Stargate 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The plot of the sci-fi television series Stargate SG-1 revolves around the powerful portal devices called stargates. Stargate is a mechanism consisting of hyper-advanced large rings that allow intergalactic travel; it is operated with the help of a special dialing system which allows to set the coordinates of a specific space location and generates a stable wormhole for the space journey. Being under the constant threat from the hostile Goa'uld race, the earthlings establish secret military teams, with SG-1 as a flagship team, to carry out exploration missions through the stargate to find methods of resistance to the Goa'uld. 

The Stargate 3D printing model from our contributor is an example of meticulous and skillful work. The 3D artist managed to recreate the portal device with great precision, and, besides the thought-out model building, you can see such details as alternative wormhole designs, ring engravings, and active control panel articulation mechanisms, among others. And our Team of moderators made sure that the STLs are top-quality so the model is perfectly adapted for 3D printing. Watch your printing dream become reality with the legendary Stargate! 

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

The Stargate model for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 109 hours in total.

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, and make use of the active elements designed by Gambody Engineers, the device 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. When downloading any model’s file you will also receive “Assembly Manual” for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF and video formats. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and “Assembly Manual” before getting down to the Stargate 3D printing 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 diameter of the Stargate. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:32 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:64 for the DLP/SLA version.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Bambu Lab, 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.
