Lupusprimus Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 I worked on the central gear for a long time. That's what it looked like after the first attempts: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupusprimus Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Why is there always this stupid message "You are only allowed to upload 102.4kb." if I want to upload more pictures? Can someone change that? Or what am I doing wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can someone change that? Or what am I doing wrong? It's a limitation of the forum. The pics have to be either from a image hosting website, or really really light/lite/small/low density.

Lupusprimus Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 @BrittMac: Thank you for that information. Unfortunately, photobucket.com doesn't work anymore. After several intermediate steps and changes it now looks like this: It consists of more than 650 parts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Incredible your work Lupusprimus. Optionally, it could use the container that the S-64 carries to hide the mechanics in it. In this case could be done up in 1/72? ... At 1:32 will you make your carry such a container? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupusprimus Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 No, the large container is not currently planned. The water tank is underneath and everything that would otherwise disturb disappears. If necessary, this container could also be made as a mould. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupusprimus Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 And this is how the 3D part looks printed "smoothed". 65 mm wide, 27 mm high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupusprimus Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) From the first foil parts and 3D printed parts a P(rototyp) 1 was created. The foil is only held together with adhesive tape Tesa, which is sufficient for this purpose. The cross beam is used to hold the weight. Here the installation of the mechanics is tried out. 3D printed main rotor blades and tail rotor were made here on left run. The central gearbox was printed for testing with a cheap printer.

Lupusprimus Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 The mechanics used are components of the Blade 230S, in particular the AR636. The 70 mm gear is replaced by one of the blade 200 (60 mm). Because of the height of the central gear a longer rotor shaft is needed. The rotor head is 3D printed and already successfully used with CH-53 and SA 321 Super Frelon. The components are converted to a special variant of the multichassis for the 230S.

Lupusprimus Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Parallel to other works I started to build the water tank of the Forestale version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lupusprimus Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 The lines and other assemblies were drawn in 3D and printed "smoothed". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupusprimus Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Paint it, decals on it, then the lines. That's how it looks at the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lupusprimus Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 For what? Model making? I do nothing else for half a day. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AD-4N Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 My goodness. I look at these pictures of computer drawings and 3D printing whatnots and my mouth is just agape. I feel like my 8 year old granddaughter looking into a 1/48 Tamiya F-14A box and going "Huh?" This is a level of modeling I cannot grasp. Amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupusprimus Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Yes, a lot has developed over the last few years. But the important thing here are suppliers like Shapeways, who can achieve a surface quality in "smoothed" resin printing that cannot be achieved with simple devices.

Lupusprimus Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Construction of the P(rototyp) 2 begins. All fuselage parts are cut from the foil. Edited December 9, 2018 by Lupusprimus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupusprimus Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Carbon rods of 2.5 mm are glued into the corners of the fuselage. This serves to reinforce the fuselage over its length. In the back a part looks out, there the rear part is glued. That's not otherwise necessary. But this is a relatively long AND narrow fuselage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
