Hi friends.
After scratchbuilding a protonpack, you can see here in the Forum, i wanted to do another build.
This time i used a 3d Printer to produce the parts. Some People around here advised me the CR-10. I already printed a Neutrino wand with it, i have to say, really great Printer ( after i fixed some bad troubles that came with it ). I used 1.75 black PLA and the datas from "DancinFool, Winddrake" and "tgoacher" found on thingiverse.com.
Black PLA because my post processing goes to white. Then from white to black again. This makes painting much more easyer.
Nozzle 200° and bed 50°, 20% infill with 0.15 layerheigt ( CR-10 is able to produce with 0.05 btw ).
To my suprise my bad leveled bed had not much influence on the prints...big luck i would say.
The datas are pretty good btw and i used Cura 15.04.03 to create the gcode's.
After printing i sanded every mm of all parts. After that i used "fill-surface" - putty. Sanded it again. Then i used filler primer. Sanded it, fillered again and so on.
Iam really really happy with the results, the surfaces looking awesome.
When painted black, ill handpaint the whole pack like i did with my printed blaster.
Here u can see the post processing steps shown with the crank Generator:
It was a lot of work...
Like the first time, the synchronous Generator is made of Styrodur and wood with a metal
frame around. I used the CAD-paper datas from my CAD-friend Chris.
Cyclotron was printed in one part(!) ... love CR-10
For now 90% of post processing work is done and iam happy
Nothing mounted yet. Will be next step.
The motherboard was made of real metal by my steelguy Mr.Baal
For the electronic of the powercell and cyclotron i invested into a "Jupiter Electrics" light kit.
And i shot a ALICE frame with straps on Ebay for only 30€.
Hope u guys like my work
