Stormtroopers 3D Printing Miniatures | Assembly

HISTORY OF STORMTROOPERS

Stormtroopers are elite warriors of the Galactic Empire. They are the embodiment of the absolute authority of Emperor Palpatine. These faceless servants of the New Order by force and cruelty carried the will of the Emperor into thousands of stellar systems throughout the Galaxy. In the heyday of the Empire, stormtroopers became a living embodiment of the power of ruthlessness and fear. All Stormtroopers are dressed in white armor that distinguishes them from other military units of the Empire. Imperial stormtroopers originated from soldiers-clones of the Great Army of the Republic. At the end of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic was reorganized into the first Galactic Empire. As a result, the Great Army was transformed into the Assault Corps and the clones were renamed into "stormtroopers". As Imperial soldiers, stormtroopers participate in combat operations together with the forces of the imperial army and navy because all the stormtroopers are unconditionally loyal to the Emperor.

ABOUT THESE 3D MODELS

Stormtroopers 3D models for printing were created in ZBrush. These models are saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. 

FDM version features:

- Contain 19 parts;

- Made in 2 variants: Stand and Offensive;

- Made with connectors. One part of connector (1_GE_Connector_B_B (5x2)) you need to print 5 times for each varian of Stormtrooper 3D Model;
- Removable part of gun in each variant;
- All parts are divided in such way that you will print them with the smallest amount of supports.

SLS/SLA version features:

- Same as FDM but smaller and made as 1 part in 2 variants.

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

Note: Before starting 3D printing the models, read the Printing Details for CURA 3.1.0. Software.

There are 19 parts for FFF/FDM version and 2 parts for SLS/SLA version.

All parts of connectors should be printed at 100% infill.

Scale: His tall in life is 1830 mm. Models made as 1/8 scale in FDM version and 1/16 in SLS/SLA version.

FDM version dimensions:

After being printed will stand:
- 228 mm tall, 78 mm wide, 72 mm deep - Stand;
- 223 mm tall, 91 mm wide, 110 mm deep - Offensive;
- Connectors should be printed at 100% infill to make them solid.

SLS/SLA version dimensions:

After being printed will stand:
- 115 mm tall, 39 mm wide, 36 mm deep - Stand;
- 111 mm tall, 46 mm wide, 55 mm deep - Offensive;
- Has only 1 part in each version, to keep printing costs down.

WHAT WILL YOU GET AFTER PURCHASE?

Generic

These models were tested in Cura 3.1.0. and printed on an Ultimaker 2 in PLA material.

Note: All parts of connectors should be printed at 100% infill. One part of connector (1_GE_Connector_B_B (5x2)) you need to print 5 times for each variant of Stormtrooper 3D Model;
