Replacement Drop Pod Doors

thingiverse

Updated After a bit I discovered that the doors were rotating in the 'closed' position and falling out a bit. Trimming made them looser. I could use a magnet (drill little hole in both sides to help hold them shut in the right spot), but I decided that rotating the hinge snaps might work. So this has the ends of the hinges rotated 90 degrees. Old doors are in a .zip in case those worked better for you. More Drop Pod Stuff See my full drop pod (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:446893), which is overly complete! I'll try to post a pix in a bit. Thanks Thanks a TON to Kushan77 and outofstep! This one has some greeblies/detail to try to make it a little more fun. Print on high (.1mm) to get the most detail. I print on supports (no raft), with the interior side facing the bed, and then leave a bit of the rafts on the model, which kind of makes it look a little like tread.

If you build one, please post a pix in the "I made one" Instructions The original door intrudes into the interior too much, and the alternate door is better, but either doesn't have bilateral symmetry or I messed it up somehow. Also, those doors seem too skinny at the top and fat at the bottom. I'm not sure how the originals were created, however I took the door, divided it in half (see the bilateral version), stuck the thing in a virtual model of the rest of the drop pod, and intersected it with the fins to make it fit fairly well.
