Imperial Shuttle with folding wings

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

Based heavily upon XanMan321's "Imperial Shuttle", I just fixed this one up so that it could be properly 3D printed.
A few notes:
For the body, I printed it in two halves (along the plane of the top wing) so that each half could be printed with very few supports, then glued it together
You'll need to make sure that you lower each wing so that more of it is resting on the build plate. I had to add some supports for the big round circle bits that attach to the body.
in XanMan321's design there's a lovely hole that you can put an "axel" through to attach the wings to the body. I had to move this to make it fit. At my scale it's not quite large enough to use filament as the axel, which I presume is the intent - I had to use paperclips. If you scaled it up a little bigger you could probably use filament which might be even nicer.
Enjoy!
