Narcissus 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODELThe Narcissus is a shuttlecraft and lifeboat of the interstellar towing vehicle USCSS Nostromo. Designed to aid in case of emergencies, the Narcissus was stored on the underside of the Nostromo, waiting for its chance to help the crew. In an unfortunate turn of events, the hostile Alien Xenomorph was able to infiltrate the Nostromo and the ship was destroyed in an attempt to kill the creature. The last remaining crew member, courageous Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley, boarded the Narcissus with the sole hope of surviving the disaster, only to discover that the violent monster hid in a small crevice of the shuttle. To pay homage to the game-changing Narcissus lifeboat and the final battle that kept us on the edge of our seats, our contributing 3D artist decided to create the Narcissus 3D Printing Model that can now become a part of your movie fleet! This model for 3D printing explores the ship’s streamlined forms and the plethora of little details with overwhelming attention. The shuttle’s exterior is covered with complex patterns that make it look extremely true to life. Equipped with two forward or four rearward thrust tunnels, the shuttle will be able to navigate in whichever direction you require. Beneath the ship’s outer body, lies the elaborate single internal cabin created by the 3D modeller. The interior perfectly reflects the numerous cryotubes, lockers and storage space for supplies and equipment that the original ship had, as well as the central control unit that Ripley used to blast the threatening creature into space. Last but not least, the Xenomorph itself is hiding in one of the walls of the Narcissus 3D Printing Model. However, do not fear, all of it will only help you create a fantastic piece for your collection!ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTINGNarcissus for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 55 hours in total. For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support the spacecraft model was divided into many assembly parts, e.g. its Airlock, engine thrusters, the covers of thrusters, the Xenomorph, rear thrust tunnels, Hypersleep Chambers, cockpit windows, etc. are provided as separate STL files. The covers of the four Rear Thrust Tunnels, windows of the cockpit and two Hypersleep Chambers are provided separately and can be printed with transparent filament. Tunnels throughout the ship’s body are provided for LED wiring to light up the interior of the shuttle and the four Rear Thrust Tunnels. A spot to hide the battery is provided inside the Central Control Unit. For you to display the Narcissus model among your Space Ships collection there is a special stand provided. All assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order 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 model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA/SLS 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Narcissus model.The model 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 the actual length of the Narcissus that is 16300 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/50 for FFF/FDM version and 1/100 for DLP/SLA/SLS version.VERSIONS' SPECIFICATIONSFFF/FDM 1.0 version features:- Contains 58 parts;- A printed ship is 144 mm tall, 254 mm wide, 328 mm deep;- Assembly kit includes lock 58_Lock_x57 to connect the model's parts securely without glue that needs to be printed 57 times;- Highly-detailed exterior of the craft and elaborate interior design;- The Airlock opens to reveal the highly-detailed interior of the ship;- Model is made hollow for you to introduce LED wiring and light up the interior of the shuttle and the four Rear Thrust Tunnels;- Inside the cockpit, the Xenomorph is hidden;- The covers of the four Rear Thrust Tunnels, windows of the cockpit and two Hypersleep Chambers are provided separately and can be printed with transparent filament;- Made with a special stand to conveniently display the ship among your spacecraft fleet;- 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 26 parts;- A printed ship is 72 mm tall, 127 mm wide, 164 mm deep;- Highly-detailed exterior of the craft and elaborate interior design;- The Airlock opens to reveal the highly-detailed interior of the ship;- Model is made hollow for you to introduce LED wiring and light up the interior of the shuttle and the four Rear Thrust Tunnels;- Inside the cockpit, the Xenomorph is hidden;- The covers of the four Rear Thrust Tunnels and windows of the two Hypersleep Chambers are provided separately and can be printed with transparent material;- Made with a special stand to conveniently display the ship among your spacecraft fleet;- All parts are divided in such a way to fit the build plates and to ensure that support structures are generated where needed.WHAT WILL YOU GET AFTER PURCHASE?- STL files of Narcissus​​ Model for 3D printing which consist of 84 parts;- 2 versions of files for this model for FFF/FDM and DLP/SLA/SLS printers;- High-poly detailed model of Narcissus;- 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 the model of Narcissus for 3D Printing immediately after the purchase!
