Hi, This is the list of parts that was originally on Primitive Dave shop back when I was getting them printed. That was maybe 5-6 years ago. I have not checked it against what is up there now.Sorry if this has been asked already, but is there somewhere with all the files for 3d printing this beauty? I have all the Primitive Dave ones, but quite a few of them were busted and the files cant be opened..
would it be possible to list them all if you haven't already?
Cheers

Very impressive SZArchie.Probably too many pictures for this update but here goes. The connection between the bow and the center armature parts is a major pain in the ass. I guess the design was not really finished or it could be that I am just not looking at it correctly. Either way I just could not get the parts to fit properly with the original design so some improvisation was needed. The armature part between the two areas need to be significantly slimmer so thankfully my son's skills in Solidworks saved the day. He redesigned the parts and I had them recut. That was a whole other drama with Pololu and file formats but I have to say their customer support was unbelievably amazing. The large hole in the piece was designed in for running wires. Now the armature insert sits flush with the 3D printed model part which it was not doing previously.

While I was waiting for parts to be cut I continued to detail out the center span. There are tanks that fit into either end and they are a bit of a puzzle. I figured it out eventually from looking at reference pics but it was a head scratcher.

Hi MarcVery impressive SZArchie.
You mentioned SolidWorks above. Did you and your so design the whole thing in SolidWorks outside of the exoskeleton?
Speaking of the exoskeleton were those previously designed by someone else.
I'm a complete novice so thanks for your patience.
Marc.
Hi MarcJohn,
Thanks for your kind reply. I replied earlier but for some reason it wasn't posted - doubtless my own fault.
Was there anything except the bow armature connection to the centre span armature that your son designed in SolidWorks that you needed to design yourself?
If available I'd love a copy of the SW files you made.
I've seen the other thread also and got some great input there from Jeff.
Best regards,
Marc.
Interesting! What is the source for the 1/700 scale being about 40"?If you're doing the 1/700 version it should be about 40" long when completed. Good luck!
Cheers Miek! Much appreciated. It was a challenging but fun project.What a wonderful model, extremely well build John! A true masterpiece!
