Tie Bomber for Casual X-Wing Gaming

thingiverse

This is a Tie bomber model scaled for casual use in the X-Wing miniatures game. Given the new munitions options, it seemed timely! The model is a derivative of NenZilla's model, which in turn is remixed from ProCoPrint3D's unprintable model. I rescaled to X-Wing miniatures gaming size, bolstered the connection between the body and the fins, and added the connector to the bottom to accept a standard X-Wing peg. The connector actually fits around the peg stem to help keep the model on the base. The raft is just a little 0.3mm bit that fits nicely underneath to provide a base for supports. Note: The "angled" version of the model is simply to create a better Thingiverse image: you don't really need it. Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Notes: I print with a two-process factory in Simplify3D, with a single 0.3mm starting layer, followed by 0.1mm layers. I use the manual support capability to prevent support going into the connector, and I use a small drill bit to clean out the tiny receptacle inside after the print.
