Revision as of 18:41, 24 December 2017

Back to Kresty Style Build guide page.

This is the base section of the fusion generator, the laser cut Styrene parts. Shown here without the 3D printed greeblies.

Note that Kresty built a too-tall version with extra C band and D ring - those aren't in the newer V3 plans, so ignore that bottom vertical section.

Before assembly, it is important to determine where you want to remove the top. Between the Grill and the Base is s decent choice.

Fusion Generator Base

The base consists of the A disc, E, H & H1 rings, with the E and G bands strapped around it. The bands have 3D greebles. After painting, the Lower Hoses are added. We have an Alignment Template to help mark the greeblie positions.

Start by placing the B supports on the A disc and test fitting the E & H rings. In this picture I have also placed some of the grill parts, and, as noted I have an extra D ring that isn't in the V3 plans.

After ensuring that the fit of the disc and rings are good, you can glue them with an appropriate styrene model cement or CA glue.

Bands

The G band can simply be glued into place. I used one layer for the G band. If you use two layers, then I'd suggest alternating the seams. You may need to trim the band ends to fit or fill tiny gaps.

The E band is a bit tougher. We want the top and bottom edges of the E band to be filed so that it fits flat with the base and the F ring. File the top and bottom in the same direction at about 45 degrees. The cross section should then look like a parallelogram. normal_Base_Construction_28429.jpg
