SIMPLIFIED AIM-9L Sidewinder Missile-Highly Detailed- Accurate 3D print model

This is a SIMPLIFIED version of a fully 3D Printable replica model of an AIM-9L Sidewinder Missile. This is based off my other AIM-9L model. They are basically identical except this model has most parts integrated or combined together. There are 2 versions included. One has as many fasteners as possible integrated into the models so they aren't printed separately. The second version has no fasteners integrated. All fastener locations are empty. This is if you want to use real fasteners or print fasteners separately. Making it much easier and quicker to build and assemble

• Entire Rear Wing Assembly is one piece except for the rear NAS1352 Screw
• Targeting Section is about 10 pieces plus the acrylic windows
• the entire body is about 20 pieces(it will need to be sectioned to fit your printer. I can do this on request, usually takes a day or two)
• I will do reasonable change requests at no cost. I can’t rebuild entire sections!The entire Rear Wing Assembly, including Rollerons, and Canards are rendered from real AIM-9L Sidewinder parts. This model is extremely accurate! A complete fastener list is included so you don't have to go crazy trying to figure out what you need. Most have McMaster Carr or Amazon ASIN numbers. This can be used to directly order parts or as a reference of what to order. The entire model was created in AutoDesk Fusion 360

This version is also a newly updated version with significant improvements and corrections. It’s the first rebuild since the original post. Version 2 – Change log

• Total rebuild of the entire Control Section including the Nosecone, significant improvements to geometry and dimensions
• Total rebuild of the Rocket Motor, geometry and dimensions corrected, much more detail
• Total rebuild of Rear and Mid Hangers, geometry and dimensions corrected
• Total rebuild of the Canards, geometry and dimensions corrected
• Total rebuild of the Seeker and it’s rings, corrected geometry and dimensions
• Dimension corrected on the Coupling Rings, the Warhead Ring is actually wider than the other two. Thank you to the Military Service Member that emailed me images of the rings including both sizes
• Section locations and dimensions correctedWhat’s included:
• 2 versions: 1 with fasteners integrated for easier printing and assembly, 1 version requires fasteners (each with about 30-40 printable parts, the rest is fasteners)
• Hardware list
• Decal files
• Remove Before Flight Streamer files
• Nosecone Safety Cover files
• Fastener List with part numbers (most from McMaster Carr or Amazon)
• I put Chamfers and Gaps at attachment point for a more realistic look
• Universal Coupler so you can section the body into as few or many pieces as you want

MANUFACTURING SETTINGSI use 3DXtech Carbon Fiber PLA. It very strong and allows for the printing of thinner parts keeping the structural integrity. Print the coupling rings under .16mm if you can. The embossed writing doesn't do well above .16. Use the highest resolution you can if you want clean writing on the rings. Smaller parts can be printed at .16 layer height. Larger parts .20-.24 layer height. Only a few parts need supports. Part cooling is only necessary for the smaller parts and coupling rings if using Carbon Fiber. Print the Rear Wings with ‘Supports Everywhere’ because of the gap between the bottom of the Rolleron and the Wing surface
