Samus's Gunship - Metroid

thingiverse

Samus Aran's impressive gunship from the Metroid games is a work of art in its own right. The most iconic design of this ship is easily seen in Super Metroid and Metroid Other M, and one lucky modeler was able to acquire it as a trophy from the Metroid games' presence in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The gunship trophy model has been shared with us on http://www.models-resource.com/wii_u/supersmashbrosforwiiu/model/10549/, generously contributed by user ThatTrueStruggle. A simple but much-needed facelift was all that was needed to prepare the model for a printing session, which involved slicing the model into manageable sections in areas where curling would have been more pronounced during printing. To avoid curling on the tapered edges of the gunship model, users are advised to print it horizontally or vertically with the flat sides facing down before attaching it to supports or gluing its various parts together as needed. After some successful prints of the sliced model, users may still experience some degree of difficulty, particularly when attempting to paint every detail. Nonetheless, with patience and a steady hand, the beautiful gunship will make for an unforgettable addition to any gaming collection, guaranteed. See you next mission!
