Mass Effect M3 Predator Pistol in two parts

The original file was too large for printing, so I had to reduce it by 25%. However, at this size, it was still difficult to handle. The model was only available in STL format, which required time-consuming cleaning and conversion processes. Despite the complexities of the imported STL, RepG sliced the file without complaint, making it printable. However, the .skp files still reflect the 75% scale-down due to my oversight during importation. To print this model, place it flat on the bed with supports turned on. Some software may have difficulty handling the complex STL file, so be prepared for potential issues. After printing both halves, use krazy glue to attach them together and secure with a rubber band and duct tape until dry. Although it won't look as good as a one-piece model, it will be full scale and have a nice weight. Painting could enhance its appearance.
