Aussie-Pete Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Here is my effort at 3D modelling the RCS. If only I had a 1/12 CSM 1/6th RCS Edited April 17, 2019 by Aussie-Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ralf Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 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 😀 Cheers Ralf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CSM dia would be 325mm Then you need both the Photon and the Prusa for the large parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainObvious Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 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. -co Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SLA costs more than DLP for what benefit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie-Pete Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Update. Have redesigned to print at 1/32 scale So far successfully printed 1 thruster nozzle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie-Pete Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 UPdates. Managed to get all parts printed at 1/32 Still a lot of detail for such a big reduction Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircommando130 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Nice! I like the larger "parts of Apollo" Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie-Pete Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Nothing to apologize for. Many use the term for both. Just true SLA is around double the price of a DLP printer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
