LX Deore Rear derailleur

An LX Deore rear derailleur that was sitting in my tool box. This is a mid level mountain bike derailleur, Acera being the lowest grade and XT being the highest level within Shimano derailleur systems. This model was...a... B&#%! to do, the angles, the fact that the angles relied on the other components fitting together properly first and the detailed and awkward surfacing features made this my most difficult model to date. Wow. If you want to try it, I wish you luck. Modeled in SW 2012, rendered in KS5! Very accurate and mechanically sound but the geometry and angles could be off slightly from the original as the only way to do it was by eyeball and guesstimation. Overall, the end product fit together like it should , It's perfectly functional and of-course at worst makes a great prop model. Enjoy, comments and likes are welcomed.
