ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

“Ack Ack Ack!!”

The theme of an alien invasion in movies isn’t a novelty for sci-fi enthusiasts, but there’s hardly a movie like 1996 Mars Attacks! comedy. Directed by Tim Burton, Mars Attacks! pays tribute to the genre of sci-fi of the 1960s, portraying the Martian army extremely lethal in a wonderfully silly manner! An all-star cast of Tim Burton’s cult B-movie is led by the great Jack Nicholson who plays the US President James Dale. However, the brightest stars of the film are indeed the large-brained comical Martians who seem to invade the Earth for the sole purpose of having fun! One of our contributing 3D artists decided to capture in 3D printing form one of the representatives of the merciless Martians and dedicated around 145 hours working on the project. The 3D printing Martian is very determined, angry and is clearly ready for action! The model is pointing a large blaster rifle (although it seems to be aiming at no particular target). The alien’s exaggerated eyes are full of hatred and its toothy jaws are open in a crazy laugh. The author of the model made sure to pay careful attention to every little detail and extraterrestrial texture of the model, so we urge you to take a closer look at the patters of the Martian’s massive brain or at the finely detailed surface of its sturdy armour. The 3D printing alien is equipped with a pair of nitrogen tanks, intricately connected with a system of pipes, as the race of alien destroyers doesn't breathe in Earth's atmosphere. Mars Attacks! is a fan-loved movie full of goofiness, unexpected twists, A-list actors, and one-of-a-kind villains. Now you’ve got a perfect chance to tame a Martian yourself - just print the awesome 3D print model!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Martian 3D printing design is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 45 hours in total. The alien’s anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the hostile extra-terrestrial to be depicted harmoniously in the intended attacking pose.

The model’s cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the model's Eco version. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the model must be connected, the model was cut along the contour of the martian’s armour seams. For you to achieve the cleanest 3D printed result, the model's head, hands, boots, alien blaster, nitrogen tanks, etc. are provided as separate files. The bubble helmet also comes separately in order for you to print it with the transparent material. The alien blaster and the nitrogen attachment were split element by element for the cleanest 3D printed result possible.

All the assembly parts of FFF/FDM versions come in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for 1.0 FFF/FDM and 1.0 DLP/SLA versions in PDF format.

The 3D print 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 average height of Martian which is 1500 mm. The 3D printing design's chosen scale is 1/8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

Generic

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Bambu Studio, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.

Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use, and especially the particular assembly part you are working with. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review, and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.

Note:

You can scale up the model (downscaling for FFF/FDM 3D printers is not recommended!);

All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
