3D printing - Jake Lunt Davies (Part2)

Last week (December 2021), I finished off the lower body of the GONK, as well as creating the unseen sides.

Now, I’ve not drawn this to scale, but by eye only. When it came to 3D printing, I decided to print it at 50% half scale. To save on material and mostly time, as I wanted to see it lol.

Here's the link to part 1

Here's the link to the 3D model I created.

3D printing - Jake Lunt Davies

 

Tuesday 21st December, whilst scrolling through my Twitter notifications, I came to Jake Lunt Davies latest tweet. Pre-concept Gonk droids! Liked these designs so much that I just had to draw them up in CAD. I say draw, but its more create in 3D.

I’ll have to create an opposite side, it could be a mirror image of the rear panel area, minus the ‘tube’ or a mix of the other concept versions as well, GONK’s aren’t symmetrical.

December 24th:

Created the middle ‘belt’ section this morning. Drew the shape roughly and then used the ‘sweep’ function to loop it around the waist.

I then added rad’s to the edges and corners.

That’s as far as I got before the Christmas break.

More updates soon
