ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The Galactica is the oldest capital Battlestar in the service of the Colonial Fleet and easily one fo the most iconic sci-fi ship designs ever. Part spacecraft carrier, part maneuverable battleship was one of twelve Battlestars built during the thousand-year Cylon Wars and served as a home to a large human crew in search of Earth. Being particularly inspired by the reimagined sci-fi television series Battlestar Galactica, our contributing 3D artist reportedly spent 162 hours in total in order to bring to life the incredible Galactica 3D printing model. The author of the beautiful and sleek 3D printing Battlestar paid utmost attention to the fine details that adorn the long body of the legendary vessel. The fore section of Galactica’s massive main hull (that is also known as the "alligator head”) comprises a vast amount of intricate details, wires, cannons, arrays etc. that guarantee an unsurpassed 3D printing experience. The midsection of the 3D printing Galactica model features the static flight pod retraction mechanisms and a pair of see-through flight pods themselves, that are known to hold up to a thousand Vipers! The author of the model also didn’t forget to include the beautiful “Galactica” logo on the sides of both pods, as well as the round hatch on top of the hull that is waiting to have the yellow Colonial Fleet logo painted on it. The stern section of the Battlestar Galactica model for 3D printing depicts the ship’s six sublight engines, as well as cooling units and engine access hatches. Last but not least, the huge hull of the Colonial Fleet centerpiece for 3D printing comprises 22 anti-ship gun turrets mounted 2 guns apiece on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the body. The mighty and renowned Battlestar Galactica ship can unlikely leave any sci-fi enthusiast indifferent and will certainly become a masterpiece among anyone’s 3D printed fleet.

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Battlestar Galactica for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 42 hours in total. The huge battleship model was divided into as many assembly parts as needed to fit even the smallest 3D printers' build plates and for you to nevertheless receive a giant 3D printed ship after assembly. The cutting of the Battlestar Galactica model was chosen by our team to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support and for you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible. For the same purpose, Galactica’s flight pod access arms, flight pods themselves, sublight drives, etc. are provided as separate STL files. The model’s 22 anti-ship gun turrets (batteries) that are to be mounted all over the battleship’s body are also provided as a separate file. This file needs to be printed 22 times and once assembled the turrets will be movable for you to display the ship in any fight mode you prefer. There can also be found special tunnels throughout the hollow body of the starship model that were designed by our team for you to easily introduce LED wiring for illumination of the main hull, six sublight engines, and flight pods. For you to display the Battlestar Galactica model among your spaceship collection there is a two-piece stand provided. All assembly parts come in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order 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. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA/SLS 1.0 versions in PDF format.

The model 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 the actual length of the Battlestar Galactica that is 1438000 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/4000 for FFF/FDM version and 1/8000 for DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
