Darth Sidious Emperor Palpatine Bust STL files for 3D printing | Assembly Model

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, is the ultimate villain in Star Wars. A cunning Sith Lord, he manipulates the fall of the Jedi and turns Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader. As emperor, he rules the galaxy with fear until Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance challenge his reign.

The powers of Darth Sidious inspired Gambody’s contributing 3D artist to create a breathtaking 3D-printable bust, depicting the character in Zeyd-cloth with an expression of pure evil. Don’t wait to 3D print this masterful movie design—you’ll be impressed.

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Darth Sidious Bust for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 54 hours in total. The 3D print's anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the character.

The cutting of the 3D printing design 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 3D printable model are connected, Palpatine Bust 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 Sith Lord Palpatine Bust.

The design 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 scale of the 3D print model was calculated from the height of Palpatine. The 3D printer design’s chosen scales are 1:3 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:6 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

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.
