ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Blake's 7 is a British science fiction television series that ran for four seasons from 1978 to 1981. The show was created by Terry Nation, who is best known as the creator of the Daleks in the long-running BBC series Doctor Who. The series follows the adventures of a group of seven criminals and outcasts who band together to fight against the oppressive Terran Federation.

In the series Blake's 7, the Liberator is a highly advanced and powerful spaceship that serves as the primary setting and mode of transportation for the main characters. It is said to be "the most powerful fighting ship in the galaxy" and is equipped with a wide range of weapons and technology. The Liberator is also able to travel faster than the speed of light, allowing the crew to quickly cover vast distances and evade pursuit. The ship's design is sleek and angular, with a distinctive, elongated shape. The Liberator plays a crucial role in the series, as it serves as both a symbol of the crew's freedom and a tool in their fight against the oppressive Terran Federation.

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Liberator Blake’s 7 for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 24 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the spaceship was divided into convenient assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 1.0 version are provided 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 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to Liberator Blake’s 7.

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 length of Liberator Blake’s 7. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:700 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:1400 for the DLP/SLA version.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.

Cura Printing Recommendations

These are basic settings that were tested in Cura 4.8.0 slicer.

The test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality CR-10S Pro V2, Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS 3D printers with PLA and PETG filaments.

Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use and especially the particular assembly part at hand. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.

Note:

- You can scale up the model (downscaling is not recommended!);

- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill;

- For all parts of locks (“ge_lock” in “Source files”) you need to change "Brim" type to "Skirt" in Build Plate Adhesion section.

Slic3r Printing Recommendations

These basic 3D printing settings recommendations for beginners were tested in Slic3r 1.3.0 software. Test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality Cr-10S pro v2, Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS, Anycubic Vyper with PLA and PetG filaments. 


Note:

- You can upscale your 3D printing models. Downscaling is not recommended - it can make smaller parts of the model unprintable, distort the model’s level of detail and result in assembly issues. 

- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.

- When printing Lock connectors, we recommend setting the “Brim width” parameter to 0 in the "Skirt and Brim" print settings. In that way, the Locks will be 3D printed with a Skirt only.

You can try setting all parameters in this section, except the First layer, to values between 0.75% of your nozzle diameter and 1.25% of your nozzle diameter. Adjusting them will help you work out the optimal parameters for the best quality for your print. As for the First layer, you can set it to 150% of the diameter of your nozzle for better adhesion to the build plate (for a nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm, the First layer extrusion width can be from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm)

Speed

Speed for print moves

(We recommend that you try printing with the parameters listed below and then adjust the print speed until the printing quality is optimal for you)

Perimeters: 20 mm/s

Small perimeters: 20 mm/s

External perimeters: 20 mm/s

Infill: 50 mm/s

Solid infill: 30 mm/s

Top solid infill: 20 mm/s

Support material: 50 mm/s

Support material interface: 20 mm/s

Bridges: 20 mm/s

Gap fill: 20 mm/s

Ironing: 15 mm/s

 

Speed for non-print moves

Travel: 100 mm/s

 

Modifiers

First layer speed: 10 mm/s

 

Acceleration control (Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise)

Perimeters: 400 mm/s2

Infill: 400 mm/s2

Bridge: 400 mm/s2

First layer: 400 mm/s2

Default: 400 mm/s2

 

Auto speed (advanced)

Max print speed: 100 mm/s

Max volumetric speed: 0 mm3/s

 

Multiple Extruders

These settings only work for 3D printers with multiple extruders (not recommended for beginners)

 

Advanced

Extrusion width 

 

You can try setting all parameters in this section, except the First layer, to values between 0.75% of your nozzle diameter and 1.25% of your nozzle diameter. Adjusting them will help you work out the optimal parameters for the best quality for your print. As for the First layer, you can set it to 150% of the diameter of your nozzle for better adhesion to the build plate (for a nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm, the First layer extrusion width can be from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm)
