Dictator Dan Caldari Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.17 21:28:00 - [1] Originally by: Acinonyx Jubatus Is it just me or are they... inverted... I could have sworn that: A. The incursus' pointer is on the right side. and B. The thorax's "knee" thing is also on the right. Ofcourse I could be wrong, look nice other than the "why do they look backwards" feeling I have. the extraction process mirrors the model in game, so they are 'backwards' once the full set is printed and painted, will anyone care that its backwards? ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!

I want one. assloads Quote: What is the customer price of the ZPrinter 310 Plus? The U.S. list price for the ZPrinter 310 Plus is $25,900. This price is exclusive of shipping, materials, installation and training. DVD players were like that when they came out :P I'll wait a few years and they'll cost a tenner :) i doubt they will go down much more, they have been out for over a decade and they are mainly used in industies, so if they can get $25000 for them, why not sell them for that much? if you really want to print some, i suggest a takeover robbery ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!

Dictator Dan Caldari Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.20 00:47:00 - [5] Originally by: magnus amadeus Good job there Jas and Dan. Are you guys going to have enough time to finish the project before you guys graduate? yes we will, we have about 2 more weeks of printing, then it is a matter of coating the models in glue, then painting them. The board could take anywhere frome 2 days to a month, depending how complex and sweet looking we decide to make them. Im kinda mad that I wont have more than a few months to show it off/PWN people with it before i go to boot camp, but meh. ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod! OH NOES!

Dictator Dan Caldari Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.20 00:49:00 - [6] Originally by: Dragonrazor Actually, I was thinking of trying to model EVE ships using sculpy, and or making resin castings out of my sculpy models at some point. However my clay modeling skills are inferior (despite some good successes), and in order to make truly detailed and accurate ship models, I would need a better way to match them to a good set of photo's/schematics. IMHO though, people have been doing amazing things with making pewter figurines for gaming, and plastic etc. It still tweaks my nipples that CCP can't do SOMETHING to make ship miniatures a reality. I know for a fact that I would be scooping them up like drones taking agro... I suppose however that demand projections just don't meet cost to manufacture... and we would be spending $100 per model or something to keep profit in CCP's corner... Anyway, I will eventualy make a better stab at making my sculpy versions of CCP's ship as I get better, maybe someday I will be able to post em in picture form without getting all red in the face. As far as the pics shown here, I envy you... Depending on the cost, I would consider purchasing some of these from someone. It's just a crying shame the printer costs reminds me of the early TII market... Or the current rig market heheh. in response to the idea of eve models, i think a table top strat game of EVE ships would be kick ass..."Miss your fleet battle? No problem! Fight against your friends and ZOMGPWN there ass. Plan your next POS assault! Want it to scale? Buy a football field to fit a titan!" ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!

Dictator Dan Caldari Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.20 05:29:00 - [9] Originally by: Jimer Lins Originally by: Jason Marshall Maybe with funding and CCP approval. We have a limited amount of material. and it takes the corperation a long tiem to ship us more. took like 3 months last time for the composite and some binder. Yeah, and I was thinking about it and a tournament is pretty much out of the question because people would just use chess software. But great stuff, as a chess fiend I heartily endorse this and look forward to the results. ;) major thing about give one out, we need CCP approval, and to your later post about people using chess sofeware, maybe a in game PvP thing (think t1 frigs, t1 mods, t1 rigs type thing) and winner gets one or have the tourny at fanfest ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!

Dictator Dan Caldari Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.20 23:07:00 - [11] Originally by: Jason Marshall Edited by: Jason Marshall on 20/03/2007 22:52:44 So lots of people have been asking about how we make theese things. here is a quick overview. We start out by extracting the modles from eve using TriExporter . We export them has .3ds modles and then import them into rhinocad to add the stands to each ship modle. We then save theese files has .stl files and import them into the Zprint software. In the Zprint software is where we do all of the scale and size adjustments, also we orient the pieces has they will be printed in the printer and add multiple pieces to one print. Then we let the machine loose, it builds the modles from the bottom up essentially pushing the modle into the tub of composite. I will get pictures of this up tommorow. Along with the Dominix pictures [:D.] what jason meant to say is that he extracted them, i do everything else im also the looks and brains of the group ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!

Dictator Dan Caldari Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.23 18:40:00 - [12] Originally by: Jason Marshall Originally by: Nyxus The Emperor demands an all Amarr set versus an all Matari duct tape set. Do not disapoint him again, Admiral. Or he would say that, you know if we actually had a new Emperor. Seriously top notch work guys. Looks freakin awesome. Could you make them bigger if you wanted to? So not only chess sets, but maybe a desktop model or 2? And how well does the composite take paint jobs? And when will you make a Curse, you know, the hottest ship in all Evedom? Nyxus Yes i believe the limits are about half a foot at each axis :D. And we dont want to risk materials printing up flimsy matari craft, but we are making an ammarian set! i think it is more like a 1 cubic foot area we can take up, but we are charged a dollar a cubic inch, so something that large is impractical ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!

Caldari set pls! before we starting printing we (jason and i) decided because of the asymetrical ships, the caldari would be had to design bases for, and we decided against the minmatar because their ships are too fragile, now that we see exactly how it works, we may make a caldari set, and possibly a minmatar () excuse the worse than usal spelling, i am so tired that jason doesnt look as ugly Love you to Dan. But yea, we decided that the gallente and ammarian ships would be the best and most stable ships to print out. sorry to disappoint you jason, but i dont swing that way ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!

Dictator Dan Caldari Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.25 05:10:00 - [17] Originally by: Jason Marshall Originally by: CaperPuts Argh, I can't believe you haven't made the awesome Minmatar ships yet! Instead you're too busy making wang shaped ones (Thorax lolz) You're doing one hell of a job though. Come to think of it, a Naggle Fraggle probably would be too ridiculously tall for chess, heheh. It's over 5 km tall or something like that, in game. We will see how much material we have left over at the end...possibly print up a minnie set. A capital set would be awsome :D capital set would be sweet, maybe if we stole the printer...... ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod! OH NOES!

Dictator Dan Caldari Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.25 23:13:00 - [18] Originally by: Jason Marshall Originally by: Cerwyn Taraman Good work guys! I worked for a few years for a rapid prototyping service bureau. We had a 3D Systems Thermojet, Viper Si2 and 5 CNC Mills. Wish I could throw together some viper models, it does .001" resolution (1 thousandths of an inch) using a UV Laser (it is sterolithography). If we were making those we would make a rubber mold of the viper part, and then just shoot up waxes to cast up a tree of models in base metal using a vacuum casting machine. Of course, the Viper itself is $200,000 as well as the cost of the various other machinery but this was for a large jewelry store doing lots of custom work. I can't imagine a school actually having a lot of the equipment you have access to, SLA and 3-D Printers are super expensive. Wish CCP would sell a chess set like this, would be really fun to have. Yea, here in washington we have some of the highest sales tax, and our lottery system pays for education. And our school district has a very good Vocational Education program. So we are just lucky bastards to say the least. Thanlsk for the comments! And that other stuff sounds way over my head. we also have morons in charge of anything and everything in this state... ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod! OH NOES!

ROFL..... They can be printed bigger, it gets really expensive tho. hmmm, I wonder if those models can withstand being vacuum formed (you know that thingy that heats plastic, makes it soft, press it down a mold.(the model) creats a plastic verison of it...mass produce it ..etc.. they probally could, the are fargile after they are printed and before they are coated in glue, after that they are pretty strong. hmmmm, mass production, id have to get some skills before that, but hey, IRL, no skills, so were set you get all the stuff we need and tank CCP lawyers, ill mass produce and sell ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!

I am sure hoping you make a few sets and send to CCP for some kind of prize pack at fanfest or something. Also, thought I should throw this out there. Several years ago (I believe it was 8th grade, and now I'm a freshman in college) we had a class with many different workstation so people could learn to do all kinds of tech stuff. One of them had a CAD or CAD-like program and a machine that would carve what you did in a piece of some kind of foam stuff. It was pretty cool, and I think it could be used for something similar to this. Wish I could remember the name of it. Edit - Just read your comment about fanfest above. Maybe CCP could fund a set or few? Will look into it...time could be an issue... not really, we could print mathers set and probally 2-3 more sets at the same time and if you repeat a grade, you will have tons of time Your Insulting Friend, Dictator Dan ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!

Dictator Dan Caldari Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.27 06:12:00 - [23] Originally by: Nicoli Voldkif If I could only get my hands on that set for about a week I could make a decient resin mold. The only problem would be undercuts on the models and as long as the undercuts are along one axis it would be a realtively easy to make the mould. hmm...could you explain that last sentance please? ~~~~~ My Ibis is in your air ducts, about to puncture your pod!
