ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Xenomorphs, the main antagonists in the Alien sci-fi franchise, are hostile cruel creatures that hunt humans led by the survival instinct. The strong body of a Xenomorph is its main weapon: the outer skeletal surface of the predatory organism, also called the mesoskeleton, is a shell that functions as a natural defense for it. Its mouth with sharp teeth and inner jaw is a signature weapon of Xenomorphs for quickly eliminating their victims. The razor claws and tail complement the arsenal of the means of attack of the Nostromo enemies.

Mesoskeleton Bust is a masterful xenomorph 3D model for printing from our contributing 3D artist. Inspired by the design of Giger, the author created a bust 3D printer design that captures the essence of the nature and organism peculiarities of Xenomorph: its chest, imbued with a vertebral column, consists of a wide ribcage with biomechanical tubes and dorsal spikes, the sculpting of which is flawless. The prolonged head of the creature that features a skull under the transparent shell is an impressive view that every horror fan will appreciate in these xenomorph STL files. This iconic sci-fi 3D model is a dream, just 3D print the bust it to turn into reality!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Xenomorph Mesoskeleton Bust for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 43 hours in total. The 3D print's anatomy, and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the creature to be depicted harmoniously in the intended pose.

The cutting of the 3D printing design was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the Eco version. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the 3D printable model are connected, Xenomorph Mesoskeleton Bust was divided into convenient assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 1.0 versions 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 Xenomorph Mesoskeleton Bust.

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 scale of the 3D print model was calculated from the height of Xenomorph. The 3D printer design’s chosen scales are 1:3 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:6 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

FAQ:

Generic

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.

Bambu Lab printing recommendations:

These basic 3D printing settings recommendations for beginners were tested in Bambu Studio 1.9.5. Test models were printed on the Bambu Lab A1, Bambu Lab A1 Mini, Creality Ender 3 S1, Anycubic Kobra 2, and Anycubic Vyper using PLA and PETG filaments.
