Alien Queen 3D Printing Figurine in Diorama – Assembly
Alien Queen 3D Printing Figurine in Diorama – Assembly
Alien Queen surrounded by inexhaustible Xenomorphs in diorama with Darth Vader is a reflection on what the possible clash of two fictional universes would look like.
This 3D Diorama consists of files in StereoLithography (.Stl) format that is optimized for 3D printing.
Alien Queen 3D Printing Figurine in Diorama comes in 3 versions for each 3D printer type (FFF/FDM, DLP/SLA and SLS).
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Alien Queen figurine in diorama with Darth Vader and crawling Xenomorphs for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 88 hours in total. With the whole diorama being comprised of the great Alien Queen, Darth Vader figurine and 10 smaller Xenomorphs, Gambody team dedicated much time and effort to review every single part of the impressive scene and to make sure every element of the diorama is adapted for 3D printing. The model’s cutting in its huge assembly version was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support. Therefore, and also so to ensure the cleanest 3D printed result possible, each dorsal tube on each Xenomorph’s back, each creature’s head, tail and all extremities are provided as a separate assembly piece. If you take a look at the way the Queen herself is cut into assembly parts, you will see that with the same purpose of guaranteeing the clean outcome, the figurine was divided into many separate parts along the creature’s body seams and its jaws, as well as inner jaw, were extracted from the monster’s mouth for convenient printing. Consequently, Darth Vader figurine comes with the cloak “taken off” and the lightsaber separate. Besides, some of the diorama’s parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the model’s Eco version. All assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out so 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.
The figurine 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 Alien Queen’s actual height that is 6096 mm. The 3D printing figurine’s chosen scale is 1/16 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/32 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
