ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 model for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 104 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 vehicle 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 and video formats. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and “Assembly Manual” before getting down to the Aston Martin DB5 3D model.

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 3D model’s scale was calculated from the length of the vehicle which is 4570 mm. The 3D printer design’s chosen scales are 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version, and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA version.
