Looks good. I'd love to have even just the seats to download the print file and print them I have heard of acetone working but I think with PLA it has to be an acetone bath, which I have heard of numerous techniques but the simplest one involves putting newspaper in the bottom of a vase, pour some acetone/nail polish remover on it so it soaks into the paper, then flip it overtop of your print so the vapours sink down onto the print. Never tried it though. I've printed a few things, but haven't had to do much sanding yet.

I tried the acetone bath as well with no success.
You can download the files at https://grabcad.com/library/millennium-falcon-captain-s-chair. You''l just need to down scale the files to suite your needs. Hope that helps.
That MF cockpit is the bomb...for the one who can afford it
I'm very curious how much they're going to ask for it
New pic!

I Vote Iz - he should attempt to do what no one else has done!

Where in the world would I put that????
It would be an awesome build. Have you seen the size of the Tie fighter? I think I will stick to just building cockpits for now. :devil

Many thanks to SofaKing01 for helping me out. I'm back on track. I'll get back to the Nav chairs later. So I started on the center console. Not much but it's a start.

Sorry I don't have any coke cans. Did some more fitting pieces for the center console and base to lift it up.

Beer cans?
Iz... Looking good!
FYI: There is small flat spot at the VERY top of the console nose just above the upper instrument panel. A light sanding on a flat surface should get the desired look.

Well I went back to try to print off the Nav seat. My friend fixed the file and I used Simplify3D to slice it and print it in 3 different part. It looks pretty good. I have to sand, glue, and paint it but I think it will nice when it is done.
