The yellow ones would not fit due to the redesign. I printed the new body section (with fingers reaching upward to accommodate the vanes) but the printer glitched out and broke the fingers, snapping the protective face plate off the print head assembly. (It was after that that I decided to shut down the Print Shop until a fix was in.)<\/p>\n<p>But for your edification, here is the TB3 rocket, just test-assembled, with the seven parts I have currently printed. Every part on this body will be re-printed due to design changes, <em>except<\/em> the nose cone which is fine. The pre-assembled rocket stands at 15&#8243; currently. Once the engines are attached, it will be taller.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tb3-early-test-fit.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-170\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tb3-early-test-fit.jpg\" width=\"329\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tb3-early-test-fit.jpg 329w, http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tb3-early-test-fit-164x300.jpg 164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tb3-concept-test-render-500.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"412\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-55\" alt=\"tb3-concept-test-render-500\" src=\"http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tb3-concept-test-render-500.jpg\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tb3-concept-test-render-500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tb3-concept-test-render-500-300x247.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.huxter.org\/words\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tb3-concept-test-render-500-364x300.jpg 364w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So I think you can see that real progress is being made. Once the print bug is fixed, I should be able to get this finished in a week or two. (There is still some considerable modeling to do to make the various parts of the engine arms fit with each other and the body.)<\/p>\n<p>Note: The whole thing will be reprinted in highest resolution later, when I&#8217;m satisfied all the parts are &#8220;finished&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the black and yellow vanes of my TB3 Rocket being redesigned, I was able to test-fit the old black vanes into the new body section.
