EAS Omega Class Destroyer 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Babylon 5 television series encompasses not only breathtaking sci-fi adventures and inter-species wars but also profound love for every character and spacecraft that make up the complex canvas of its universe and turns it into something special. Due to its outstanding characteristics and massive construction EAS Omega Class Destroyer is considered the most impressive warship of the Earth Alliance fleet. The weaponry of EAS Omega Class Destroyer includes heavy particle beams and pulse cannon turrets mounted along the hull, this craft can even carry a squadron of starfighters (known as Starfuries) for combat support.

Inspired by the power and design of this technologically advanced warship our dedicated artist created this amazing model for 3D printing. The hull of the warship is equipped with rotating turrets, the author made the mechanism that allows the rotation of the central section. The design of the hull of the craft and its shape are recreated with great precision. EAS Omega Class Destroyer will make the collection of every Babylon 5 fan truly exceptional and unique!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

The EAS Omega Class Destroyer model for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 93 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 warship 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 EAS Omega Class Destroyer 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 EAS Omega Class Destroyer which is 1714000 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:2800 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:5600 for the DLP/SLA version.
