Today I printed the 3D plan of version 2 of my Primary Buffer Panel I'm working on for a while in Wings3D now. Jumped a lot of hoops to convert STL to SVG only to discover that Wings3D has an export for that built in xD

This is loosely based on a Macross Valkyrie cockpit (the rest of the world may know that as Robotech). It's still WIP and I'm still moving stuff around.

The print gives me the opportunity to get a feeling for size and proportions for the first time. Damn… that's huge 🤓

It's damn sexy looking. That centerpiece is an MFD with function buttons on the sides, I guess?

@DmMacniel @[email protected] yeah, that's the plan :)

I like my v1 but there is not enough screen "estate" xD
