Could you tell us more about this project? It looks very good.

This is cool, are you designing your own VF to build as a toy or 3D print?

Hi Shawn, thank you. This little project is one of the six vf designs I’m planning. This is the second design and still a very early prototype in trial and error for parts design. Call it YF and a size of 383.60mm x 285mm x 67.50mm. Close to a 1/48 bandai VF-1. Three modes without swapping parts. Parts printing using phrozen 8k resin printer. As for the prototype, I deactivated the layers of panel linings and some small details. Printed in 0.05 layers of basic aqua resin. Hopefully, next update could bring out a finished assemble test product.

Hi, yes as a toy and to be able to 3d print out.

These look awesome, do you plan to sell/release the STLs?  Or are you going produce them yourself for sale?

properly will release STLs to specific 3D Market sites. For now, i don't have any plans to produce it. I am now trying on all parts fittings, adjusting tolerance in between parts.

a little progress....

[Shawn]

This is insane!

Thank you the updates, I'm enjoying seeing this build progress!

Amazing wrok so far, can't wait to see the final product.

This is like watching an on-line job application for someone applying to Arcadia in their design department

The hands of VF gods at work. Love that it started with fighter mode first.

Thanks, man; it's still incomplete and can't be uploaded to any 3D marketplace any sooner ....

[Knight26]

341 pieces, dang hope you are also putting together some robust instructions.  Looking awesome though.

This is looking awesome

[twich]

It looks rather large, what scale are you aiming for? This is great work! I wish I had the money, time and ability to print and build something like this! Can’t wait for more updates!

I'm guessing 1:48 based on the ejection seat and cockpit.
