Looking pretty amazing there Serinbeing close to 1:1 scale, if not dead on, how many Kg of filament do you reckon this will go through? Itl be worth it i reckon, but spendy lol
Thanks
It should be almost dead on, the last time I measured the length it was 996mm, which is only 4mm over what the Halo.wikia page tells me are the actual measurements.
Hmmm probably 1.5kg? Maybe 2.
Not really sure as I've been using the same filament to calibrate and recalibrate between printing the actual parts.
I'll make sure I weigh it after its done.
Have a Didactic Crustmas guys, gals and various other gender variants!

Hey Serin -
Any updates since the holidays?
I'm a mechanical engineer by day, spending most of my waking hours pushing pixels around in CAD software and operating rapid prototyping machines (3d printers). Could you share your original, solid part file of the Battle Rifle? I want to attempt what you are doing, but with a few tweaks:
* Adjusting the slicing of pieces to match my maximum build envelope (varies by printer)
* Adjusting the slicing of pieces to align with details on the gun, to help hide seams
* Adding interlocking features between pieces to ensure a strong connection, proper alignment, and easy assembly.
I might even play around with making the magazine removable... or hollowing out the ammo readout screen to allow some LEDs to backlight a static display.

Sorry Falk3r, wasn't notified anyone had commented on this thread... And thanks Rahl
New,
Finally finished the BR after loosing myself in various projects and Star Trek commissions/builds.
Now begins the task of fixing 4 month ago me's fak ups.
Shall take some better pix in the morning.

Looks really great!
Would you mind sharing your splitted BR files?

Now I really want a 3D printer.

Dooeett!
Playing around with cutting edge(ok, not that cutting) technology is awesome fun!

How did you you go about slicing the model into different parts? Is there a particular program you used?
I'm looking into getting a 3D printer, and when I do (if I ever do get one) I would like to try my hand at doing a helmet

Luckily 3D printers are getting cheaper by the month, I need to do something like this!
