Draken balloon

[comPVter]

I'm back since a lot of months without playing.

After few dogfight against my two sons, it's time to introduce balloons....



This image is amazing....but I have only one balloon.

So I found in the download area this image:

and I try to make the model with Rhino:



I hope you like it !

[comPVter]

I just print it out....

[matt56]

That turned out pretty nicely, Dino! It's a good size match to the Nexus balloon I look forward to seeing it finished

All the best,
Matt

[comPVter]

Just do it !



Here is the file, if you want print it out.

[Flying Helmut]

Nicely done, Dino!

And the balloon "curtain" picture is a new one on me.

[clipper1801]

Balloon curtains are very cool, did them years ago five at a time, had to down the balloons to enter the enemy territory, quite fun!

[Flying Officer Kyte]

They certainly do add to a game Dave.
Unfortunately my balloon curtain is now somewhat bedraggled due to some years lack of use in storage.

Here are a couple of shots from the original game.


Barrage up.


Barrage down!

I've notice some very nice trucks next to balloons bases !

Have you home rules for them ?

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Dino, the trucks are either the balloon winch trucks or the Flack trucks. To destroy them just use the same points system as for the AA cards.

[Ken at Sunrise]

Oh I am definitely going to print this.

[comPVter]

Another one is coming ....

[Ken at Sunrise]

Another one is coming ....

Yes please

[comPVter]

WIP: final test .... It's printing.

[comPVter]

It works !



Tomorrow I try a paint scheme, than I will share the file.

[clipper1801]

Very cool, so what kind of prices are we talking from local printers in the states?

[Ken at Sunrise]

If it is on Thingiverse you can order it there.

[comPVter]

Here's the new file:

Is still work in progress and the nacelle is missing.
Any suggestion will be apreciated.

[Ken at Sunrise]

It would help to split it like the other one. As a single file it will take a supports and rafting.

[comPVter]

I print this one vertically (like a rocket).
So minimum supports are needed, and you don't have any visible junction.

I but if you like, I can add a splitted version.

So you're just rafting or using brim? At 1/144 I don't think my printer bed is that large.

[comPVter]

I use support generated by Simplify 3D with few adjustment. I can print it in one shot on my 3Drag.

Now I uploaded a fixed version of the STL and two split part in 3mf format.

Let me know if you need an hole or reference for glue it together.

I use the XYZ program and when it supports it puts stuff everywhere

[comPVter]

Now it's time to try somethings with wings...

[Ken at Sunrise]

very nice

What is the footprint of the printer you use for the file?

[Ken at Sunrise]

What is the footprint of the printer you use for the file?

I have a little over 4.7" or 120mm cube to print.

[Hedeby]

Now it's time to try somethings with wings...

Oh wow that is awesome

[Marechallannes]

Nice projects.

I like what you do with the 3D printer.

[zenlizard]

Excellent, the printer I have can handle up to 150mm

[gully_raker]

Great work there Dino

Thay are just awesome & deserving of Rep!

[brdavis]

Very cool, so what kind of prices are we talking from local printers in the states?

I set up an account just to find out - I came up with $28.39 + $9.00 printer setup fee, and free shipping.

[Ken at Sunrise]

Seems a print pricy, that more that an entire spool

[maestrostewart]

Hello all! I've remixed the awesome model by comPVter. I removed the side panels for all 3 "back" files.
