Diaclone Scale GI Joe Cobra Stinger
Print Profile(0)
Description
This is my take on the Cobra Stinger from GI Joe. I've included two versions of the chassis, with two variations of each version. To make a complete Stinger, print all components found in “1 - Shared Parts”, then either parts from Standard Stinger or Eel Stinger. In either version, you will see two variations of the upper chassis - one where the trim is part of the chassis and one where the trim is a separate piece to be printed out and attached. You only need to print one of the variations to make a complete model and you do not need to print the trim if you print the chassis with it already attached.
The pictures are of my initial test prints of each. The regular Stinger (with missile launcher, printed in black), I oriented manually on the print bed. The artifacts on the surface are a bit rough. The Eel Stinger (with gun station, printed in blue), I let the software auto-orient and the print quality looks much better. I suggest letting the software do your orientation. The Eel version is shown towing the trailer and Night Landing I designed (available as separate download).
Differences between the two versions:
The standard Stinger, I designed to look as similar to the original Stinger as possible (within reason at the scale). The Eel version has my version of the Cobra Eel's harpoon gun molded into either side of the hood and a pair of Eel's backpacks molded on the roof. Additionally there is a snorkel modification on the passenger side (similar to what you would find on off-road Jeeps).
Notes:
The doors do work, but at the small scale, then hinges will not stand up to heavy use. On the standard Stinger, the missiles are removable but can be glued in place if you prefer.
