Halo Fusion Core

Im a Halo Fan since Combat Evolved (seems like yesterday);

Recently while playing, for the first time i stopped and looked at a Fusion Core (until now ive throw them to countless enemies) and realized that, i can probably design and print one…. long story short… here we are!

Please enjoy this Tribute to an amazing Franchise!

There are 2 ways of getting this assembly done, follow the one you fancy the most, personally, i Prefer the second method, like the result more, but you be the judge:

(Left is method 2, Right is method 1)

Method 1:

• Print in glow in the dark* the “Core”;
• Print “Part 1” and “Part 2” files (via STLs or 3mf File);
• Remove Supports;
• Assemble (should offer some resistance in assembly, this is by design, so you dont need glue);
• Enjoy!!

Method 2 (advanced Print):

• Print in glow in the dark* the “Modified Core”;
• Print “Modified shell” without supports in the center and order a Stop @74mm (3mf file is configured with all of this);
• Insert the “Modified Core” with the base up (this is important, it will be the support for the roof);
• NOTE: I have to say, you need to be careful, If you snap the print from the base its ruined and you need to start over. This is why its “Advanced”)
• Resume Print
• Remove Supports;
• Enjoy!!
