D77 Pelican 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Active

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The versatile Dropship 77-Troop Carrier, also known as Pelican, has been helping the brave UNSC troops for more than 50 years. It is capable of medium-lift operations, swift dispatch of ground troops, and even fire support. But it seems as the craft has just been assigned another, no less important mission - becoming the most exciting 3D printing project for our hobbyists!

The highly detailed design of the infamous Pelican was meticulously prepared by our contributing 3D artist for your enjoyment. And with the help of Gambody engineers, the model came to life with lots of interesting articulation mechanisms that are worth exploring first-hand.

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

D77 Pelican for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 50 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, preserve the active elements introduced by Gambody engineers, the D77 Pelican model was divided into many 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 format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the D77 Pelican 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 D77 Pelican which is 3050 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:64 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:128 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.
