Predator Shoulder Cannon plasma Two Size File STL – OBJ for 3D Printing Model Printing Miniature Assembly File STL for 3D Printing FDM-FFF DLP-SLA-SLS
Assembly Figure more than 200 hours of modeling two versions however, the dimensions can be changed with each slicer
For FDM-FFF printers the cannon is 32 cm long, bands can be adapted in the lower part, to be able to place it on the shoulder. As seen in the photos, all parts of the cannon are movable, the screws can be stamped, but I recommend using 4 mm thick steel screws
in total Predator Shoulder Cannon is composed of 2,8 mil points all the files have been decimated by the polygons, but without losing the details, this makes the light files suitable for each computer
dimensions approximately FDM-FFF:
- W 10 Cm D 32 Cm H 25 Cm
- W 4 inch D 12 inch H 10 inch
dimensions approximately DLP-SLA-SLS:
- W 6,6 Cm D 20 Cm H 15 Cm
- W 2,5 inch D 8 inch H 6 inch
all files are already in place for optimal printing
Predator Shoulder Cannon3D model was designed to get a clean print result, without considering printing material consumption, However, you are free to rotate, or scale, every part of the model in the most convenient way for you. Each file has been checked and repaired with Netfabb The parts of the model are already positioned for 3D printing Compatible with every Slicer- Simplify3D, Care, Slic3r, etc ... All the parts of the model have been cut so as to be printed vertically, for a higher quality of printing
The Shoulder Cannon, also known as the Plasmacaster, is featured in every Predator movie. Each of them has a slightly different design but the principal is still the same. The shoulder cannon is the Predator’s signature weapon and is the one everybody remembers after watching the film. It’s also the most powerful weapon at the Predator’s disposal. Essentially, what it is, is a gan mounted on the Predator’s left shoulder. At the Predator’s will, it fires powerful blue balls of plasma at a target. It’s also extremely accurate because of features on the Predator’s mask. Firstly, the shoulder cannon is connected to the Predator’s vision mode. When an object is in motion, a red triangle focuses in on the target in its vision which is responsible for the great accuracy of the weapon. Secondly, there’s a targeting laser which is beamed from the Predator’s mask onto the target.
Generic
Recommended settings for printing
each part was cut to be printed vertically, to have a better quality print, so for the upper parts,
it is recommended to print with a 4-5 skirt
Quality
- Layer height: 0.1mm*
- Initial layer thickness: 0.3mm
- Bottom/top pattern: lines
- Horizontal expansion: 0.04mm (when entering 0.04mm index, the 3D printer perceives the model as monolith, i.e. as having no hidden layers).
- *Layer Height 0.1mm is recommended for a better quality for the printed model. However, the printing time will double.
As a STL file provider, our goal is to ensure that the files are error-free and printable in the most accurate way. This is why we only test print the most difficult segments of
the model’s parts.
The model's parts have been tested and printed in PLA. In case you need advice where to get your filaments from, check our partner's website.
