Solo - a Star Wars story - Irradiator Illumination Bank 3D printing Part 5


Progress so far:
  • Clips printed to hold the ‘windows’ in place.
  • Spacer/washers for the handle pivot points.
  • Handle details.
  • Handle sprayed up.
  • Sourced additional greeblies.
  • Illumination ideas.
Window clips:
These are to be glued in place, probably hot glue, to hold the two half's of the windows in place. They wedge under the windows.

The handle:
This got sprayed up in the silver and I printed out some small greebly details to add to the plain sides. I also printed out some poly washer/spacers for the pivot points.

Additional greeblies:
I went searching for parts to add to the overall appearance. I dug out old 3D printed pieces from previous builds as well as things that have been seen in the ‘SW Universe’ directories.

Illumination:
The unit needs lighting, so have been looking at how best to achieve this.
I’ve come up with a few ideas, but the top window illumination has been sorted.

This LED unit has five really bright LED’s, four of which shine towards the windows.
