Corellian Corvette 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

CR90 Corvette (commonly referred to as the Corellian Corvette or the Rebel Blockade Runner) happened to be the very first ship to appear in a Star Wars film. Initially designed by and for Corellians, the Corvette had a wide variety of users across the galaxy, from governments to pirates and galactic corporations. Renowned for its versatility, the design of the Corellian Corvette allowed for easy configuration so the ship could easily be used for freight hauling, light escort, as a passenger liner and even for diplomatic missions!

Gambody’s Star Wars fleet was lacking its own Blockade Runner and thanks to the efforts of our contributing 3D artist there is now a brilliant 3D printing representative! The model of Corellian Corvette boasts an extraordinary level of exterior detail and sports the ship’s standard armament configuration. We know your fingers are itching to get down to the fantastic Rebel Blockade Runner model, so less talk, more 3D printing!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Corellian Corvette for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 54 hours in total. For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support the spacecraft model was divided into many assembly parts, e.g. its turbolaser cannons, thruster exhausts, sensor arrays, various hatches, etc. are provided as separate STL files. 

All assembly parts are provided in STL files of the FFF/FDM version in recommended positions that were worked out 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/SLS 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Corellian Corvette 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 actual length of the Corellian Corvette which is 126000 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1:136 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:272 for the DLP/SLA/SLS 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.
