Description

This is a more accurate and printable rendition of a Martian PDC from The Expanse. The PDC rotates on the turret and the turret itself can articulate on the mount. I made this model from the ground up to work with Martin's Rocinante ( Rocinante from the Expanse by Martin | Download free STL model | Printables.com ). I am marking these as a remix to connect it to his project. However, only two items in the downloads are actual remixes. The remixed PDC Elevator allows you to swap out Martin's elevator (part xxx_-_pdc.stl) so my complete set can replace his if you are still in the build phase. If you already built your Roci, then I have provided the PDC Adapter. The PDC Adapter allows you to use my canon and turret plate on Martin's main PDC arm (part xxx_-_pdc2.stl) with one of his pins. Please note these important items for consideration before printing: My kit will remove the ability to open and close the PDC bay doors (too large). I have include a full canon and one plane cut in two for all versions. The Hight Detailed set should only be made at 200% scale on FDMs. The set offers full articulation and working struts under the PDC. Glue is required to attach the Strut Mounts under the PDC turret (see pics for location). The set is not pre-scaled. The Medium Detail set has a canon with a slightly larger barrel, reduced detail on the turret, and a main PDC arm that does not have working struts. However, the set does still retain full articulation. This set is best for the standard scaled Martin Roci. The Optimized Detail set is the same as the Medium Detail set, but the PDC canon has been further simplified and retains the large barrel. Update 10 Sept 2023: Uploaded a desktop base.
