3D model for Grundig Party Center 1000/2000 compartment door

[caution]

I was asked by a fellow member to replicate the storage compartment door for the Grundig Party Center 1000/2000, here are some different views of it.

Awesome! I suspect you will be getting lots of these requests.

Nice. Was this drawn manually, or with a scanner?

 

[caution]

Manually.

I should add - reversing these by hand isn't as bad as it sounds. Injection molds are machined with a CNC setup, which have a limited set of routing bits, so any radii are generally to the nearest millimeter, or in detailed spots, 0.5mm or the occasional 0.25mm. Linear dimensions are almost always no more granular than 0.1mm, but even if some dimensions were originally intended to be a multiple of 0.05mm, rounding up or down to the nearest 0.1mm only throws you off by two thousandths of an inch, so it isn't generally going to be a concern. That's getting down to the tolerance of the mold.

Manually.

Just curious.. how many hours was spent drawing this up? I'm always fascinated with your work

 

[caution]

This one took about 5 hours, maybe a little longer. I remember I started it one evening and finished it the next day

I'm simply flabbergasted. Are you also printing these yourself? If so, what 3D printer are you using?

 

[caution]

Nope! It's an HP Jet Fusion printer, at Shapeways

Holy Shhhhhite! Thats amazing
