So I went ahead and printed the Eden Tokamak, and painted it too.

That looks really nice. I wish I had a miniature fusion reactor.

Science !!!

Damn lol;  wish you woulda told me I woulda made a much, much higher resolution STL-ready model for you.

All I had to do was cap the bottom, and the radar dish didn't survive very well lol

Any plans for more? I don't have any 3D printers near where I live, wonder if you can mail order objects?

Lol, that's awesome.

Let's get this show on the road shall we? :X

If I could make a request, could you make Lynx chassis' with removable Laser turret? :O

From Zhall's makerbot

That is really cool! 

Nice! I would really like a Lynx or some Outpost 2 unit 3D printed for my desk

Zhall, done any more 3D prints of Outpost things??

I should get around to modeling more OP2 stuff at some point heh...its fun.

Yes you should 

And also post the models in a public repository somewhere? That might be suitable for GitHub.

Uh, I don't know about that, Git is not so good with binary files.

It would be great to get all of the Outpost 2 3D models that are around in one place in a public repository, such as on our SVN? Or is SVN not a good idea for this Hooman, should  the SVN be kept mostly for code and Outpost 2 files?

The forum is so old so its full of dead links. I know Fenrisul and others did some great work on 3D models but I wouldn't know where to find them now. It would be great if we had a copy/repository at OPU.

Contains his original models (lowpoly folder), the 3D print-ready tractor, and some random renders I found.

It would be fine to put that in SVN. I've worked at places where large binary files got put in SVN. It generally wasn't a problem. The first copy ate up a bunch of space, but it was quite good at keeping the size of updates small. You have to be careful about how the updates are done though, to make sure it does a proper diff. If content is compressed, that doesn't work out nearly so well though.

Git stores files differently. I've heard it doesn't handle binary files all that well. In theory, the way it can pack multiple objects into a compressed archive, assuming a packed archive is possible, it should be able to get similar storage requirements, but I'm not sure if that happens in practice.

Fenrisul's models are probably not going to suffer ownership issues that would make it not suitable for GitHub. That's largely what I was getting at. Considering there are projects like FreeCiv, I can't imagine there would be any restriction on Fenrisul building and publishing his models. Assuming that Fenrisul is willing to publish them of course. I'm not sure how he feels on that topic.

The models are here
