j-tk Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Are you willing/able/legally allowed to share the cad model you used to print that out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadshot462 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 JTK - Not sure, that would be a question for SQUAD. I used a model that was available in a pre-0.16 version of the game. It was .mu file that I converted in a format that could be opened in Google SketchUp then unfolded on Pepakura. I would have liked to make free paper models of the the new pods, which I may ask SQUAD for permission. No promise though, takes some time to create a new papercraft.

j-tk Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yeah, think this thread could go into the "You know your addicted to KSP when thread" lol, when your goal is to buy a 3d printer to make a Jeb and pose him with your cat (Mine would love it!!!)

I know this is old and I doubt you'll respond... but how in the name of Jeb did you convert the .mu file?!?!!?!?!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is old and I doubt you'll respond... but how in the name of Jeb did you convert the .mu file?!?!!?!?!??Since he mentioned "pre-0.16", it was probably an old model file, and those were basically free-for-all for conversion.

deadshot462 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yeah the way the game is currently structured, models cannot be extracted anymore.But here are the Jeb, Bob, and Bill in real life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamedSteak Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Even though I couldn't justify the cost myself, those are really frickin cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kepicness Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) I have recently built a 3d printer. Now, if only there was a way to get those cad files. Perhaps squad could just sell them at a fairly reduced price. Edited June 19, 2013 by kepicness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketTurtle Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 I don't have pictures, but to anyone that has these, do yours have any artifacts? On the top of Jebs helmet there are 3 itsy bitsy small black dots. They're not very noticeable, but I was just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweller_Benthos Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 They should really make it so you could upload your .craft files to shapeways and they would print out your rocket design. I might go for that. They have a deal with Minecraft to print out your world designs, they even have a special world viewer tool to select the part you want and send it to them, so I would think it would be pretty trivial for shapeways to print KSP rockets.

NeoMorph Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Squad should make a rocket, put a Shapeways Jeb inside and fix a camera facing it AND THEN ATTACH IT TO A WEATHER BALOON... Imagine a picture of Jeb in space. Then offer the Jeb as a reward for a purchaser of KSP in that month. Would be a way to boost sales heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think anyone would re-distribute them and if they did, they would be caught very quickly. And anyways, if SQUAD was that nervous about it, they could just upload them to Shapeways themselves. You can't download the 3D models from Shapeways.
