ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The Xenomorph, an iconic extraterrestrial creature, has fascinated sci-fi fans for years. Known for its terrifying appearance and ruthless nature, the Xenomorph became famous through the popular "Alien" film franchise. It originated in Ridley Scott's 1979 film and has since become a symbol of extraterrestrial horror. The Xenomorph's lifecycle begins with a facehugger, a parasitic creature that attaches to a host and implants a Xenomorph embryo. This leads to the birth of a chestburster, which violently emerges from the host's chest, marking the next stage of development. Once fully grown, the Xenomorph takes on its adult form—a tall, menacing creature with an exoskeleton, elongated head, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. It possesses incredible strength, agility, and acidic blood that can corrode almost anything.

With its keen senses and predatory instincts, the Xenomorph hunts with precision. It can track down and eliminate prey in dark environments, using its second mouth to deliver a fatal strike. The Xenomorph has been encountered in various human-inhabited settings throughout the "Alien" series. It adapts to different environments, perpetuating terror. Beyond the movies, the Xenomorph has inspired literature, video games, and collectibles. Its distinct appearance and menacing presence have made it an iconic figure in sci-fi and horror. No discussion of the Xenomorph would be complete without mentioning two significant figures in its lore: Ellen Ripley and the Alien Queen. These characters have played pivotal roles in the "Alien" franchise, shaping the ongoing battle between humanity and the Xenomorph menace.

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Alien Xenomorph Escape 3D printing design is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 72 hours in total. The model's anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process.

The model's cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the Eco version. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the model are connected, Xenomorph was divided into convenient assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the 1.0 FFF/FDM 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 1.0 FFF/FDM and 1.0 DLP/SLA versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the "Assembly Video" and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to Alien Xenomorph Escape STL files.

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 the Alien. The 3D printing design's chosen scales are 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.
