Looking good.
I just finished (is it ever really finished?) a build of the his RGB pack. His stuff is pretty awesome.
I haven't looked at the XGB files, but just something to think about cause it tripped me up on the RGB build- There were no holes in the parts that touched the motherboard for brackets. By the time I realized that I had already assembled and painted everything and didn't want to risk drilling through 20% infilled PLA.
I don't know if that's a thing with this build, but if it is- you should think about adding the holes for attachment brackets BEFORE you print them. I'm always super nervous drilling into 3d printed parts if they need to be weight bearing.

I figured I would print the blaster and see how I felt. ..Well, I'm feeling fired up and printing the big parts for the pack.

Just don't put yourself in a situation where you've done all the assembly and paint before you think about it..... Cause drilling into PLA or PTEG (at least for me) never seems to work well.in_the_city wrote: ↑September 6th, 2024, 8:22 am Looking good.yeah, I gotta be honest, I only just started to think about this because on the 3D model there is no suggestion about how the frame is connected or any kind of motherboard situation.
