Erfolg Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I am trying to find a file that prints out an approximate 1/16 scale pilot figure. It would be best if it could be loaded into Autodesk Fusion, for further rescaling. It will be for a TN A10 Thunderbolt (which seems to be about 1/16 scale). Can anybody help?

GrumpyGnome Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Have you checked Thingiverse? I got a nice veteran civilian pilot that a chum printed - 3oz lighter than the one supplied.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re size in your slicer software rather than Fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted November 6 Author Share Posted November 6 I do not think that Ultimate allows resizing, or does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erfolg Posted November 6 Author Share Posted November 6 One of the many benefits of this forum, is that other modellers have more knowledge than me, they have done it, been there, know the problems and own the "T" shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 TBH Erfolg, I’ve never used Cura so didn’t know but Google is your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 This is a jet pilot file that I've printed and used several times, in different scales. It's provided for download a 1/12th scale, but it's simple to rescale it in Cura, using the scale button - either as a simple % change, or by scaling to a critical dimension that you are aiming for. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1105001 Image from Creality's version of the Cura slicer, which is very similar, showing the pilot figure scaled to 70mm across the shoulders. That's somewhere between 1/7th and 1/8th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 leccyflyer Where is the function to rescale in Cura. I have imported the file and printed as per original scaling. Rescaling slightly smaller would be the dogs doodah's for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I don't currently use Cura, I use Creality's reworked version of it, but when I did used to use Cura the rescale function was in the same place as in Creality Slicer - second icon down after the Move function, and signified by what look like two castles, or power station cooling towers. I can have a look on my old laptop next time I'm out in the workshop and check, but that is my memory of where it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Billinge Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 To be honest I use the Ultimaker version of Cura despite having a creality printer. Ultimaker has a few more features turned on. It gets more frequent updates and both versions are free. Best wishes KB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I always used Cura with my Mayalan 150, but switched to Creality's version when I switched to the Creality Ender 5 Pro and it's working fine. I have, however just downloaded Cura to have a look at a more updated version in due course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted November 10 Author Share Posted November 10 Thanks to all for the help and guidance. I have successfully printed out both versions of "Jet Pilot". One version printing easily, the alternative a little problematic. I have also used Cura to rescale, again successfully. I have learnt something again. Some formal training of using both Fusion and Cura would increase my abilities. At my age, the opportunities are very limited, reliant on videos an definitely this site. Thanks again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
