Samurai FCX24, WIP, getting close to done
Update to my previous post(s): https://www.reddit.com/r/FCX24/s/v2IhqvLgXV
Remix of Domi's SJ410 body, and digid's body mount posts (though there's honestly not much of the original left at this point).
I'd been trying to do a pure magnet mount, but it just wasn't sturdy enough. The body kept coming dislodged with even minor amounts of pressure, so I decided to go for a magnet/hinge hybrid mount. It's probably a little over-engineered (especially the magnetic catch at the rear), but that body isn't going anywhere.
I feel like I'm about done with the design phase, and it's just fine-tuning appearance from here. I'm thinking about trying to print it in ABS/ASA, then acetone vapor smoothing it to get rid of the layer lines...then paint, windows, and lights...timeline TBD.
