1/35 Aliens APC

thingiverse

UPDATE: I've finally got a matching dropship! Check out my Facebook group for all the details! This is my 1/35 scale APC from the Aliens movie. Assembled with the main gun stowed, it's about 265mm long. It's a relatively straightforward model, broken down into around 60 pieces to get the best print results for each part. The majority of it can be printed on an FDM printer with a 200x200 print bed, but there are several small parts that would be ideal for printing on a resin printer. The parts are numbered in the order they appear in the instructions, which you can download here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~canison/APC/AliensAPCInstructionsV2.pdf Some parts need multiple prints, and have x2 or x4 in the name to indicate how many should be printed. If you take care with the assembly and use an M3 screw with washers on the main gun, it should pivot smoothly and slide along the rails to go from the rear stowed position to the top. The wheels can also be secured with M3 screws. If Thingiverse is experiencing issues and not downloading the parts in a zip file, you can get them here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~canison/APC/AliensAPCSTLs.zip If you plan to print this on a larger scale, some of the parts won't fit on a 200x200 printer. I've split the relevant big parts and made some tweaks to others to save plastic if you want to print a jumbo version. You'll still need to download and resize the rest of the parts, but the split enlarged parts can be downloaded here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~canison/APC/2xAliensAPCSplitParts.zip If you encounter any issues or have questions, it's best to reach out to me on my Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/360348098234645/ I'm also working on a matching 1/35 Dropship that this will fit into! EDIT 9/3: Part #7 was incorrectly exported as the same part twice. I've uploaded the correct version. EDIT 13/3: The back of part #20 wasn't flat, which may have caused printing issues. It's been revised to be flat now.
