UFO - sliced model easy to print

thingiverse

This is a stunning UFO model inspired by the S.H.A.D.O. series: you can print it in all your favorite scales with ease! You simply need to print each single slice 9 times, and before long, the complete disc will be yours to behold. The "UFO.stl" file has been meticulously crafted with 6 easy-to-remove support blades, eliminating the need for automatic supports altogether. With a DELTA base diam. of 20 cm, you can effortlessly print the model 4 times bigger, achieving the spectacular 55 cm diam. model that graces the photos. Following this impressive base model, you can then add the alien pilot – my very own creation made using the incredibly powerful Sculptrix free modeling software. The pilot is ready to take center stage in your creations! This stunning model has been carefully crafted with decor in mind. Simply hang it from the floor with a barely noticeable nylon wire, and watch as it effortlessly steals the spotlight in any setting – including my very own ITALYmaker Lab here in Milan. Here are some key Print Settings: - Rafts: Absolutely not required - Supports: None at all necessary - Resolution: An exacting 0.2 mm will yield amazing results - Infill: I find 10 to be the perfect ratio of strength and print-time balance Some extra details to note about printing this UFO model: You can enjoy creating it in whatever scale suits your needs best, by simply printing each slice 9 times until the complete disc takes shape. The file "UFO.stl" comes equipped with six very convenient support blades which you can easily remove after successful printing – eliminating any need for automatic supports. With a DELTA base of a decent 20 cm diameter at your disposal, it's more than easy to increase the model fourfold and end up with a truly majestic, larger-than-life representation. Now that this is covered, it's then just a matter of bringing out the pilot: the little alien pilot has been crafted from scratch using my own free modeling software called Sculptrix. You're free to use this model to bring more beauty and personality into your projects. You'll also be glad to know that "UFO cab" isn't the normal orientation. In fact, it was created like that directly in CAD - feel free to flip it so that you get a more intuitive perspective. One other thing is that there's a tiny cone available too - this might prove useful should any matching difficulties pop up along the way, particularly if these were encountered at rotor-centre distances. All in all, an incredibly impressive, professional-looking model such as this really does take some getting used to – even when dealing with those first printing attempts. So just keep it up and do keep that enthusiasm going. Print on, because that’s where true mastery is truly gained - so I'd love for you guys to be patient and wait until it finally arrives home - if all the necessary tools were not met in some way prior!
