FFA series number 21: Halo Index

[ReClaimer8015]

Hi you Guys, i always liked the Idea of the FFA and would love to see it go on and spread around.
Somewhat recently i had a chat with mblackwell1002
He encouraged me to contribute to this series, so here we go!
I am also interested in props other than weapons, especially technical gadgets and architectural elements of the halo franchise. I start with one of the greatest Icons - the sacred Icon!
My own recreation of the Delta Halo Index seen in H2 Anniversary.
Feel free to print it for your own private (and only private) use.

It is a small prop, i am not so experienced in 3d modelling, but trevor pointed out to me that encouraging people to try is better than anything. The Beginning is difficult, but tinkering in cad can also be fun! It takes a little
overcoming, just as pepakura does

That looks awesome! You've got skills, man! Very nicely done! May i ask what software you use?

 

[ReClaimer8015]

Thanks
This was done in Rhinoceros 5.

WOW! And he said he was tinkering with the program! Hah!

 

[ReClaimer8015]

Haha, we're already at Series Nr.21!
Fixed the title for you.
If anyone 3d prints this feel free to show your work here.

So i have printed this finally.
I downscaled it a little to 20cm (7,87 inches). The original is 1,5 x bigger, but that isn`t handy for me.
Printed on an Ultimaker 3. Have to say i like the quality of it. This machine can do some detailed pieces in a shorter time.
An improvement from my older trys on a DIY-printer(Ultimaker Original).



Have to clean it up (only a light treatment), prime and paint it.
Here some references



Might add some nightglow effect......

Sanded and primed, painting the different areas right now...
If it wasn`t so cold and dark outside when i come home i could`ve been finished already....

Oh snap! That looks fantastic! Can't wait to see the finished result!

Thanks man! I am honestly already finished, but still doing a 2nd paintover. The first time i used masking tape which doesn`t work all that effectively because of the scale and the details of the print. Used old and cheap paint i had and it doesn`t dry in the cold. Colour scheme just a little bit off.

So i had the idea to use my software again to seperate the areas i need and unfold them, use a machine to cut them out and ready are my spray painting templates! Great idea for weapon skins too, because you can make a symmetric logo on an asymmetric surface too!

 

[ReClaimer8015]

It worked! Nice.

 

[ReClaimer8015]

First of three painting steps done. Silver Matte it is.
So far it works really good.
Colour isn`t flowing away, you have precise lines - awesome.

Anyways, Happy Holidays in advance you guys and i`ll keep you updated.

I am already on another technical item in forerunner use:
Can you guess what it is......?

That is an amazing idea! I don't have the capabilities to pull it off, but I sure do hate how much time is wasted with masking tape.

Nice job on the print too.

Have to revive this corpse of a thread once more, found some pics again - here`she finished product after the first try:

I want to repaint it with a more fitting color scheme...

This would be great to print in clear filament. Throw in a 3v battery and blue LED and paint what you don't want the light to shine through. I love it.

 

[ReClaimer8015]

This would be great to print in clear filament.

Had the same idea tbh.
Just with a two parts solution: Clear filament with some space for light and a strong durable casing wich goes on top.

YES!!! I would love to have a print of this! Been actually wanting this for awhile now. I want to have it on display with my Halo stuff.

Shouldn`t be a problem, the file can be found here: FFA series number 22: Janus Key
Everything is strictly symmectrical, you don`t need to mirror anything - just print the file a second time for the other half of the key.
Waypoint scales it as follows:

I made it bigger, but i still consider my print to be a little small. For the details to come out clean i would sugest to scale it to the minimum dimensions of 20 cm x 4,8 cm x 1,7 cm
If you want a variant that can be coupled with internal LED lighting just ask, i can create another file from the current model.
And i`ll will try to find out the RGB/ CYMK or HEX Code for the colours i used...
