X-Wing Miniatures game ship boxes

thingiverse

!SHIP NOT INCLUDED! :) There are lots of storage solutions for these tiny ships, but I wanted something that would allow me to carry just one ship (or a couple) rather than having to always take an entire box with me **LATEST UPDATES: 14/6/17 - I've uploaded the original Sketchup file for all these boxes. Feel free to use it as you see fit. So far I have included boxes for: X-Wing (T-65) A-Wing Y-Wing B-Wing Tie Fighter (Should fit the TIE/FO too, but untested) Tie Advanced Tie Bomber Tie Phantom Z95 Headhunter HWK 290 Scum Faction logos Tie Interceptor YT 2400 (Lid and box separate files) YT 1300 (Lid and box separate files Decimator (Lid and box separate files) Firespray (Lid and box separate files) Aggressor (Lid and box separate files) TIE Defender T-70 X-Wing K-Wing E-Wing Phantom Ghost (Lid and box separate files) - Added 9/9/16 Lambda Shuttle (Lid and box separate files) - Added 9/9/16 Punishing One (Lid and box separate files) - Added 9/9/16 Starviper - Added 9/9/16 Hounds Tooth (Lid and box separate files) - Added 9/9/16 Scyk - Added 9/9/16 TIE Punisher - Added 9/9/16 Mist Hunter - Added 9/9/16 Kihraxz- Added 9/9/16 “Will you be making a box for…” Probably, eventually, maybe. I have also created Pilot and Damage/Upgrade card boxes in the same style, you can find them here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:755733 Instructions Print as placed, they should fit on any type of printer since they are pretty small. I use the following to print: 1.75mm PLA, .15 layer height, 0 perimeters, no supports/raft/brim should be necessary. The Logos on the Lid: These are printed separately. Just glue them on afterwards (or not!) The Hinge: You'll need a bit of 1.75mm filament for the hinge pin, I hold a lighter to the sticking-out-end of the filament once it's inserted into the hinge for about 1-2 seconds, then use a wet finger to push the hot end a little (be careful!) that'll be enough to make the filament bulge out and stop it sliding around (do this to both ends). NOTE: After months of using this method, the hinges tend to break, the filament gets brittle and snaps. I now use 1.5mm steel wire, which is commonly sold in hardware/garden shops as bailing or fencing wire, that works great! You can also use a paperclip which apparently works well too! Apparently a paperclip also works nicely. Finishing: The clip at the front is quite tight when first printed, it needs a bit of sanding/filing down (just a few seconds) to get it to a place that you're happy with. I like it to really grip the box so it's very hard to flip open, but you can just sand it down a little more to tune it to your needs. Painting: Whatever you like! I used Acrylics airbrushed on for the box and the blaster-burns on the rebel boxes, and brush-painted the weathered red on the rebel logos. Then drybrused with silver. The imperial boxes are just airbrushed a flat gunmetal type grey.
