Crochet G1 Constructicons

Question: I know I'm new here to this 3D Printing thing, but would it be possible to resize it to voyager style? JUST asking....

Sorry for my English

I didn't start with him, I did Bone Crusher first.
I advise to put paper clips in each hinge for more solidity. The technique for not having metal sticking out and cutting the wire easily is to first push it all the way in, then pull half a millimeter, cut flush, and push in what sticks out.
Be careful to check that you are not using the wrong part before fixing with a metal rod: it can be very difficult to dismantle without breaking anything.

Some ts are too wide. I fixed it with the technique of the filament and the soldering iron.

Otherwise it's a great thing to do. It's very satisfying to see the result after printing and mounting.
I can't wait to have the whole devastator.

I printed Hook and looks amazing but ts are a little loose(mainly the knees). I kind of fixed it with some glue, but I was wondering if any of the other constructicons had any issues with with being loose, and how you fixed it(if any).

Where would I find the manual

thanks a lot!!! I´m printing now, I love it!

Great model, I really like the detail. I am printing it at 125% (masterpiece size) and find that the ts are all very loose. I assume that is because of the scale-up. When you scale something up, not only to the parts get bigger, but the holes and gaps get bigger too. For this to be useable at MP scale, the parts with "interior hinge" ts need to have the parts modified to work properly.

As you know, I'm working on detailing these parts, but I've encountered an unexpected issue with hook. After printing everything, all the hinge ts are extremely loose. Like i need to put a small amount of super glue on the hinges to create friction; maybe this was intentional and I missed something in the manual.

However, my biggest looseness issue, is hooks smaller crane boom. Part Green B36, is extremely loose, and does not seem to lock in to that little bump at the end of the crane. Did I do something wrong or is there a fix to this?

pla

in what type of filament did you print this? PLA or ABS?

CRUZIN
63%

Hello, for legends size, what size percentage? thinking of getting it as same scale as the magic square 3rd party.. thanks in advance!

Diabloz.
You can try some thin sheets of styrene to fill in tiny gaps that cause lose ts. Thats what i did on the normal size version. Its works great.
If you try it, do a dry fit first to see how it works and then glue in place. I had to use it of Hooks knee ts.

That crane boom is a pain to print at MP scale. I had 3 fails at 70%+. 4th time worked with a ridiculous amount of s. At MP scale he has very loose knee ts. I used mounting putty but not enough apparently. I will try a dab of school glue.

@ SKYBOT245
jumbo clips for MP size
see manual pages 2 or 3..?

If you print it at masterpiece scale is it still enough room for the paperclips in the ts?

Thank you for sharing your experience

i found that printing the sliding hook at 126.4% scale made it hardy as well added much better for the robot mode. do the same with the grey hook and you will be much happier with your model.

Another issue when printing rear cab at the 45 degree angle i found it to keep breaking off or the print would turn out like a banana so lay flat and save the filament

@ PRIMUL_ARCHANGEL
just stay your normal setting

WHat quality settings do you recommend printing this at? I normally print my stuff at 0.12 with a 20% infill . Are yours in the pictures printed at that or are they printed at standard 0.2 ?

I see a NEW picture of FULLY assembled Combiner! are combiner files Available separate, or are they with files to re-?

Appreciate the follow up Thanks!

@ PLPARKSJR
combiner parts is deg. someday in september . see lastly picture

No Updates on Finished Accessories for people who already purchased your product?

Nothing too big, you'll barely notice it in the photos. Maybe just the hole for the rod for the hook, but I did that manually just heating a clip and pushing through. I am printing Long Haul now and I don't understand how both will peg together for Devastator. I am also not getting how the hip articulation in hook (I guess that's for combining) works, since the arms are in the way.

@LECHUKGL
nice to see you made small modifications
please your pics

Hi ! I am almost finished with this model. I think you forgot the hole for the pin for the hook in the extensive arm. I made one myself. Also, the little tab to hold his back seems a little bit short, I had so edit the STL file to extend it 1mm or it wouldn't peg.

We are all excited for Longhaul and Devastator! Can't wait

later of july maybe
and combined kit will be someday in august

I just finished Hook, and I'm compulsively checking Cults about 20 times a day to see if you've ed Long Haul. :)

I can't wait to see if you start on something else. Your work is excellent, and these models are so much fun to put together!

Sweet! I can't wait to get to him.
