Eagle Transporter 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Active

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The unimaginable disaster of the thermonuclear explosion propelled the Moon away from Earth’s orbit and stranded 311 personnel of fictional Moonbase Alpha in deep space. But to their surprise, the universe started to unravel right before their eyes! Black holes, space warps, alien civilisations and unprecedented phenomena filled their journey to the ultimate destiny that we followed so closely.Take a deep dive into the enigmatic universe of Space: 1999, the most expensive sci-fi show at the time, with the Eagle Transporter space craft for 3D printing. The reliable Eagle will help you explore the secrets of the world and accommodate you comfortably - highly detailed and authentic Command and Passenger Modules are so inviting. The complex superstructure, side pods, and massive nuclear engines enhance the futuristic look of the model. 3D print the magnetic Eagle Transporter and complete any mission! 

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Eagle Transporter for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 45 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the Eagle Transporter was divided into convenient assembly parts. All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 1.0 version are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. After downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Eagle Transporter model.

The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.The model’s scale was calculated from the approximate length of the Eagle Transporter - 26 000 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1/32 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/64 for the DLP/SLA version.
