Aerospatial Gazelle for microarmor

Last crawled date: 5 years, 6 months ago
French helicopter
Inspired by Bob Mack's basic Gazelle*, but I ended up doing everything from scratch to get the edges where I wanted them, and to make a model that would print with a .4mm nozzle on an FDM printer; I don't have a resin printer.
Some of the bits are pretty delicate, such as the fenestron tail rotor and the landing skids. Some of the bits are effectively at the very limit of what can be printed on a .4mm nozzle; pretty much just a .5mm line of plastic.
Thanks to Bob Mack for the inspiration to do this chopper.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4147673
model in full dimensions in blender 2.81 and exported from blender 2.79b* at 1/100 for the .stl file
scale down to 35% in the slicer.
I've had issues exporting .stl's from 2.81 for Cura; 2.79b and 2.81 export the same mesh to different file sizes, too. So I export the mesh from 2.79b for consistency's sake.
as usual, the d6 is 15mm for reference
