Be careful when taking the order!!! This takes weeks to do right non-stop, and will tie up your printer the whole time with 8+ hr prints. While 1 or two orders is fine, think carefully about taking more if you plan to hub other orders. I just printed 3, it took 3 weeks to do that many parts. And yes, you will have misprints and need a lot of support material. 3Dhubs needs to account better for that, have a better pricing for taking this order ($100 +).
Also, do not buy filament from Bee Supply. They wound it too tight on small spools, it did nothing but snap on the printer.
I actually managed to get a Pip-Boy Edition (Preordered on Amazon, June 24th) but of course when it finally arrived (They screwed up the shipping on mine like they did everyone else’s so I had to buy the game on Steam on the 10th…and got the box on the 11th…) it turned out the bloody thing didn’t fit. It’s a hella display piece though. But I’m going to need to print a bigger one.
I’ve been able to print just about anything from amazon or ebay so long as I measure each roll. The grey was Gizmo Dorks, white was Flash Forge, Clear was Mg Chemicals., Black was Esun PETG
Add Simplify3d to your overall cost, Its worth every penny.
It would be easier to tell you what to stay away from ( black Shaxon ABS). I generally try not to bad mouth a product but that stuff was terrible. I cant vouch for the other colors since I refuse to use it. Shaxon PLA prints just fine.
No, no… Phone fits fine. (It’s a Samsung Galaxy S3) The stupid thing doesn’t fit my arm, when I put it on it ends up so far down my arm that it covers my wrist and I can’t move my hand. Unless I take the molded foam-rubber pads out…and then it’ll fit further up my arm and it’s barely okay.
Honestly they made the thing smaller than it should’ve been just so that phones would be the right scale for the screen. The diagonal on the Pip-Boy’s 4:3 ratio screen should probably be at least 50% larger to be real-world scale to the game model…but then phones wouldn’t work with it.
It’d be cool to redesign it from the ground up to be 100% accurate to the in-game model, and accommodate a small bare HDMI-connected 6-7" LCD panel w/touchscreen like you can get off eBay, the guts out of one of those ‘Android TV’ sticks, and a LiPoly battery. Make it a self-contained unit.
A friend asked me to print up a couple of these for Halloween. “No problem” I said, without knowing what I was getting into(LOTS OF PARTS!). I printed all the parts in ColorfabbXT and shipped them off to my friend who did the rest. He was very happy and I was very impressed with the final product, although I wish he sent me better pictures. Anyway, I didn’t realize how much these were in demand. I’m not sure what I would charge to make more because it was pretty time consuming, even with multiple printers, but $100+ for sure if anyone is interested. https://www.3dhubs.com/miami/hubs/mindfull

I guess that would be the large one. If you look at the button with the downloadable files in the thread (screenshot attached), the large model mentions iPhone 6
Hmm, no video, but there’s a tutorial about it on Instructables, which walks you through all the steps: Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV – Ytec 3D 1
Thanks for the response! I am mostly confused over the fact that it says iPhone 6 is the largest download but the dimensions from Apple say the iPhone 6 is 138.1 mm X 67.0 mm X 6.9 mm which lies with the dimensions of the smallest download. I don’t know which one would be better since they are two very different options.
Bringing this thread back to life. I’ve filled two orders for this recently. It is a fantastic model to print, all of the parts are built for printing and come aligned correctly to the print bed. I offer the prints in whatever base color the customer selects and then print out a plate of white parts, black parts and translucent for the lamps. This makes assembly and finishing easier as there is very little painting to deal with. https://www.3dhubs.com/grand-rapids-mi/hubs/miaviator
I’ll have to pull up the last order when I’m back at the office. It’s around $50 + $12.50 shipping for two priority mail boxes. Takes about a week continuous to print at 240 micron ABS.
There is a link in the first post here for the large version which lists the iPhone 6. Just set the hub location to “Wyoming, Michigan” and you’ll see my hub. It doesn’t matter what you select for material or printers. Just let me know what base color you want and post a link to this board so I can adjust the pricing for you. (My hub editing functionality is currently broken so my pricing and lead times are off)
Why are these scaled to 108%? I have a customer that wants a set in PLA and want to know if I can just print the files how they are without any problems with fitment or scaling.
I haven’t printed one myself yet, but I’d say it’s likely intended to improve upon the fit of the original Bethesda one… As an owner of the Pip-Boy Edition, I can tell you literally first hand that it doesn’t fit everybody. (And that was scaled down from the in-game device to better fit a smartphone as the screen…so that was part of the problem.)
