Queen of Blades STL Files for 3D Printing | Assembly Model

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

“I am the Swarm. Armies will be shattered. Worlds will burn…For I am the Queen of Blades.”

Captured and infested by the insectoid Zerg, a psychic Terran ghost Sarah Kerrigan is reborn as a raging agent of the Zerg Overmind. Kerrigan adopts the self-proclaimed title "Queen of Blades" and this image makes the character one of the most popular in the StarCraft franchise and earns her the status of one of the best video game villains to date. 

Infested by the Zerg as part of an experiment, Kerrigan transforms adopting some trademark features of the Swarm that were masterly captured by our contributing 3D artist. Dangerous and beautiful, the Queen of Blades 3D print model has an armoured carapace, claws and dreadlock-like antennae instead of hair. On her back, the deadly queen carries a pair of spiky skeletal wings that she skillfully uses as weapons against psi-blades. Capture the evil agent of the Zerg Swarm in all of her 3D printing glory!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Queen of Blades 3D printing design is a static assembly model and its updating and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 45 hours in total. The model needed to be reviewed in terms of anatomy and body proportions to be depicted harmoniously in the intended pose so the decision was reached to update the model as a whole, to cut it into assembly parts anew and to adapt it for different types of 3D printers taking into account the present-day technology advancements. 

Thus, the model was thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process, the textures all over Kerrigan’s face and body were enhanced, and the model's platform was simplified. The model’s cutting was chosen by our team to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you in the model’s Eco version to save resin. In order to ensure the smooth 3D printed result, the Queen of Blades model was divided into multiple parts, i.e. model's “wings”, claws, forearms, and legs are provided as separate parts.

All the assembly parts in FFF/FDM versions of the model files are provided in recommended positions that were worked out so 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. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for 2.0 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 height of Queen of Blades which is 1950 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.

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.
