SR71 Blackbird - Complete Print

cults3d

This iconic aircraft from the Cold War has been redesigned to spark your imagination, making it an awesome gift for any 3D printing enthusiast. This highly detailed 1/35th scale model of the fastest manned air breathing plane in the world (mach 3.1) is a true marvel of engineering. The SR71 Blackbird model with display stand can be converted into a sleek LED lamp measuring 1 meter long x 480mm wide, perfect for any room. Each part can be printed as long as your printer's build volume is at least 200mm x 200mm x 200mm, with a 0.4mm nozzle. Full instructions, including slicer and printer settings, are included in the download. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. I've created STL files that are optimized for single wall printing (completely hollow) with specially developed 'inside-out' internal supports to generate stiff and economical parts that require no infill, supports or even finishing or clean up steps, just print and assemble beautiful scale models. A single wall is very quick to print, and the total cost of filament for the entire build is less than $20! This approach to designing complex 3D printed parts is still quite uncommon but I believe has huge potential and will continue to improve on it. This SR71 kit is based originally on a 3D model by Chris Shakal, an aeronautics engineer, who has given me his kind permission to use it. He's even printed one of these SR71 kits himself! I set out to create a fun easy project that's a perfect way for parents to spend creative time with their kids and learn more about the potential of 3D printing and make something fun and useful. Even if you're just starting out, ask a friend with some experience and don't be afraid to give it a go! Checkout this video to see one of the engine parts being printed with a single wall:
