Description

This a new frame for my X-wing since not everyone was confident to print the tensegrity version.. So i made a new Suspended X-wing with a new frame..

I've been doing a lot of suspended star wars ships and i thought i do something different with the frame holding the suspended ships..

So this new Xwing version has a half frame holding onto the strings.. a follower of mine said to add windows to my frame so we can peek at the ships from the side.. so i decided to fully remove the side of the frame and expose the ships from the side..

 


The print is fairly simple with the Xwing and the half frame.. and another for the 4 thrusters on the back..
In the new frame version.. i have made the LED strips channel into the frame so there is no 2 parts frame to combine..

There is a hole for you to insert the LED strips into the frame.. you'll have 370mm room for the LED strips from bottom to the top of the channel.. so just cut the LED strips to size and insert it..

 

If you're interested in getting the LED strips.. here's my affiliate link to buy it..
5V USB RGB LED Strip Light https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oEk0hDa


TIP: when inserting the LED strips into the channel.. use a clear tape and tape the whole strips.. it is so that the LEDs on the strips dont get caught on the edge of each of the frame..

 

When printing suspended models.. one important thing to remember is to set the wall generator to arachne from classic.. this will make the slicer print the strings.. and NO SUPPORTS..

 

I hope you guys have fun printing this new version of the suspended X-Wing..

Very cool print, turned out great except the strands that suspend ship are frail and alot of the are not connected. looking for a fix to support it.
