As far as I know the engines of the Victory II were Hoersch-Kessel Drive manufactured units, but I don’t know if the Empire actually retrofitted some of those into actual Victory I-class vessels (read: those with the massive missile batteries). It is also possible that those Victory I’s with the three engine design had just a third LF9 ion engine (which may have been leftovers from scrapped or heavily damaged VSDs from the Clone Wars) added to at least improve their speed a little compared to the original Republic model. I doubt this discrepancy was ever firmly explained in the Read more ». Even if the VicStar doesn’t have any missiles left, the ten Heavy Quad Turbolaser turrets can blow the Procursator up easily if it stays in range too long. The Procursator was described as a sort of “War emergency program”-destroyer which is quick to build and holds medium weaponry with three heavy axial turrets and around eleven medium batteries across its hull and as such it is more like a light star destroyer. Even the Venator, which counts as a medium destroyer/carrier hybrid, is likely stronger in terms of overall firepower and shield strength compared to the Procursator.

The Victory I Read more ». Which means that a battlegroup comprised of a Procursator, a Victory and a Venator would actually make an effective team which supplements each other well I’d say.I also remember some claims made on the net that the Venator and Victory are actually “sister designs” of some sorts and make a good “tag-team” when used by the Old Republic cause the Victory with its bigger and stronger armor can shield the Venator (whose armor is strictly spoken mediocre for a capital ship) while the Venator can help remedy the lack of speed and fighters of the Victory. Both classes are 900 meters long and have very similar hull design just like the ISD I and ISD II have only minor differences appearance-wise. The main differences between the Victory I which was also used by the Clone Wars-Republic and the Victory II which is an Imperial-only ship are in terms of armament, engines and armor. The Victory II doesn’t have the massive missile batteries but some Ion Cannons instead, better armor (due to less storage room needed with no missiles) and most importantly better engines. The main “weakness” of the Victory I are its undepowered sublight-engines which make Read more ».

The Venator class Star Destroyer was the main line capitol ship used byt the Republic during the time of the Clone Wars. This model is an exact replica of the one seen in Republic at War by EvilleJedi that had taken me months to replicate.

This model has already won several international design competitions. You don’t have to be a Star Wars superfan to appreciate the skill and attention to detail to complete this intricate project. Sander’s 3 Year JourneySander currently works at a filament manufacturer in the Netherlands. He has worked with “at least 50 different 3D printer manufacturer brands” and estimates he has over 60,000 hours of 3D printing experience between his work and home projects. With his extensive 3D printing experience and a passion for building custom PCs, he embarked on what turned into an epic 3 year project.Sander’s goal was to build the entire YAZI – Venator Class Star Destroyer by hand with all the plastic work done with sheets of styrene.

He quickly realized he was not going to achieve the level of detail that he wanted and decided to purchased his own CNC, laser, and 3D printer to improve quality. The YAZI is built upon an aluminum laser-cut frame that helps guarantee stability with all the hardware generating heat inside the 3D printed parts. The aluminum sheets were then bent and placed upon a stainless steel stand. After completing the frame and stand, it was time to start the 3D printing sections. Sander used his LulzBot TAZ 5 to 3D print his parts using 0.2mm layers of mostly PLA filament at 50mm/s. Sander estimates that the ship took over 300 print hours to complete!After installing all of the 3D printed parts Sander then ran around 300 feet of fiber optic cable, painted the entire ship, and installed the high spec PC inside. Once the project was finally complete it was immediately shipped to Las Vegas to be featured at CES, one of the largest tech shows in the world.

The video below is an interview with Sander at CES 2016, explaining the ins-and-outs of his YAZI – Venator Class Star Destroyer. His favorite features include:. Support Structures: “My work is most recognized by the fact that the prints get better the closer you look at them. Nothing beats Simplify3D in its ability to provide and place supports where and how you need them.”. Install solaris in vm download. Multiple Process Feature Inside a Single Print: “This is the absolute money maker for me in Simplify3D. In fact, it’s so quick and easy, I do a speed and temp test at home before I start a big 30 hour print. It has saved me from expensive and annoying misprints.”.

His advice for any “young padawan” maker out there is “Remember, a high-end printer can certainly help, but it is the guy or girl working the printer and understanding how the printed material behaves that makes the beautiful prints.” At Simplify3D, we couldn’t agree more and that is why we are committed to providing so our community can continue to get the most out of their 3D printers. We would like to wish everyone a happy Star Wars day and may the fourth be with you!Be sure to check out Sander’s for even more details and keep an eye on his new for future projects.
