X-Wing Pilot Chest Box

thingiverse

Final Update: I uploaded a photo of a chest box I have made, I know the paint-work is really messy but I did it all the day before Halloween because I was busy with a lot of other work most of October. I couldn't get the rocker switches to fit in the holes I made, and because I was in a rush I just made a plate with all 3 switches to cover the holes. You can try to size the switches differently to make them fit but I don't plan on looking into it after this update(unless I get requests to do so). I've included the plate with all switches in this update. Please send photos if you make this, and once again, thank you guys :-) UPDATE 3: FIXED FACES/EDGES/WHATEVER!!! Hello everyone!!! I am so grateful for the feedback, I really do appreciate it. I fixed the Hollow Chest Box to be manifold and watertight, so it is ready for printing! I tested it in makerware, and everything comes out fine in the preview. I will be printing it soon. I used solid inspector 2 to achieve this, it is a wonderful tool. The "All Parts 1 Print" files(both .stl and .skp) files have also been fixed to be watertight/ manifold, and also load perfectly in Makerware. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback, I wish you the best when printing! (Also PLEASE send photos of your prints! And MORE feedback! Thank you!) UPDATE PART 2: THE ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: New files for printing a chest box for 2" straps, also, its hollow!!! Button components are included in the "all parts one print" file, if requested, I will upload the individual buttons or Sketchup models. (In theory) Just print the "chest box hollow" , then the parts, and then stick them into their slots! Some sanding may be necessary. If you want the parts to be their correct size, just check to see if the perfect square parts are 1"x1". PLEASE SEND FEEDBACK!!! Thanks! UPDATE: I've added new files which have the chest box with slots on the back for straps to go through. Hello everyone! For Halloween, I wanted to be a Rebel Pilot, so I searched online for ways to make the chest box component and I found many good ways to do it but I thought I'd try to 3D print it. For these models, I used the program Sketch-up. I tried my best to convert the main model to a .stl so it can be customized by others and opened in Makerware(some resizing may need to be done though). I haven't printed this yet but I wanted to put all of this up so others can use it and give me tips on how to improve it. This is my first project on Thingiverse.
