Hasbro TFA X-Wing Cannon Jig

For those of you that bought the Hasbro TFA X-Wing toy and were dismayed at the crookedness of the cannons here is the tool to fix them! Please read the use instructions carefully.

This is a simple precision jig that will hold the cannon straight while it cools down after gently heating it with a blow dryer. The cannon does not need to be super hot for this to work. Once placed in the jig it takes about 5 min for a hot cannon to cool down and become straight. Don't rush it.

The jig cutouts are symmetrical and meant to hold the cannon at key points while allowing clearance around the part details regardless of the which side they are on. The small flat ridge at the cannon barrel base is always intended to be facing up

The STL file is Cura scaled and oriented for printing.

The process seems pretty straight forward to me and was very easy to do but I will point out that you IMPLEMENT IT AT OUR OWN RISK. I have included some tips below to help make this process successful. Let me know if there are additional questions on how to use the jig. I may post a video of instructions if people are interested.

As you can see in the before and after shots it works great!
