SixCrazyPants Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Ok I have finished tweaking and I'm getting ready to post these parts, figured I'd do it an batches so I can get feedback on their usability. So I need to know from all you 3D printer folks should the parts be put in to separate STL files or just lumped into one big file? Alan I would separate them. I've printed a few weapons that had the files all together, and it ends up being separated in the end in case one piece screws up while printing. Doesn't really matter what you do, I'll end up separating them on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decius[TK] Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Thank you guys. I apologies for the lack of updates. Had a personal crisis that has taken a majority of my time. Not sure when I’ll be able to get back to this as I still have a few months of work to do before life can get back to some kind of normality. But I will finish it, I'll make sure to break it down the final model in to seperate parts. Alan I started printing the nozzle parts. looking good! i'll post pics as soon as i have them! Thank you Alan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decius[TK] Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The surface of the rendering is a little over polly'd but other than that it's coming along nicely! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixCrazyPants Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 when I imported them into S3D, they were way tiny. Has anyone else had this happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al- Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) They are 1 to 1 inch, convert to metric - scale up by 25.4 to get to mm Alan Via http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/35135-DLT-19-3D-Model#entry463604 Edited June 3, 2016 by Al- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardofflight Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hello, decius - Do I need to change the resolution of the 3D models so they will print smoother? Just not up on the 3D printing stuff, classically trained ink and Mylar draftsman, old dog trying to learn new tricks. Sorry for the delay on updates, things are starting to settle down. A friend and mentor of 30 years passed away and put me in charge of his estate. So I have been busy trying to get everything organized, fighting with nearly everyone just to get the bills paid and accounts closed. Learning a lot about estate planning, trusts, probate the whole ball of wax. What I have learned is that ORGANIZTION pre & post is a must and that most of the people you’ll have to deal with are going to be jerks.

rl180 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Alan, hopefully things are getting better. Just checking/reminder if you'll be able to break out the parts to separate files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl180 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I've been playing around with this STL file, and found this site http://www.crobics.com/ which lets you load the STL file from post #1. It has a "selector" and "saw" tool. I was able to select the parts I'm not interested in printing and use the saw tool to remove them. You can then save (download) an updated STL file with the changes you made. Looks like it could be handy for other people to use. I don't have a 3D printer to test the resulting file. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rl180 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 You can download cura (a free slicer) and see how well your cuts worked I uploaded my edited file to https://www.shapeways.com/ (even lets you set scale to inches) and they do a number of automated checks and it passed with no issue. I selected a few of the parts not easy to create with PVC such the various sight parts (5 parts in total) and ordered them. I'll see how they come out and report back.

wizardofflight Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I haven't forgotten this project, life has bee throwing me more curveballs than normal. Lost my father on 9/19 and my uncle on 9/2. I am not exactly in the right frame of mind these days to be able to continue with this project right now.
