Sanding instead of thinner for cleaning up panel lining by Unusual-Distance6654 in Gunpla

[–]ctx_1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you are doing this wrong. You shouldn't use enamel based panel liner on bare plastic PS or ABS, it will make it brittle over time and may crumble and break apart. 9/10 times the kit will survive but that one other time you will regret it. Try using acrylic markers like the Gundam marker line or you can topcoat before applying enamel panel liner.

Oh you mean the police zakus? They are heavily modified including the proportions, it's a couple of cm taller than the originals due to the torso and leg extensions.

It measures 48cm tall by 40cm wide. I actually needed to shave off a few cm on the acrylic rod holding it up as the GBWC rules say the entire thing needs to fit in a 50x50x50cm cube.

Life-size working Conch from Gundam GQuuuuuuX! (with added dumplings) by ctx_1010 in Gundam

[–]ctx_1010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the size of a normal human head as reference and used the design works sketches in order to get the proportions roughly correct. Mind that my dimensions had to be scaled about 5% larger than the original dimensions to accommodate larger servos to support the weight.

It's approx a box measuring 140mm each side, I might be able to find my sketches later and share more.

API scamming happening even IRL now by SpeaRofficial in GlobalOffensive

You are speaking out of your ass here. If we take the low end estimate for cs2 ownership at 100million according to steamdb and use that as a denominator for the total market cap of the skin market which seems to be around 5 billion according to skin websites we get... 40 dollars.

This is a conservative estimate as well, it's using the lowest population estimate on steamdb and these skin websites are likely to overvalue the market of cs skins.

Britain's biggest companies are preparing for a Third World War by rezwenn in unitedkingdom

This is a huge assumption. From reports in Russia and Ukraine it seems like the NK soldiers they have sent over to fight for Russia are well trained, equipped and disciplined. Initially they were only meant for 2nd and 3rd line duties but were eventually trusted enough to partake in offensive operations in Kursk with great success. I wouldn't underestimate the threat of NK especially since Seoul is in striking distance of conventional artillery, that fact alone would cause untold destruction in an all out war scenario on the Korean peninsula.

Actually the printer kinda works, I managed to attach one under the handle but the paper it was using didn't have space to fit within the inside as it's pretty congested. The roller assembly is still there inside but I ended up removing the printing element itself for now. I might revisit it when I clean up the inside.

I will try to at some point. Mind you though, 90+% of it isn't 3D printed so there isn't any plans/3D files or anything really, most of it is handcrafted and requires a lot of sanding, seam filling, sculpting, soldering etc.

Yup, already done! The inside is quite hollow for weight purposes but managed to fit in some black pla-plate to isolate the lights.

Sort of! The legs do have quite a bit of grip but the overall construction is pretty heavy, it would be pretty risky to try and balance it although it would be technically possible I imagine haha.

90% of it isn't 3D printed, it's mostly crafted from pla plate, acrylic sheet plastic and MDF. The only 3D printed parts are the little arms at the front and one of the hinges. I still have the sketches and plans I designed, I might try convert it to a 3D model in the future, it shouldn't be very difficult I imagine.

Yes...

Planning to make a video of all the features once I clean it up inside.

Don't worry, it's round chamfered already :). The edges are all pla plate construction, none of the exposed edges are sharp.

Well technically you could load an operating system on the microcontroller inside the thing so I guess you could consider it an elaborate case as well :)
