CF-105 Avro Arrow - RL-206 Nose Section

prusaprinters

<p>A user on the Facebook group "Avro Arrow" saw some in-progress images of my print of my full CF-105 model and suggested I create a model of the nose section of the RL-206 example of the Arrow in honor of the remains of that plane that are displayed at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa. I did not model the rear details of the nose section where it was cut away from the fuselage by torches as these would not be easily reproduce-able on an FDM printer and ideally this side would face the rear of a display case.</p> <p>This is a work-in-progress.</p> <p>On Sept. 16,2019 I updated the model to:<br/> -better reflect the positioning of the fuselage numbering on the museum artifact<br/> -have the larger navigator/weapons officer window on the Mk2 Arrow<br/> -have the uneven fuselage cut of the museum artifact.<br/> Note: The renders have not yet been updated to show these changes</p> <p>Depending on interest, I might modify the base to have different text to be more focused on RL-206 and the exhibit such as: "CF-105 RL-206 Remains" or "RL-206 Nose Section"</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Vehicles Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> i3 MK2.5</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> Doesn't Matter</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.15mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I would suggest using variable layer heights and enabling "detect thin walls" settings. The STL is natively in 1:305 scale, but I recommend scale it up considerably.</p> <p>At 200%, it is 1:152 scale, and still very small (the nose section is approximately 1 inch long).</p> <p>At 500%, it is 1:61 scale, and makes a nice sized desktop model.</p>
