Black Pearl 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Wherever we want to go, we'll go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs but what a ship is... what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom.

The Black Pearl is a legendary pirate vessel used by Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa, who both fought over the captaincy of the Wicked Wench. The design of the infamous ship can not but impress: a completely black hull and flattering sails as black as night. The Pearl is extremely rapid and is the fastest ship in the Caribbean, it is the only ship that can outrun the Flying Dutchman which was considered to be the fastest ship both on and beneath the sea. For Jack Sparrow, the Black Pearl is a symbol of freedom, it's a place he belongs and is ready to sell his soul for.

The nigh uncatchable pirate vessel that was raised from the seafloor and transformed into a powerful ship left a great impression on our contributing 3D artist who created this truly masterful and spectacular model for 3D printing. The level of detail of the Black Pearl is undoubtedly great, the artist recreated the tiniest features: the bow of the ship is decorated with a figurehead featuring a beautiful woman with a bird in her hand, beautiful corbels and lamps adore the stern; there are numerous cannons that are hidden under the gun ports along the hull; the shape of the wooden hull of the ship indicates in belonging to galleons, that combine the best design features of the caravel and carrack. The Black Pearl is not just a vessel, it’s a dream of all captains! Do not delay and start printing this stunning project today!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

The Black Pearl model for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 169 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 ship 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 version in PDF and video formats. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and “Assembly Manual” before getting down to the Black Pearl 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 length of the Black Pearl. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:64 for the FFF/FDM version.

• N.B. It is highly recommended to print the statues and the columns using a resin 3D printer;
• It is not recommended to print the statues of Triton with filament 3D printers;
• For FDM 3D printing, the figurehead must be printed with 0.06 mm layer height and at a low printing speed;
• For FDM 3D printing, it is recommended to use the simplified version of corbels;
• The rope can not be printed; you have to knit the ropes;
• You can sew the sails and knit the rope ladders for greater realism;
• We recommend that you print the sails horizontally, increase the bed temperature (100°) and give the shape to the sails while they are flexible;
• You can print the Black Pearl using a resin 3D printer if its characteristics allow doing this. In this case, the masts should be made out of wood.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, 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.
