If I lay the model down on it's face it might even print. worth a shot
In case anyone is curious about how I design without drawing stuff, here's the openscad script for the target.
I designed it actual size - so to make a model small enough to print, I scaled it down to 6% actual size.
Anything after 2 slashes '//' is ignored by openscad - so used for commenting or disabling a line of script if necessary.
Edited: $fn=100; // gives any round object 100 facets
module pipe(pl,pd,wt){ // pl=length of pipe, pd=diameter of pipe, wt =wall thickness - module creates pipes of any size
difference() {
cylinder(d=pd,h=pl);
//cylinder(d=pd-2*wt,h=pl); // commented out to make solid pipes
}// end diff
} // end mod
module tpiece() { // length 126, depth, 96 - module makes t pieces
translate([0,0,0])rotate([90,0,0]) pipe(126,40,3);
translate([0,-63,0])rotate([90,0,90]) pipe(96,40,3);
} // end mod
module topframe(){ // creates the top frame with virtual diana
translate([0,0,0]) pipe(1000,40,3);
translate([0,1000,0]) pipe(1000,40,3);
translate([0,0,0]) rotate([-90,0,0])pipe(1000,40,3);
translate([0,0,1000]) rotate([-90,0,0])pipe(1000,40,3);
translate([0,563,0]) rotate([0,90,0]) tpiece();
translate([0,500,500]) rotate([0,90,0]) cylinder(d=500,h=5);
//translate([0,0,0])
} // end mod
module base(){ // creates the base frame
rotate([0,-90,0]) {
translate([0,0,0]) pipe(1000,40,3);
translate([0,1000,0]) pipe(1000,40,3);
translate([0,0,0]) rotate([-90,0,0])pipe(1000,40,3);
translate([0,0,1000]) rotate([-90,0,0])pipe(1000,40,3);
} // end mod
} // end mod
module target(){ // final module that stitches everything together.
translate([0,0,1100]) topframe();
translate([0,500,0])pipe(1010,40,3);
translate([0,563,0]) rotate([0,-90,0]) tpiece();
base();
translate([-1000,0,0]) rotate([0,30,0]) pipe(2000,40,3);
translate([-1000,1000,0]) rotate([0,30,0]) pipe(2000,40,3);
translate([-1000,500,0]) rotate([0,42,0]) pipe(1500,40,3); // center prop
translate([0,0,1163]) rotate([90,0,90]) tpiece();
translate([0,1000,1163]) rotate([90,0,-90]) tpiece();
translate([0,0,20]) rotate([0,0,0]) pipe(1020,40,3);
translate([0,1000,20]) rotate([0,0,0]) pipe(1020,40,3);
}// end mod
scale([0.06,0.06,0.06])target(); // runs the 'target' module and scales it down to 6%
If you copy and paste that into openscad and press f5 - viola a 6% scaled target model will mysteriously appear
Now I did manage to print this, had a fair bit of spider webbing and burning those off is what warped a couple bits of the print
But, damn it did print
And judging by how strong even this tiny frame is, the full size one should be plenty tough enough.
