Hello everybody,
meanwhile, I did ask my
ARC friend Joe (crackerjazz) if he would not even have time and inclination for modeling the
Crawler Track Shoes in
1:160, whereupon, to my surprise, he has started right away.
BTW, he did also the 3D design of the
Aft Skirt Thermal Curtains (ASTCs) for my
SRBs.
And what the CAD expert has delivered with the help of the drawing without further ado, is simply stunning again, I think.
There's nothing like a good technical drawing with measurements, even if they are just so on the limit of readability.

Now he has to downscale the
Track shoe "only" still to 1:160, whereon I'm really curious.
Hopefully there will be some left over from the details after 3D modeling, especially as one can see based on
David Maier's Paper Kit how small these things are in 1:160.
While the holes in the
Pin lugs (Ø 3,3'') with
Ø 0,5 mm (1:160) and the
0,4 mm (1:160) wide grooves (green) should still be printable,
the small holes (pink) with
Ø 0,2 mm (1:160) should unlikely to be printable, although one should be able to live without them, because later they are hardly recognizable anyway from a normal viewing perspective.
Now I'm curious what my friend Joe is going to say, whereby
Shapeways has the last word anyway.
