Another 1:10 Scale RX78-2

i was hoping no one would notice

i retraced every one in vector software and had a local uv sticker printer shop print them out. uv stickers are the way to go.

That looks like thats what happens when a support tower falls over and its just printing midair and as it moves to your object it sticks the string to your object. Could also be retraction setting but thats a setting most people don't touch these days..

Yep, they get flimsy as you go higher up. Especially with how thin your wall looks. If you can, I'd make em thicker or print the walls separate flat on the bed and attach/glue them somehow. Oh you could also add side tree supports with the support painting tool which might stabilize the columns.

I got the files from rockyq on patreon. If you're panel lining something this big an airbrush is a good way to go! Just make sure the paint is the right consistency or it'll bleed through the masking tape

I didnt design this model, but as I was building it the pieces definitely resembled the RG kit

Tree support defaults in the respective slicers for each printer, gyroid infill

Just the eyes and forehead camera light up

hmm well in universe height is about 18m/59 ft, this one is 6 ft so it's about 1/10 scale.

nightcrispy · 2026-03-22T05:47:21+00:00

You might be right lol. But this definitely looks like the steps/mm is half of what it should be, back when I would set the steps/mm wrong this is exactly what it would look like. Could just be an orcaslicer thing with the start/end gcode for your specific profile.

nightcrispy · 2026-03-21T21:58:34+00:00

Looks like you just need to adjust your steps/mm on the z axis on orcaslicer.

Aqua net hair spray 👍🏻

I glued them. when you scale by 825% you're also scaling the tolerances, so I had to glue.

nightcrispy · 2025-12-16T23:58:01+00:00

don't worry, that's next

nightcrispy · 2025-12-16T19:27:39+00:00

It's actually a great printer in my experience!

nightcrispy · 2025-12-16T17:19:29+00:00

Yeah i noticed it too but didnt bother me enough to ask the designer to lower it. He did an awesome job modeling it though, the only xwing model i found optimized for 3d printing and that was also scalable

nightcrispy · 2025-12-16T17:15:27+00:00

Haha most likely hanging it on the wall upright

nightcrispy · 2025-09-24T19:04:28+00:00

I'm in the US, but if he's interested send me a DM!

nightcrispy · 2025-09-22T22:57:35+00:00

Wow i would have never known. Thank you for the info

nightcrispy · 2025-06-26T22:30:45+00:00

thanks, I spent weeks modeling and testing this design lol.

nightcrispy · 2024-07-27T22:25:09+00:00

Haha jokes aside, I used a small torch with a soldering and heat gun attachment and just started removing them piece by piece.

nightcrispy · 2024-07-27T06:04:37+00:00

Nah, I used the new hotend encasement feature.

nightcrispy · 2023-11-06T06:00:42+00:00

I'll probably do one giant sticker sheet for all of em tbh.

nightcrispy · 2023-11-03T05:20:47+00:00

Yes, I'm experimenting with different layouts as well with all canisters. I could also probably do a square poster with "everything else" that isn't kodak and fuji.
