ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINEThe species of Xenomorph with its prominent debut back in 1979 in the Alien film had a groundbreaking success staying with the franchise fans throughout the decades till nowadays. The extraterrestrial creature has succeeded in hypnotising others with its seemingly elegant yet terrifically deadly form, spurring various interpretations of the art forms, and surely the modern art of 3D printing. Being an embodiment of a superlative killing machine by nature, the Xenomorph activates into proper use every single inch of the mighty body, sending to death any living being on its way. The poison is the core element of the Xenomorph species, as it prompts the death of any ally, with so little chances to survive. The toxic acid permeates the entire body of the Aliens enabling perfect slaying of the opponents when the venomous excretions make a great killing tool. Seeing how graceful a toxic extraterrestrial beast can be, the author was bewildered to such an extent that his try to epitomize the noxious creature got a splendid 3D printing form. Just as if reproduced from the most exquisite host in the whole universe, the Alien took a splendid posture by the author’s views, taking him long 175 hours to interpret this Xenomorph as if captured inside the toxic chamber. The long, massive, ribbed muscular tail, its large, curved, prolonged head, arched body, extended fingers and extremely sharp claws - all speaks about menace and toxicity. That suggests a successful addition to the collection of 3D prints on your shelf. Would you dare to print such a gem?ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTINGAlien in Chamber is a static assembly figurine and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 52 hours in total. The figurine’s anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the extraterrestrial creature to be depicted harmoniously the intended pose. The model’s cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the figurine’s Eco version. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the model must be connected, the figurine was cut along the anatomic folds of the alien’s exoskeleton. For you to achieve the cleanest 3D printed result, Alien’s head, its tongue, various sets of dorsal tubes, the spiky tail, etc. are provided as separate assembly parts. The base of the model is optional - you may display the Xenomorph as if inside the toxic chamber or on a simple stylised base. All 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 that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. When downloading any figurine's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF format.The figurine 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 Xenomorph's actual height that is 2200 mm. The 3D printing figurine's chosen scale is 1/8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.VERSIONS' SPECIFICATIONSFFF/FDM 1.0 version features:- Contains 39 parts;- A printed model is 320 mm tall, 254 mm wide, 314 mm deep;- Assembly kit includes locks to connect the parts without glue. One lock 38_ge_lock_7S(x3) needs to be printed 3 times; another lock 39_ge_lock_10H(x27) needs to be printed 27 times;- Alien can be displayed inside the Chamber or on the platform;- All parts are divided in such a way that you will print them with the smallest number of support structures.DLP/SLA 1.0 version features:- Contains 15 parts;- A printed model is 160 mm tall, 127 mm wide, 157 mm deep;- Alien can be displayed inside the Chamber or on the platform;- All parts are divided in such a way to fit the build plates and to ensure that support structures are generated where needed.DLP/SLA Eco 1.0 version features:- Contains 15 parts;- A printed model is 160 mm tall, 127 mm wide, 157 mm deep;- Alien can be displayed inside the Chamber or on the platform;- Contains some hollowed out parts to save resin.SLS 1.0 version features:- Made as solid one-piece figurine;- A printed model is 160 mm tall, 127 mm wide, 157 mm deep;- Contains 3 parts - a one-piece model with two platform variants separated.WHAT WILL YOU GET AFTER PURCHASE?- STL files of Alien in Chamber 3D printing figurine which consist of 72 parts;- 4 versions of files for this model for FFF/FDM, DLP/SLA, DLP/SLA Eco and SLS;- High-poly detailed figurine of Alien in Chamber;- Detailed settings that we provide as a recommendation for Cura , Simplify3D and Slic3r for the best print;- Full technical support from the Gambody Support Team.You can get Alien in Chamber for 3D printing​ immediately after the purchase!
