Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.16 17:26:00 - [1] Well the project is comming along nicely! we have the incursis's and Punishers all printed up and a failed attempt at a thorax. The thorax was ruined by the binder that didnt soak in properly. Without further hesitation and stall tactics... Incursis Scale is for losers ;) All in a row Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!

Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.16 23:11:00 - [4] Originally by: Frug Those are pretty cool. Could look very nice pained up on a chess board. I'm still waiting for a bigger model though. I need a ferox or cormorant or something for my desk. They are expensive, roughly one dollar a cubic inch. Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.16 23:19:00 - [5] Originally by: The Pointless Originally by: Jason Marshall and a failed attempt at a thorax. The thorax was ruined by the binder that didnt soak in properly. I can't see any flaws in that Thorax. Then again, I can't see the detail for the light and the whiteness of the model. Sadly im not an expert photographer :( i can get basic pictures but i suck with lighting. when they are all printed and such im going to paint my set has close to ingame has i can tho :D.

They are expensive, roughly one dollar a cubic inch. Since tolerance isn't an issue, can't you just make one of each and then cast the rest using a good old fashion mold? Or even better, rapid prototype a mold. Im not sure how to acomplish that. we have a foundry and everything, but i dont think they would be that detailed if you did it that way.

Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.17 23:08:00 - [8] Originally by: Slash Harnet Damn, how much equipment do you have access to? Any yeah, you would probably loss a bit of detail in the process. Unless you made really complicated molds that is. Its a full workshop. Its the schools metal, wood, engineering shop. And the classes can qualify for college credit. Everything is industry standard. We have i think 6-7 lathes, several welders. a cnc, the prototype printer. Welding stations and the foundry. We are lucky bastards. Oh and i posted up 2 teaser photos of the brutix. Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!

So i took pictures with my cellphone since the nice camera i used with the others isnt mine and is locked up in the school. So consider them teasers :) Surely Wal Mart sell cheap and cheerful digicams, like ASDA do? Or am I wrong in guessing you're in the US? :D im a lazy one. Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.19 19:16:00 - [10] I will update the thread later today with pictures of the brutix :) Also thoraxes are in the oven :D Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.19 22:24:00 - [11] Originally by: Juwi Kotch Edited by: Juwi Kotch on 19/03/2007 21:09:28 Today I had business to do at the CeBit in Hannover (world's biggest IT fair) and the German importer of the zprinter has a boot there. I took a closer look at the color printer version of that printer (model 450, it prints the models in color like an inkjet does it on paper), and what it can do. Simply amazing, close to unbelievable! If I would be millionaire, I would buy one on the spot! Question: How did you get the 3D data of the ships? Juwi Kotch I used TriExporter (will find the link in a bit) and then imported them into Rhinoceros 'Rhino'. Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.19 22:56:00 - [12] 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? We should :D And im probably gunna be held back a year anyways with my grades. Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.20 00:51:00 - [13] 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. Good luck to you :D You could make some truly massive modles. Physically we are limited to about a foot on each axis, realistically no more then 3 inches :P. Has for beign able to do it in my high school engineering class, i am truly greatful to the Career and Technical training program and the local tax payers :D. And im sure ill be dipping into my own pockets come end of term :P. Again they are expensive. But oh so worth it i hope! Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.20 01:29:00 - [14] Originally by: Jimer Lins Originally by: Dictator Dan Originally by: Jimer Lins 1. e4 :D This is an awesome idea, I look forward to seeing how these turn out. we wont make you wait to long maybe we will hold a prerelease event on the forums and show the pics to the highest bidder a month before anyone else.... Maybe hold a chess tournament and give a set of them to the winner? 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. Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.20 16:15:00 - [15] Originally by: Dictator Dan hoping to post thorax pics today, maybe megathron pics tomorrow That is the plan. I get he rebel today, so maybe ill make little tutorial about the printer? Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.20 22:43:00 - [16] I added the small bit about the process! Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.21 16:04:00 - [17] Added the thorax pictures, Domis should be out later today :D Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.21 18:48:00 - [18] Posted the dominix pictures and some pictures of the shop. Also added some pictures of the printer. The vexors are printing right now and maybe we will see out first megathron by weeks end? Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.21 20:28:00 - [19] Originally by: Asroha Cloudwalker Nice stuff, when can I buy a set? When CCP decides to produce them. We are doing it has a school project and ontop of that our license agreement is non comercial. So chances are it wont happen. Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.22 23:28:00 - [20] 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!

Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.24 05:09:00 - [25] Originally by: Dictator Dan Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari not to sound idiotic but... DO WANT! 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.

Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.24 07:13:00 - [26] Originally by: Phoebus Athenian Can I get a set if I beat you in chess? ;) Id love to print up a set and send it to fan fest, but its a monetary/material thing . This is a public school we are making theese at. LETS SEE YOU NERF THIS ONE Kreul!!!... ...if that is your REAL name o_O Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.24 20:51:00 - [27] 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 LETS SEE YOU NERF THIS ONE Kreul!!!... ...if that is your REAL name o_O Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Jason Marshall Emerald Empire	Posted - 2007.03.25 08:30:00 - [28] 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.

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... LETS SEE YOU NERF THIS ONE Kreul!!!... ...if that is your REAL name o_O Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!

Can you show a picture of the way you have it oriented with all 4 viewports? In my previous job I worked with Rhino on a daily basis and also did rapid prototyping using STL files etc so maybe I can help you figure it out. Cerwyn Hey man, the problem we are having is that the little plates on the back of the ship arent all the way connected to the ship, and i cannot get a smooth connection in rhino cad, and the computers here are so laggy i cant do any precise work. So i could really use some help with this. Could you please eve-mail me ingame. Also anyone else that might be able to help! Thanks!
