A Mk2 Ejection Seat suitable for Post war jets such as the Gloster Meteor Mk9. Suitable for larger scale projects. Versions with or without Seat harness & parachute straps are included, and one without head armour plate. Versions with no foot rest are also provided.
This model is designed for 1/32 scale, however, it is printable at 1/48th scale, but the footrests and pull handle will be very fragile. Careful support removal will be necessary.A separate STL file with thicker parts suitable for smaller scale prints is also provided. Print at the highest resolution you are able, with as few supports as you can manage, and use only low anti-aliasing settings to preserve finer parts as much as possible.
Scale Settings:Useful settings: For 1/72th, Scale = 1388.888%. For 1/48th, Scale = 2083.333% . For 1/32th, Scale = 3125.000%.For 1/24th, Scale = 4166.666%
How to calculate this percentage for the slicer without knowing the model dimensions. First we know that the model unit is 1m, and has been interpreted by the slicer as 1mm. 1m = 1000mm, so to get the right scale, divide 1000 by your scale. EG 1000 divided by 48 = 20.83333. Now multiply the result by 100 because we need a percentage. The final result is 2083.333 as shown above. All other scales use the same formula.
NOTE: The model units are 1 unit = 1m. If your slicer uses 1 unit = 1mm, then it will initially be very small when you load it. Simply select the model & enter the correct scale:and it will then be correct. Note that plastic kit cockpits are often smaller than real life, due to the contstraints imposed by manufacturing, so you may need to adjust the scale accordingly. I have tested this model in the 1/48th Airfix Meteor kit, and with the foot restraints removed, is a good fit.
