
navratilova Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 pipe holder, any news on the file release of your SDF-1 joke machine? we haven't heard nothing from you in months Quote

It'd be like me calling you cannon fodder vs navratilova. It's only been a month since his last post and he stated he was busy at work so I'd just wait. Edited November 25, 2019 by wmkjr Quote

Member's names are located above their rank in bigger font on desktop. Seen it happen many times usually with new members and may get confusing when there are members replying with the same rank in the thread. A perfect example would be UN_MARINE, ScrambledValkyrie, coronadlux in the posts above. At this time, all the same rank and right next to each other. Edited November 26, 2019 by wmkjr Quote
UN_MARINE Posted December 5, 2019 Author Posted December 5, 2019 Quick update: Even with the "instant-ness" of the software, this is still a lot of work! Quote
UN_MARINE Posted December 8, 2019 Author Posted December 8, 2019 The RMBO is done (I think). The files are out in the wild. Feel free to message me for the link. Quote
UN_MARINE Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 Oh, right - the download host adds 3% to transactions, so it ended up at $45.50 for the files. Quote
UN_MARINE Posted December 17, 2019 Author Posted December 17, 2019 Holiday pricing adjustment: Now only $39.00! Joke Machine SDF-1 3D files  I also included a separate model for the canopy, in case anybody wants to print it on clear/translucent material. Quote
navratilova Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 i just bought the file, can i print it bigger than 9 inches? Quote

Yes, if the printer bed is big enough, you can scale the models up. just remember to scale all the models to the same ratio. Quote
UN_MARINE Posted March 21, 2020 Author Posted March 21, 2020 Potential upgrade/option kit in progress. Simple carrier swap. Quote
