Star wars Kom'rk-class fighter/transport Kit card

Feast your eyes upon this fully articulating Kom'rk class fighter inspired by the “Nightbrother” ship piloted by Darth Maul in the rebel series. 

Wings rotate 360 degrees with locking positions at 90 degree intervals, but there is good tension in the wings throughout their motion. Ship body also rotates 360 degrees. This model is printed without supports. 

Update 07/24: Check out the Ezprint profile for a much more easy print, also can be printed much smaller with this file. Feel free to scale down as far as you want to risk! Some of the sprues may start to not be attached the smaller you go. 

IMPORTANT! Please double check that your first layer is slicing as expected. The “springs” in the wing hub are very thin lines and will print floating with the first layer being set at .4 mm or greater. I set my first layer height to .38 mm and it prints perfect! All other settings shouldn't matter too much. 

I have printed this multi-color and am happy with the outcome. I have a colored profile out but I have made a few small adjustments from the colored model to make assembly more easy (also I can't alphabet so the letters are wrong). Also, printing the boosters in multicolor is kind of a waste due to the many color changes so I am working on something for that. 

Instructions:

1. Compress the springs in part A by inserting a wing into the channel. Use your fingers to guide the pressure of the knob to gently push the spring inward until the most outward leg of the spring is even with the connecting holes on the hub. Remove the wing knob. Repeat on the other side. Check the gif in the pictures. 
2. Assemble wing hub by pressing parts B and C on part A. Align the knobs on part A with the holes on part B, apply even pressure until flush. Align the knobs on part C with the holes on part A, apply even pressure until flush. 
3. Assemble ship body by aligning parts D and E. The half cylinders of parts D and E come together to form a full cylinder with their end connector aligning to form one large connector. 
4. With part C forward slide the assembled wing hub onto the cylinder of the ship body until flush with the cockpit of the body. Spin the wing hub assembly and make sure it moves freely. 
5. This part is a little tricky so be careful! Slide part F over the remaining portion of the cylinder until flush to the hub. Spin part F until it moves somewhat easily, remove part F and attach it to part G by aligning the holes and knobs as above. Now align the connector with the opening in part G and press part G evenly onto the connector until the connector tabs are flush with the back of part G. There should now be 3-4 mm of wiggle room on the cylinder for the wing hub to spin more easily. 
6. Attach booster to wing by aligning the holes on the wings to the knobs on the boosters. Repeat for the other wing. 
7. Insert the knobs of the wings into the wing assembly. Enjoy! 

To operate the wings smoothly it is recommended to press the wing in and put tension on the spring. This allows the knob to enter a slightly larger cavity in the assembly so pressure isn't applied to the wing hub assembly connectors. After many spins of the wings you may notice your assembly isn't as tight as before, just give it a little squeeze and it'll be fine. Super glue is not necessary but could help if your model has issues with the wings having enough tension. Just apply a small amount of glue when you assemble the wing hub and it'll be nice and tight! 

I've been messing around with this model for a week or so and haven't had any durability issues yet! The springs still seem to hold their tension after many uses. Let me know if you have any issues! 

Special thanks to @fixumdude for inspiring me to give designing my first kit card a try! It was a blast. 

 I hope you have as much fun with this model as I have. My wife somehow isn't sick of Darth Maul blasting her…hmmm..errr yea.
