Economy – Printed Armies http://printed-armies.com 3D printed miniatures inspired by gaming pop culture Wed, 17 Feb 2021 03:27:30 +0000 de hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.17 Collector http://printed-armies.com/index.php/portfolio/collector/ Mon, 15 Feb 2021 07:29:20 +0000 http://printed-armies.com/?post_type=portfolio&p=58250

The Collector is used to harvest the igneous rocks and crystals formed at the volcanic pipes in the wasteland. To navigate in these rough conditions the vehicle features 12 individual suspended wheels with big diameters, allowing high transport capacities, while maintaining high speeds and excellent handling. The large windows of the cabin give a perfect field of view and the hermetic seals of the cockpit protect the crew from dust, poisonous gas and other environmental hazards. The claws at the front of the Collector cut and crush the cooled igneous resources and shove them into a scoop beneath the cabin. A screw conveyor behind the cabin transports and deposits the rocks and crystals into the large depot at the back of the vehicle.
This container features viewports for manual inspection of the gathered materials, as well as a round connection port to empty the tank back at base.

Silo http://printed-armies.com/index.php/portfolio/silo/ Mon, 15 Feb 2021 07:13:28 +0000 http://printed-armies.com/?post_type=portfolio&p=58241

The Silo provides additional storage space for resource crystals. The big dome structure is the silo proper, while the annex at the backside provides room for the necessary machinery. The resource rich solution is pumped in from the Extractor through underground pipelines. These connect to powerful pumps in the raised portion on the left of the annex. The solution runs through the big heat exchangers, which fill up the rest of the concrete structure at the back of the silo dome and recrystallization takes place. While the purified resource crystals are stored in the dome, the acid used as solvent is run back to the Extractor via the big pipe looping around the back of the Silo.

Extractor http://printed-armies.com/index.php/portfolio/extractor/ Mon, 15 Feb 2021 07:10:06 +0000 http://printed-armies.com/?post_type=portfolio&p=58239

The Extractor processes the resources gathered by the Collector. The Collector drives in to the Extractor building at the big front gate. Vacuum tubes transport the materials from the Collector’s tank to cone mills in the lower portion on the right side. The milled down crystals and rock are then separated by flotation. The raised middle section of the building houses big vats, where strong acids dissolve the rock and electrolysis provides a mixture of valuable elements. The crystals are mixed back in and the solution is heated until all solid matter is dissolved. The two funnels atop the building carry off fumes and heat. The mixture runs through two pipes, each with a heat exchanger located on top of the left and right side of the building. Recrystallization provides pure and highly valuable resource crystals, which are stored in the two big silos at the back of the Extractor. The used acid is purified in the annex at the left side of the building, ready to be reused.

Powerplant http://printed-armies.com/index.php/portfolio/powerplant/ Mon, 15 Feb 2021 06:59:55 +0000 http://printed-armies.com/?post_type=portfolio&p=58219

Capable of supplying several buildings with all the energy they need the Power Plant is the backbone of every base. Without it, your base will be paralyzed, as buildings cannot function properly without electricity. Luckily, our finest engineers designed an extremely compact and safe nuclear reactor, which they surrounded with every necessary equipment, buried under thick layers of reinforced concrete. It features a control section in the back of the building, a cooling tower capable of keeping the reactor at safe conditions at all times and highly efficient generators, which provide the electricity to light up every base. Should a power shortage occur nonetheless, our engineers recommend switching off less vital parts of your base and immediately constructing additional Power Plants.
