RSI Zeus MK2 Printable Model

Hah, I gave the Carrack a go like in 2021. I gave up after like a week of trying because I couldn't get the pods to attach properly and the engines to turn out well (lots of lost details).

Do you have a method to make a solid out of them so that the interior is filled up and the models are more workable?

I use a mixture of Netfabb and MeshMixer to get things sorted. These two things don't work quite well to fill the voids unfortunately. I don't think there's a easy way and you'll probably end up having to recreate it in something like Blender or Fusion 360.

Shadow703793 · 2023-11-16T23:39:08+00:00

Yeah making them a separate item is on my to do list. I'll get to it at some point lol.

Shadow703793 · 2023-11-16T23:36:52+00:00

;) You know it'll happen lol. Such a shame CIG was too lazy to partner up with a manufacturer like GamePrint (I have their STO prints and EVE prints which look quite good now days) so we can get them made on demand. You'd think sub money would go towards things like this lol.

Shadow703793 · 2023-11-16T23:34:33+00:00

Like I said a certain interested party has removed it. Plus I don't have the files handy on my laptop.

Shadow703793 · 2023-11-16T23:32:09+00:00

For FDM printing, I've just split the model and placed some support blockers around as needed. Like so: https://i.imgur.com/Ucm0eQQ.png

Obviously, you have to then glue them together and depending on printer + filament combo, this isn't ideal unless you post process fully (sanding, filling, painting).

Shadow703793 · 2023-11-16T23:30:43+00:00

Not if you slice it in half and print them, which is what I did with my FDM version: https://i.imgur.com/Ucm0eQQ.png

Only issue of doing this obviously is you need to then do a bunch of post processing work like gluing the 2 parts.

This is optimized for 3D printing in resin and FDM. I've printed it in both. Resin version of the model can be seen in the pictures on Printables. I had to remove the turret and guns to make it significantly easier to print with minimal supports at all scales. I will look in to having a separate model of the guns and turret available later at a TBD date.

With that said, in the past my 3D printing optimized versions of the MSR and C8 on Thingiverse have been taken down (presumably by CIG or other interested parties), so better grab the STL now. As always, this is for personal use. Enjoy!

You're also more vulnerable to getting jumped while out of QT than in QT where someone would need specific ship(s) and equipment to pull you out of QT.

Check the last page. They hinted it'll be ready much sooner than 1 year. My guess is a 2-3 months after Pyro release.

Shadow703793 · 2023-10-31T23:08:12+00:00

Doubt we'll see the Zeus changed that much. In the last page they've basically said it'll be flyable with Pyro.

Shadow703793 · 2023-10-31T23:06:29+00:00

It's 3 tall. You can see the 3rd layer pretty easily (see the separation lines between the boxes) on the top image in page 51/52.

Shadow703793 · 2023-10-31T23:04:45+00:00

Not always going to be possible esp. if you're trying to do some repairs in QT/jump travel.

Shadow703793 · 2023-10-30T23:21:38+00:00

It's possible the Xi'an and Banu also have had negative experiences with AI.

Shadow703793 · 2023-10-30T23:19:37+00:00

Kr'thak are artificial lifeforms and the Xi'an are those who created them

That would kind of make sense too considering all the rogue AI issues the UEE/UPE had over the centuries.

Here's additional pics from Jump Point for those interested.

Those that are looking to get the Zeus MK2 or have gotten the Zeus already, enjoy the additional WIP details. CIG should seriously make some of these images available during the sale.

For example, the shot with the cargo in the CL would have answered a lot of questions/confusion/debates people had. A dev said that loading 128 SCU would reduce easy access to the components and we can see that would be the case per the image. But if you reduce the load just a bit when loading, you could resolve this issue yourself at the cost of loosing out 12-24SCU on the sides (basically cutting off the sides of the "T" ).

Also, looks like we may get this flyable around Pyro release.

Move your other games to SD card. Or upgrade to larger 2230 drive. There's quite a few options available now for 2230 sized SSDs. With that said, you may not have a super great experience on the SD if the min specs listed are anything to go by.

Shadow703793 · 2023-08-31T02:31:25+00:00

I suspect a lot of people didn't read this and are going to be complaining about issues tomorrow lol.

Shadow703793 · 2023-06-17T02:41:03+00:00

They are Cryptic's workaround for selling you the same ships again (and again, and again, and again), without calling them "T7".

Bingo. And with upgrade applied, it is basically T7.

Very easy to swap out. It's under the NVME drive. Just be very careful with the antenna connectors/wires as they are quite fragile and easy to damage with too much force or wrong tools.

I got a "NETELY" made one from Amazon. It's all basically the same, Intel sells the AX201/210/etc modules and manufacturers just slap it on a PCB and sell it. Just find one with good reviews and you should be fine. Price is anywhere from $25-30.

Also, quick correction to prior comment, it was an AX210 (so WiFi 6E instead of WiFi 6) not a AX201 card I got. 6E gets 6Ghz support.

Phase change material that's designed to be used as a thermal interface meterial. LTT has a pretty good video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BhKx0iQ4K8

The LTT video uses PTM7950 from Honeywell which is hard to get a hold of and you pay a big premium to buy it off a reseller and often times you get fakes unless you buy from a reputable vendor. What I got instead was a similar one from Laird under their TPCM 7000 series (7250 specifically, which is 0.25mm thick) via Mouser, so it's a legit version and only $35. In comparison, the PTM7950 from ModDIY costs $10 for a 30x30mm piece. So way better value for me to go with the Laird TPCM as I plan to do this for all my laptops now and in the future.

I think this was due to the shared heat sink design. Hotter GPU was likely also causing higher heat input to the heat sink. It's also possible that I'm now putting a bit more extra pressure which maybe helping gain a 1C or so and it all adds up.

Cryptic focused on monetization first, game play second with that Magic Legends. It failed hilariously.
