trojan_gambit Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Hi Citizens of SDF-1, Just got myself to learn the 3D design software & 3D-print. One of the first practice object is the bastard child of the Macross universe, the VF-2SS. Software is using Sketchup. Printer technology used is FDM (to save budget ), I outsource it to a printing service. I scale the model to 1/60, but I'm not sure whether the measurement is correct (judging from comparison with DX VF-25) Due to my lack of skill, I haven't been able to create printable panel lines, so I'll have to add them manually ... after I smooth out all the FDM's layer lines. Critics & Suggestions are welcomed. Edited January 19, 2017 by trojan_gambit Quote

arbit Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Amazing. The 3D printing age is going to be fantastic. Quote
Kelsain Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Nice job! My wife is planning to set up her Form 2 printer next week. We'll of course, have to "test" it on a few things... I'll have some input deciding what kind of things these are... Quote
MechTech Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 That looks great! I too am having to learn 3D. 2D now has it's limits. Thanks for sharing! Are you using an acetone fog to smooth it over?- MT Quote
Mintox Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Wow nice one. I dont mind this design at all. Quote
NZEOD Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 so perhaps our 1/72 vf-17 and VF-9 Cutlass isnt too far off then? Quote

I haven't think about the next project...but maybe. Quote
archerazor Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Hi mate. Sorry to sound lazy but I have been searching across the Internet for vf-2ss, and I found you...Mind if you could share the 3D model? From Beijing with love. Quote
