Jabba The Hutt & Leia 3D Printing Figurines in Diorama | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINE

In the third instalment of the original Star Wars trilogy, Return of the Jedi, the powerful crime lord Jabba the Hutt was shown residing in his luxurious palace among the sandy dunes of the planet Tatooine. There, he took special pleasure in humiliating his subjects and enemies, which was also forced upon the captive Princess Leia and resulted in a new pop-culture phenomenon! 

Jabba The Hutt & Leia 3D Printing Figurines in Diorama depicts the incredibly detailed alien resting on the rich dais with his hookah pipe, exuding lust and greed. Beside the slug-like creature, the defiant Huttslayer dressed in a skimpy dancing-girl costume, with a bronzium chest harness, lashaa silk skirt, and a chain around her neck is patiently waiting for her time for revenge. Wouldn't that be a grand display piece for your Star Wars collection?

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Jabba The Hutt & Leia for 3D printing is a static assembly diorama and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 39 hours. The figurines' anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for both characters to be depicted harmoniously in the intended scene.

The model’s cutting 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 figurines are connected, the figurines were cut along the contour of Jabba and Leia's bodies. For you to achieve the cleanest 3D printed result, the characters' heads, limbs, Leia's pieces of clothing, braid, elements of Jabba's dais, pillows etc. are provided as separate assembly parts.

All assembly parts of the FFF/FDM versions come in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate.

The figurine 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 3D printing diorama's chosen scale is 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

Generic

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.

Cura printing recommendations:

These are basic settings that were tested in Cura 4.8.0 slicer. 

The test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality CR-10S Pro V2, Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS 3D printers with PLA and PETG filaments.

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 at hand. 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 is not recommended!);
- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill;
- For all parts of locks (“ge_lock” in “Source files”) you need to change "Brim" type to "Skirt" in Build Plate Adhesion section.

Slic3r printing recommendations:

These basic 3D printing settings recommendations for beginners were tested in Slic3r 1.3.0 software. Test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality Cr-10S pro v2, Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS, Anycubic Vyper with PLA and PetG filaments. 

Note:

- You can upscale your 3D printing models. Downscaling is not recommended - it can make smaller parts of the model unprintable, distort the model’s level of detail and result in assembly issues. 
- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
- When printing Lock connectors, we recommend setting the “Brim width” parameter to 0 in the "Skirt and Brim" print settings. In that way, the Locks will be 3D printed with a Skirt only.
