Romulan Warbird 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The vast universe of Star Trek boasts a plethora of ships that are not only extremely powerful but also impressively designed! Much like other fans of the franchise, our contributing 3D artist strives to capture that striking diversity and offers you another capable vessel for your spaceship collection - the infamous mainstay of the Romulan Star Empire, the D'deridex-class Warbird.The prominent feature of the highly detailed Romulan Warbird for 3D printing is the combination of the bird motif and sci-fi design - the hull of the ship that extends between the warp nacelles is decorated with a feather-like pattern, and the forward section curves into a threatening "beak". Such an epic unit is simply vital for your 3D printed fleet!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Romulan Warbird for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 35 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the D'deridex-class ship model was divided into many 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 format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Romulan Warbird 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 Romulan Warbird ship which is 1042 m. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:2800 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:5600 for the DLP/SLA version.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Bambu Studio, 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.
