One response to “18. Build the Exoskeleton: Doors”

  1. Does anyone else have a difficult time with the rear door hinges? I can get the front ones to mount and open up fine. But the rear doors pop off if I open them very much at all. They barely seem to be on.

    I am printing these in Nylon and having slight issues with printing the doors, so it may just be me. I re-printed them using my 3D-printer and hopefully those work better. It would be ideal if they could be mounted on properly with some hardware – but I understand that space is limited on scale models such as this.
