Harkonnen Ornithopter 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Active

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Harkonnen Ornithopter is a military version of Ornithopters, transport vessels in the Corrino Imperium. In comparison with the Ornithopter from Dune: Part One, Harkonnen 'thopter comes with three pairs of wings and has a more massive hull. The bird-like aircraft is capable of performing numerous functions, such as transportation, aerial searches, troop carrying, and escorting, among others.

Being passionate about the Dune franchise and excited about aircraft building, our contributing 3D artist created the Harkonnen Ornithopter model for 3D printing that true fans can only dream of. Extremely detailed and thoughtful design together with imposing articulation and presentation possibilities make this aircraft a perfect choice for 3D printing hobbyists who value build quality and precision. Add Harkonnen Ornithopter to your collection of printables and make it shine even brighter!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

The Harkonnen Ornithopter model for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 98 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 aircraft 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 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF and video formats. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and “Assembly Manual” before getting down to the Harkonnen Ornithopter 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 aircraft which is 32000. 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.
