Kirov airship from Red Alert

Kirov reporting in! The Kirov airship 3D model was inspired by the legendary strategy game from Westwood Studios/Electronic Arts, Red Alert. I designed the model using Autodesk Fusion 360 with utmost precision. Printing settings are as follows: To ensure optimal tolerance, I printed body_part_1 - 4.stl, wing.stl, engine.stl, and engine_holder_side.stl at a scale of 150%. All other parts require a 145% scaling. A layer height of 200 microns and an infill percentage of 5-10% are recommended. However, only the smallest parts need higher infill levels. Support is necessary for keel_part_3.stl alone; all other parts can be printed without it. The printing process requires approximately 20 hours and a half spool of PLA filament. Assembly involves sanding paper and super glue to put all the pieces together seamlessly. The following parts required multiple prints: Engine.stl was printed five times, propeller.stl four times, engine_holder_side.stl twice, and engine_holder_back.stl three times. Bomb.stl and wing.stl were each printed three and four times respectively.
