The project started for casually, i did try out a model
It composed of different particular,
it had to be something completely, as if to create a single model,
furthermore then verify the accuracy for mounting.
I have no experience in the 3d printiny,
therefore, the model was a test to check the quality of Zortrax m200 printer used by a novice.
The project for final assembly consists of more than 300 parts,
3d modeling was made with no parametric software 3D,with about 800 hours of modeling,
scale 1:36,with overall dimensions of 370 mm x 166 mm x h 155 mm.
The final prints made in groups of objects, this did not allow to obtain the maximum quality of some pieces.
Printing hours 215 hours.
For the assembly it was also used the support of screws 2 MA,
and for centering of almost all the details have been inserted into the pins of 1.2 mm steel.
The prints were not performed special finishes.
Materials used ultrat-z, z-abs, z-glass for the supporting base, for a total of about 1100 g.
Before the final prints have been made of the study of prints to find the correct dimensional values
to be applied to the joints, the minimum thickness and to the holes of the pins (about 200 hours of prints).
The 3d printer suitable for modeling should use other technology,
But with a little 'patience and practicality, with a wire 3d printer (in this case with Zortrax m200, it used by many professionals in the field)ì
they can produce a lot of items, until recently unthinkable to be realized at low cost.
… it might make sense for the type of project “multi items” … possibly for a publication of a magazine?
