Apollo STL File for 3D Printing

Apollo 3D model is inspired by and stylized according to the video game character with the same name. Also known as the God of Music, the video game character is capable of changing the course of the battle with a single arrow.

He created his first Lyre from the shell of a tortoise and the body of a cow. Apollo participated in a music contest against Hermes’ son, Pan, and he defeated him masterfully.
Appolo 3D model is a high-poly model, with fine surface details and accurate geometry. The model is static, coming with a support base which will enable you to display it on the desk or a shelf. 

The video game 3d printing model’s STL file is created n Autodesk Maya modeling program. The file is checked for errors and corrected in Netfabb. 

There Printing Details available for CURA 15.06 and a detailed instruction for those using Simplify3D.

*Follow the recommendations for CURA 15.06 and Simplify3D as shown in the guidelines. Check the file in the slicing program before sending it to your 3D printer. 

The Apollo 3D model consists of a single STL file, adapted to be printed on any type of 3D printers. 

Printing time: 23h

Printing material required: 16.4m

Buy Apollo 3D model STL file by clicking the green Buy button in the top-right corner of the model’s slider. Proceed to checkout, insert your PayPal or credit card details and download the STL file for Apollo 3D model. You will also download the PDF file for CURA 15.06 and Simplify3D printing guidelines.

Note: For those who don’t own a 3D printer but want to have one of the models in 3D printing form, please be informed that Gambody has partnered with 3DHubs, the worldwide 3D printing service provider. This means that you can print the STL file of a 3D model directly from our website. Tick the box next to the STL file you want to send to print and press the Print with 3DHubs button.

On 28.11.2016 the model files have been optimized and made solid. They now are adapted to be 3D printed using any slicing program. 3D model files are already available for purchase and download. 

Generic

This model was tested in Cura 15.06. To avoid printing problems, we recommend the following settings:

Quality

• Layer height: 0.1mm*
• Initial layer thickness: 0.3mm
• Bottom/top pattern: lines
• Skin perimeter line count: 0
• Horizontal expansion: 0.04mm (when entering 0.04mm index, the 3D printer perceives the model as monolith, i.e. as having no hidden layers).

*Layer Height 0.1mm is recommended for a better quality for the printed model. However, the printing time will double.

Check this **Simplify3D User Guidelines to avoid any 3D printing problems with this software.
**On 28.11.2016, the 3D model files have been optimized. You can print them without following these Simplify3D guidelines, as the model is solid.

The model has been tested and printed in PLA. In case you need advice where to get your filaments from, check our partner's website.

Other 3D printing recommendations:

Outer Shell Speed - 20mm/s and Support Speed - 40mm/s settings apply to avoid model deformation.  Apply other settings by default.

Disclaimer: This model will look outstanding if printed on SLA/SLS 3D printer. The accuracy of the model printed on FFF printer can vary from the result shown in the pictures.
