STUKA bomb dimentions needed

Gordinir8 Sun Mar 24, 2024 12:05 pm

I bought a Stuka today, seems to have everything but bomb and a broken antenna, i found a post and member @Kim has uploaded couple of photos with a bomb next to a ruller but can someone with a bomb and a caliper measure the exact dimensions please? (prefer mm but inches will be fine also) I want to designed it and 3D printed. Afterwards the digital file will be uploaded for free of course at thinginverse for others to use.
PS: How did the bomb release mechanism works?
Forgot to put on drawing, total bomb length needed also

Hey Thomas,
I'm on the road right now, but if no one posts before I get home, I'll try to get you the #'s you need tomorrow.

Kim Thanks, I have already design it with your ref photo and i will adjust all dimensions as soon as i have the numbers...I wonder how close i got. RC Plane

I have a bomb if you want it.

Thanks, let me see how it will go and ill let you know, besides i want to put this 3D file online so others can have it.

Hey Thomas,
Here we go. I'm leaving everything on the table in case I missed something and you need a follow-up.

There is a tab on the left side of the bomb's release fin that tapers to flat toward the rear...its position and measurements are included. The release mechanism on the Stuka is basically a tab that flexes as it's pulled inboard by the third string, releasing the bomb. There is also a small platform in front of the release fin to match the contact of the band behind the fin...its numbers are included.

Let me know if I can get you any more info!

Hey Kim just return from work (evening shift is not very productive for modelling) ill check those tomorrow morning and let you know about it.

Repro $15 free shipping..It is not from me

Ok here is the first test shot, printed in two parts but I'll make one piece option available. Attachment tab will be separate also. Maybe I will design and print the original stuka SC250 type bomb for more realistic look.

Nice job.

I know nothing about 3D printer. Can you tell us how much it cost to you to make this bomb ?
Printer + plastic wires may cost lots of money

Gordinir8 Thu Mar 28, 2024 9:04 am

A 3D printer like this cost around 250$ The filament cost is around 20$/kilo so cost of this bomb depends of its weight say 20-25 cents. The last years 3D printer is one of my basic tools in modelling and not only. I am printing servo mounts engine mounts and even fuel tanks, wheels, horns and almost anything you can imagine.

Thank you for the answer.
You do a very good job.

Gordinir8 Sun Mar 31, 2024 4:55 am

So here it is published and free to download for anyone want to print it. I would like to special thank @Kim for the detailed measurements he took for me. Beer Cheers

For any questions feel free to ask.
