Product Description
Here's an awesome nav chair for the De Agostini Falcon model's hold.
I've included a high level of detail - up to the limits of 3D printing. It's vastly more screen-accurate than the lousy De Ago one. This is the chair that appears in the Falcon's hold, next to the navigation console. (note: I also have a complete navigation console with chair as a combo if you prefer!)
It's almost identical to the pair found at the back of the Falcon's cockpit - basically a Martin Baker ejection seat, adorned with foam rubber strips and a Tupperware container lid - except this one had a white plastic dish stuck at the top, whereas the cockpit ones didn't.
This model requires a piece of brass rod, 9.5mm long and 1.2mm in diameter. This is because the main support post for the chair, when 3D printed, would be insanely fragile and overscale. To get the diameter right you need the metal rod. Note: Americans will need to buy 3/64" brass rod.
I've made two versions of the base. One has a recess that can accommodate a 2mm diameter 1mm thick rare earth magnet. The other has a recess for a 3mm diameter 1mm thick magnet.
That's an optional thing. You can either have a longer rod that extends down through the bottom of the base and into a hole drilled into the floor. Or you can use a shorter length of rod and install a magnet. A second magnet under the floor will then hold this chair neatly in place, but you can move it if you want. Note that the 3mm magnet will be stronger but might be trickier to install. This is because the sprues have to be 1mm square in cross-section in order to be printable by Shapeways. But the sprue impinges on the internal recess of the 3mm magnet, unfortunately.
Finally you'll notice a bunch of weird bars built into a cage around the chair. This is because the armrests, though slightly oversized, are still ultra fragile. The cage is there to help protect the details in shipment, though of course you still need to be crazy careful when painting and installing the chair!
Thanks to Joshua Maruska for publishing his nav chair model. Although this product contains no data from that model, and was built from scratch, his excellent research was a really useful resource!
Please read the following if you're interested in these items.
These accurizing parts are not mass-market commercial products. I made them for my own use, and have put them here in case they're of interest to someone else. Possibly you, since you’re reading this.
These are components for the serious model maker who wants to build a more accurate miniature. They require finishing. If you don't want to trim, file, sand, and glue, then these aren't the parts you're looking for!
The parts are tiny, and easily broken. They push the limits of today's 3D printers. The detail in the digital previews is all there, but it won't always be visible at the miniscule sizes that this scale requires!
