3d print models

[JoshT]

I'm starting to look at planning the skyview mounting locations on the subpanel of my RV-10. Printing the 3D models is going to really help. My plan is to mount nutplates located by the holes in the 3d-printed models.

However when I import these models into SolidWorks, the model analyzer complains about a whole bunch of errors. Like 4000 of them for the Arinc429 box. Cura also highlights some faces of the model saying they are not "manifold". Then when I print, the mounting holes get filled in with material.

Is there some trick to getting these fixed? Maybe does somebody have a .STL already fixed that I can use?

Hi Josh,

I was able to create an STL in SolidWorks without getting error messages.

Try the STL file I put in this folder.

Hey that worked great for me. Do you have the other files also? ADAHRS, COM, EMS, XPNDR?

Hi Josh,

I made the STL files you asked for. Same folder as linked in post 2.

Looks like the SV-COM-425 transceiver is legacy with the new transceiver being SV-COM-T25 which shares form factor with -T8. I put the -T8 STL into the folder linked from post 2.
