Serenity from Firefly with custom stand

thingiverse

I printed the serenity at 200mm, but can't recall what percentage that represented. If you're after the stand, it's best suited for a ship 200mm in length. If you've already printed the ship, resize the stand accordingly. - I separated the engines to print them individually. - I separated the wings to print them separately as well, modifying them since they fell apart after printing. The sections weren't actually joined together, and the gaps required supports that were hard to remove without damaging the wings. The supplied ones printed much easier. I modified the piston for the same reason - the end fell off after printing because it wasn't attached to the main shaft. You'll need to print two pistons; they're the same on both sides. - I rearranged the horns since they needed complex supports to print them. Now, they print easily on a raft and require no supports. The 'bracket' that I supplied is optional. When I printed the body halves, one of the brackets under the rear of the ship didn't print properly because it was too thin at the size I printed the ship. So, I printed the bracket separately and thicker, cut off the damaged one, and glued this new one in its place. Note that when you print the body halves, use decent brims to avoid a messy join that will need filling and sanding. I used 25 line brims (touching the model), which held down okay. The Stand: I made up the stand from scratch. I tried out several variations of the stand pole until I was satisfied with how the ship sits on it. I added the quote from Wash as a tribute to his demise in the film. The logo and leaf that I added to the stand came from Thingiverse (refer to the Remix Source Files section).
