Please review this model of a Textron One Metre Turret

(1/4) > >>

ChalkLine:
I know nothing about 3D printing.

What's the thoughts on this 3D model of a Textron 1m Turret? Would this be any good for a 1/35 kit? I have a mate with a flash 3D printer.

It looks a bit 'squat' to me

robunos:
Okay. While I can't comment on the accuracy, or otherwise, of this model, what I can say is that the file as offered is NOT suitable for 3-D printing as it stands. It MAY be possible to convert it to a suitable format, but it's not something that I know enough about to say for certain.
See the below from your link :-






3D printing: The majority of our models are intended for use in visualisation projects and are not created with 3D printing in mind.
A conversion for printable content may not be possible.





cheers,

ChalkLine:
Ahh, bugger.
Looks like I'm going to have to scale off the drawing then and scratch-build it. That can go on the 'one day' list.
Thanks for the info

robunos:
No worries . . . a tip. When searching for files to 3-D print, include the term 'stl' or '.stl' in your search. 'stl' is the file format required for 3-D printing. 'stl' means STereoLithography . . .


cheers,
Robin.

ChalkLine:
Sweet. This means .obj files are no good? The guide I was using said they were printing files as well
