Not trying to be an @ss. With a reduction in size and the appropriate paint, this will look grand.
No problem. If I didn't want feedback I wouldn't have posted.

The feet are that long...well they're actually almost the same length as the hasbro included hand/foot part. Height is that tall because to hide the original foot peg it's gotta be slightly bigger. I'll see what I can do to shorten one of the side wings to make it look smaller. As for the colour I like white but if you prefer another colour such as black or yellow it green it's no big deal to print it in those colours.

For those asking if I'm selling these, I'm glad you like it but I never thought about selling them. It's not feasible for me to mass 3D print these as it takes time and I do it at work. Once I have something I'm happy with I'll probably throw it on shape ways or something. All my prototypes are done with PLA plastic. Click image for larger version

Re: My custom weapons/foot for CW Superion/Aerialbots

that;s awesome O_O

how do you get the 5mm ports to fit easily? You model it at 5mm and pray or there a trick?

Re: My custom weapons/foot for CW Superion/Aerialbots

I've found that if the ports are exactly 5mm(use calipers to check) I usually design 4.8mm because standard deviation of extruding PLA plastic seems to be 0.2mm.

edit: The above is if I'm printing a 5mm port and need a peg to fit in it. A printed 5mm port and a printed 5mm plug never fits. The plug always comes out bigger then the port.

Printing a port to fit a molded plastic plug like the official toys I just make a 5mm printed plug and it fits snugly.

Re: My custom weapons/foot for CW Superion/Aerialbots

So I made missiles for the plane/jets and Alpha Bravo felt left out. Lo! New weapons for A-B, he gets the Airwolf-ish upgrade kit!

Re: My custom weapons/foot for CW Superion/Aerialbots

Minor redesign. Some felt the feet were abit big so I took off the inner wings and this is what it looks like.

Tweaking the old feet and made a set of new slim feet. No screws needed.

Re: My custom weapons/foot for CW Superion/Aerialbots

I'm thinking of bringing in all my prototype feets/weapons to Fort York Library in Toronto this Wednesday after 6pm. I'll be up in the Digital Innovation Hub on the 2nd floor. An impromptu show and tell before I put them up on Shapeways....if I ever get around to figuring out how Shapeways works.

There is very little parking here. Coming by TTC take the Bathurst 511 straight down to Fort York Blvd. Library is across the street.

PM me if you're dropping by, just so I know numbers. That and we have to be quiet-ish. It's still a library.
