SaturnV : scale 1:33 (3D-Printed)

[Chriske]

We'll also planning using model workers busy doing different tasks.
These figures are very hard to get at scale 1:33
So I've downloaded different figures from the net to print them myself.

They're only 55mm high so lots of detail will be lost printing these with a 0.4mm nozzle, even using 0.1mm layer height.

[Chriske]

Launchplatform installed, spots included and first parts of the LUT. From now on every other day we will install more parts.
To make things easy during assembly I installed a hinge at the bottom of the LUT. So when adding parts we tilt LUT to horizontal position and reposition afterwards. When LUT is complete we will secure it with a thick bolt to the launchplatform. The lower-frontpart of LUT is removed to make room for the tilting of LUT. When all is done that frontpart will be re-installed to make it complete again.
The elevator part is not complete. Now it is 'just' 2.5m high.
Meanwhile SaturnV is busy 'growing' on my printerplatforms...😃

Hi Chris,

I can't see the image without signing in to the modelling forum there

[Chriske]

and now...?

I can see it now. It looks good too.

[Chriske]

Thanks...

Another project were Sven is involved...

My son has a PrusaMini and wants to print these workers I mentioned higher up in this thread.
When slicing he gets a very strange result, the Prusa Slicer decapitates the figures(not all). Even after a repair in the P-Slicer itself.
Slic3r does the same job perfectly.

What's wrong here...?

[Chriske]

In case someone wants to try and slice with his Slicer....

Scaled-Arbeiter_5.stl

[Mognet]

It slices in Cura, but it's also giving messages about model errors. I'll try printing soon to see if it works

[Chriske]

In such a case I print the man upside down, to avoid using support. Because of the very delicate parts(fingers) these parts break while removing the support. I add a small disk, 1mm high to secure it's head firmly to the buildplate. Afterwards I cut it off and file to smooth the helmet.

While printing its head is embedded in that small disk.

It prints for me using Cura. Maybe I should have used a finer quality setting. This is at 0.20mm with tree supports. Not sure I can print fine enough to get the fingers too

[Chriske]

Hey thanks for printing...!!
Cura does a rather good job with it. Far netter then the PrusaSlicer.

From now on we will be adding parts every other day or so, depending how fast we can 'deliver'.
Next a crane will be added. There was non we know but we thought it would be fun to go this way.  Especially for the many children visiting our local observatory.

I'm not seeing any images there, just placeholders 

[Chriske]

You should see them now, correct...?

[Mr Spock]

Yes 👍

That is awesome!

Peter busy adding a few floors

[Chriske]

Forgot to mention : still 1.1m to add to this tower = another 5 floors.

Crane added...

Very impressive look forward to seeing the final construction.
