TD-1536 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Zenix is working with Charlie and myself, met him for the first time at a recent armor party. Because of all all the drama with the previous Sonix radio project that John and I worked on, I encouraged him to start from scratch. If Charlie wants to pull them in HIPS, he could but the details would be no where like what you see in that picture. I still maintain the only way to fabricate these correctly is in urethane resin, which becomes impractical due to cost and weight. I still have all my original Sonix Radio molds, collecting dust.

zenix Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 the 3d model drawing make with program? i need 3d for complete back pack turorial? I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. I made the model from photgraphs of the Sonix Victory 75 using AutoCAD solid modeling. I think this is the answer for your first question. I do not understand your second.

zenix Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Here is the 3D printer printing the model: This is a model being dug out of the powder: This is the two models in the depowdering chamber full- and half-scale: This is the two models, after depowdering, shown with a quarter for size reference: Next step is to make the mold! The knobs are already modeled, but not printed. They will be created with another method. I may redo the faceplate printing with the other method, anyway. Its an expensive and slow process, compared to this one. It only took 2 hours to print the large model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenix Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think we'd lose all the details if we just vacuum-formed it... resin seems more accurate, yet more expensive. I'll get back on it soon. we've got Thanksgiving this week here in the states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
