3D printed 1/6th & 1/12th CSM RCS


Recommended Posts

Great work, the engines are very detailed and look really good. Did you model them in Fusion and print them on the Photon?

 

You could model and print a 1/12 scale CSM 😀

Exactly what I was thinking!!!   :yahoo:

 

And you did a terrific job on these bells, both the 3D work and the paint! ... they look GREAT!!

Yep and yep. Fusion using what photos and schematics I could find. Basically an overall dimension dwg is all I could find.
1/12th CSM would be great but far larger than the old Photon can fit. 
CSM dia would be 325mm

Then you need both the Photon and the Prusa for the large parts.

Nice job Pete. Fantastic demo of the potential of the technology for our hobby.
I have an FDM printer but that can't get anywhere close to what you have achieved.

I may have to look into SLA soon.

Thanks CO
Photon is the cheapest out there. SLA costs more than DLP for what benefit?

Beautiful work, Aussie-Pete!  Very impressive!  The printed surface looks so smooth and I love those parts at the top -- just like real mechanical hardware and so smooth too.   What kind of paint did you use?   

Thanks Crackerjazz. REsin printing is far better resolution than FDM. this was printer at .025mm or .25um. Playing with orientation reduces visible lines. Hopefully future prints will have none at all.
Silver is just chrome in a rattle can. simulated heat on bell is alclad hot blue and brass.
