Retro Raygun

thingiverse

This model is my first try at using 3D printing tools. I didn't know all the nitpicks about how things work when creating this, so I just modeled something I thought looked nice. I used Autodesk 123D Design for this model. Most of the design is based off of Metin Seven's raygun model. That can be seen here: http://www.metinseven.com/projects/a8Y60 I couldn't find an original file of his model, so I recreated my own from scratch using reference pictures, along with making a few personal additions I thought would give it a more Art Deco/50's look. At 100% scale, it's roughly 16mm tall and 19mm long when fully assembled and fits nicely in my average sized hand. Extrusions & holes have been added in certain places so realignment wasn't an issue during the final assembly, but the my tolerances ended up being far from perfect and I had to take dremel to most of the parts. If you would like decide for yourself how the parts should be printed (whether cut up, printed as one solid part, or create your own tolerances for the plugs and holes) here is a link to the original fully assembled .123dx file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3eRlYSYMqVZclY1RFhwQ1BGZms/view?usp=sharing I may consider revising my tolerances and updating this thing so parts fit better in a future version. Print Settings Printer: MP Select Mini 3D Printer Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Notes: I printed the handle and main body with a 4mm wall thickness to make it virtually impossible to crush in the hand. The white parts of the raygun I printed with 2-3mm wall thickness. Infill density is up to you, but I fancy making things built to last.
