T-70 X-Wing 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

T-70 X-Wing is a successor to the signature T-65B starfighter that was initially manufactured for New Republic Defense Fleet. Similar to its predecessor, T-70 is equipped with a laser cannon on each wing and can boast of its hyperdrive capability and life-support system. The starfighter is designed for a single pilot and an astromech droid who fits into a socket near the engines to assist with repairs or even take over the flight. The author of the model for 3D printing mentioned that it is the BB-8 droid that he placed in the socket who was known to accompany his pilot Poe Dameron during flights on the T-70 X-wing starfighter. In addition to the newly introduced T-70’s signature built-in dual proton torpedo launchers, the X-Wing features advanced weaponry and proves to be versatile and manoeuvrable enough fighting both starfighters and capital ships. These are the advances that were widely used by the Resistance’s Starfighter Corps after the ship’s retirement making the X-Wing a signature combat aircraft of the Resistance. The author of the T-70 X-Wing model for 3D printing spent 130 hours in total to depict the design of one of the most famous starfighters from the Star Wars universe. The 3D printing model of T-70 X-Wing is remarkable for its incredible level of detail. Just imagine how your fleet inspired by the universe far far away will gain by the iconic starfighter!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

T-70 X-Wing model for 3D printing is an articulated assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 35 hours in total. The model’s cutting was chosen to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support. Moreover, for you to receive the cleanest printing result possible the starfighter was divided into many assembly parts, e.g. laser cannons, proton torpedo launchers, landing gear parts and even BB-8 astromech who occupies his designated place are provided as separate STL files. For you to display the X-Wing model among your starships collection there is a platform, though its usage is optional - you can also assemble the fighter with landing gear instead of using caps. The model’s wings can fold and unfold and X-Wing’s canopy is also articulated for you to display the starfighter in different modes. There can also be found special tunnels throughout the whole model that were designed by our team for you to easily introduce LED wiring. All the assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out so 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 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 T-70 X-Wing's actual length that is 12480 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/34 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/68 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

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