This is a fully 3D Printable replica model of an AIM-9X Sidewinder Missile, Full Scale. It can be scaled to any size. Full scale is based on a 5main tube, 80% is a 4 main tube, and 60% is a 3" main tube. It works best using aluminum tubing for the main body but the main body can also be 3D Printed. NAS Aerospace MilSpec Standard hardware is used where possible. NAS Aerospace fasteners add very important detail but not required for any build.
Over 110 separate parts Comes with a list of hardware and fasteners. Most have McMaster Carr part numbers.
Specifically designed to be 3D Printed and assembled
The full scale model will fit a any real LAU launcher that is compatible with any Sidewinder Missile
Reasonable changes can be made to the model to fit your build at no extra charge after file purchase
Entire model can be dismantled and reassembled. This may be useful for storage or shipping
The Arm/Safe Switch is functional
Rear wings rotate
Thrust vector fins rotate
Camera Gimbal rotates and tilts
Very few parts need supports
Aluminum tubing can be substituted the main body tube, target section, guidance section, and seeker bodies if desired. There is files for these parts to 3D Print
3D PRINTING SETTINGS The RAR Zip File contains the following
I used an Ultimaker 2 Extended+. Smaller parts at .16mm layer height and .2-.24mm for the larger parts. Most parts don't need support. The support is minimal for the parts that need it. I print exclusively with 3DXtech Carbon Fiber PLA. The rigidity of the Carbon Fiber enables thinner, more accurate parts. 100% infill, 2mm perimeters. Only a few parts need supports and it's a small amount of supports.
