Where did the lcd screen go and what is this extra hidden geometry.How long is it in the Halo universe? The model is currently scaled to 1200mm aka 1.2m aka 3.94 feet.How big in megabytes/kilobytes should I make the final stl files? (i have a beast computer so load times for me aren't huge).I will flip everything so it appears to be a right handed weapon. So it appears like it's a left handed weapon. So before I ask questions about things that are confusing me, it seems the laser is flipped. Some bolts make serve as plugs to hide real hardware such as real bolts. why does a laser have a recoil? I think I will also do a minor redesign of the front grip because it's messy and it appears it was originally meant to be detachable. I will have to design the mechanical track system, electronics and programming. It has a basis for a track system, but it's obviously mechanically incomplete. It does look like Bugie/Microsoft/343 Industries did a good job making it seem somewhat realistic. So the smooth shader for the viewport does nothing for 3d printing. It's critical that it adds geometry as shaders do not add anything to stl files.

Blender has a modifier called subsurf which adds geometry to smooth things out, but it only works correctly on quadrilateral and not triangles Triangles cause "pinch points". First step is to convert as much as possible to quads. The file is in stl format which makes everything into triangles. Well, I'll use this post to answer mblackwell1002 and ask some questions. I hope there is some interest in this project. I'll try to keep this photo up to date, but you can clearly see the difference between the original on the right and my derivative work on the left.

Eventually I might add mounts for electronics like servos, laser/LED, speakers and a small lcd.
Spartan 3d blender models registration#
I've decided to try to design a light weight, hollow, high detail spartan laser It will be segmented into parts that will give the best printing result, have registration keys to align all parts and easy to cover seams. It's a great starting point, but the large faces and floating parts would make it a nightmare to print and sand.

Unfortunately it's a low poly model and has many problems for printing. There seems to be only one good resource on the internet and it's from thingiverse. I recently got the urge to design and build a printable spartan laser. I haven't found any posts about rules, but hopefully this post will be appropriate for this sub-forum.
