<p>This Simple (smooth) Version is easier to assemble and print. &nbsp;</p><p>This is my interpretation of the Energy Blaster or Energy Pistol used by Alexia Harmon in the final battle from the book "The Defender" by Larissa Soehn. The book describes the blaster pistol with a triangular barrel that fires energy and is powered by a crystal.</p><p>" Strapped to her leg is a pistol with a triangular barrel and an internal crystal that will harness the atmospheric energy and concentrate it into a deadly ball of power."</p><p>The book The Defender, by Larissa Soehn can be purchased from</p><p>Amazon.ca <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0228866030/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_C45MY5Y5MX8X238XASPZ?tag=thingiverse09-20">https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0228866030/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_C45MY5Y5MX8X238XASPZ</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Printing Tips:</p><p>The model prints without supports and although there are a lot of pieces, most can be printed together to reduce the number of different set ups.</p><p>I did use a raft/Birm for the Barrel Print and the Wings.</p><p>I printed this model a number of times and my preference was to use a 0.2mm layer height for everything but I occasionally ran into a quaility issue on the Wing door “pins”. I included the Gcode file for the wing doors that had the best results. I changed the layer height to 0.15mm and used the preset 0.15mm (quality setting) I also arranged the parts so their brims were touching. I also added a box that ends higher than the pins to allow the pins to print cleaner by slowing down the extruder. These seems to give me better results.</p><p>See the main file for more instructions if you need them since there are detailed assembly videos associated with that file.</p><p><br>&nbsp;</p>
