This is a Tie Fighter model scaled for casual use in the X-Wing miniatures game, for example if you want to experiment with Tie swarm battles.

This model is a derivative of this Sketchup model: \nhttps://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?redirect=1\u2223=b1e84cdbad9e36e6c5bf2187ab45ccd

It is apparently an original work of Katase: \nhttps://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/user.html?id=1058361951245355501624136

The model had a number of internal structures that needed to be removed, and I eventually decided to replace the solar fins with my own, simpler design so I could better control thickness. And, of course, I added a connector to the bottom to accept a standard X-Wing base. The connector actually fits around the larger stem to help keep the model on the base.

The model is still not completely clean, but I found it would print well in Simplify3D at this point.

Note: The \"angled\" version of the model is simply to create a better Thingiverse image: you don't really need it.

Instructions

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.

The included custom raft is helpful for providing a base for the supports. I also find that printing 3-4 at a time helps in allowing new layers to cool.
