    I think he said he used my pylons from Thingiverse. They fit my Gripen perfectly (as you might expect). What problem did you have with them, exactly?

    If people let me know of issues I can generally fix them pretty quickly.

    Will do when I get a chance

    I used the ones on thingiverse. I just slightly adjusted them with heat after they were printed to fit the bulges in the wings

    Thanks it's appreciated!
    Someday I'll get a friend to print these for mine :)

    I resized the Meteor missiles to 1:9 scale for the Gripen.

    Print as light as possible except for the mounting lug (if used). To stabilize printing vertically, some breakaway pads are added to the forward section. Remove after printing. Underwing pylons for the Gripen are here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4713773

    Yeah the drop tanks aren't yours. they're good just a little small. not much work to resize them.

    the drop tanks could do with re scaling as they're more 1/10 scale than 1/9

    The Iris T looks like mine:

    1:9 scale IRIS-T missile with lug to fit Freewing Gripen wingtip rail. The nose section has some breakaway parts that look like fins to support it upright while printing. These are not part of the missile - remove after printing. Will need supports. Underwing pylons at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4713773


    and pylons:

    These are a modified versions of the missile pylons by Bettsmums. These have their own mounting hardware. The lug and socket are the same as the Freewing standard. and should be printed separately with high infill for strength. The main body needs to be light - I used 10% infill. A socket is also placed under the wing so the rail can be removed. Depending on the accuracy of the printer, the lug and socket may need to be trimmed to make a good but not loose sliding fit. Be aware that there are small differences between the inner and outer pylons. They go immediately ahead of the bulges on the underside of the wing. Bettsmums' original is at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4708956


    I also have a Meteor that would fit (it's correct scale for the Rafale):



    And Sidewinders for the Gripen:

    Sidewinder at 1/9 scale for Freewing Gripen. Lug fits the keyhole in the wingtip rail. The mid section has breakaway support at the base to stabilize during upright printing. They look like fins with pads at the base. They can easily be removed after printing. Suggest printing lug solid for strength, 15% infill for the rest.


    Other stuff too that you may find handy:

    Meteor missile scaled for the FMS Rafale. The nose section has breakaway parts that look like fins to stabilize it during printing. Remove these from the finished part. There is also a pylon that fits the underwing keyhole slots on the wing. Print with minimal infill and thin walls to save weight, except the mounting lug which needs to be strong.


    And Sidewinders for the Gripen:

    Sidewinder at 1/9 scale for Freewing Gripen. Lug fits the keyhole in the wingtip rail. The mid section has breakaway support at the base to stabilize during upright printing. They look like fins with pads at the base. They can easily be removed after printing. Suggest printing lug solid for strength, 15% infill for the rest.

    Yeah they're 3DP.
    got the files from thingiverse and had a buddy print them.

    I might get him to reprint them in lightweight PLA with less infill
