E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial STL Files for 3D Printing | Assembly Model

HISTORY OF E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL

A group of aliens that had come to Earth with a research mission quite accidentally left behind one of their crew members, named E.T. During his stay on Earth, he was found by children he became friends with, and lived with a boy named Eliot. All this time he tried to repair his transmitter to contact his family and fly away to his planet. He was very intelligent and quickly adapted to the human lifestyle. But in the end, he managed to get in touch with his own race, and a spaceship flew in to take him back home.

ABOUT THIS 3D Model

The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. 

FFF/FDM 1.0 version features:- Contain 13 parts;- Made with 2 variants of platform and body with locks and without it;- All parts are divided in such way that you will print them with the smallest amount of supports.

DLP/SLA 1.0 version features:- Same as FFF/FDM but smaller, also made as 7 parts;

SLS 1.0 version features:- Same as DLP/SLA but made as 4 parts for economy your material;

All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

Note: Before starting 3D printing the model, read the Printing Details for CURA 3.4.1. or Simplify3D Software.

There are 13 parts for FFF/FDM 1.0 version, 7 parts for DLP/SLA 1.0 version and 4 parts for SLS 1.0.

Scale: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial height is 1200 mm. The scale of this model made in proportion to it. 1/8 for FFF/FDM 1.0 version and 1/16 for DLP/SLA 1.0 and SLS 1.0 versions.

FFF/FDM 1.0 version dimensions:After being printed will stand - 185 mm tall, 100 mm wide, 100 mm deep;

SLA/DLP 1.0 and ​SLS 1.0 version dimensions:After being printed will stand - 93 mm tall, 50 mm wide, 50 mm deep;- Has a few details, to keep printing costs down.
