About This File

Here are the eye model files that I created for Orin - my NDP dalek build.  All measurements were taken directly from the PDF plans.

You need to print one Front, one Rear, and eight Fins for the eye, and five Rings for the eye-stalk.  I printed everything using 1.5mm wall thickness and 15% fill. 

 

Everything was assembled with friction fit.  No glue or screws.  The fins fit tightly into the body of the eye and hold everything together. 

 

When assembling, I started by inserting the rear of all the fins into the rearmost point of the eye body, then folded them inward one at a time.  This works nicely because you can easily access any electronics that you install into the eye.  Just open out the fins from the front until the eye front drops out.

I have a 3d printer but I have no idea how to make it print this. I downloaded this straight onto an sd card. And then put the sd into the printer. Any advice on how to do it. Ps your doing a grand job cant wait to see more and thanks for creating this.

These files are .STL files, which are just 3D representations of the parts.


Before you can print them, you need to convert them into GCode. This is specific to your printer and your individual requirements (layer height, extruder temperature, print speed etc.). You will need to use slicer software on your PC do do this. For example Cura, Repetier, Slic3r
