ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
The Raptor is a highly dependable multi-role support craft used by the Colonial Fleet of the Battlestar Galactica franchise. Known to be able to operate both in space and planetary atmosphere, Raptors are utilized in all kinds of assault, transportation, research, and rescue missions. The Raptors are equipped with highly advanced sensors and are able to investigate the areas of space, detecting both individual ships and larger fleets. Versatile in their ability to assist the fleet, Raptors also have their heavily armed variants that can actually pose a serious threat to hostile forces. The 3D artist behind this brilliant Raptor model for 3D printing mentioned having spent circa 170 hours in order to present the best possible version of the well-loved fictional craft. Thus, given the incredible number of details the model is equipped with, the Raptor will unlikely become an ordinary 3D printing project! The 3D artist made sure to pay attention to every single hardpoint that makes the assault Raptors so deadly - all kinds of heavy cannons, multi-tube rocket batteries, large rocket pods, etc. can be mounted for the menacing look of your 3D printed Raptor. The author of the model also carefully worked on the craft’s interior, having divided the body of the vessel into two compartments. The forward one holds the cockpit with its twin seats for the pilots. The aft compartment meant for passengers and equipment is even separated by decorative curtains and can be accessed via the side hydraulic door! Unlike Vipers, the Raptors are known to be launched from the Battlestar’s flight pod due to their larger size. Powered by two fixed colonial sub-light engines and a small FTL drive, Raptors showcase impressive adaptability in all kinds of warfare scenarios. And now, thanks to the wonders of 3D printing technology one such Raptor can join your 3D printed Battlestar Galactica fleet!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
BSG Raptor for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 45 hours in total. For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support the spacecraft model was divided into many assembly parts, e.g. its stabilization fins, sub-light engines, comms system, the left hydraulic door, all armament units and weapon hardpoints, front transmitter, pilots’ twin seats, curtains that separate the compartments, canopy, etc. are provided as separate STL files. The panoramic windows on the canopy are also provided as six separate files for you to print them using transparent filament or access the highly detailed interior of the cockpit. There can also be found special tunnels throughout the hollow body of the Raptor that were designed by our team for you to easily introduce LED wiring for illumination of the cockpit and sub-light engines. The Raptor model features a lot of hardpoints that you can either assemble to carry the great array of weapons or you can display the craft unarmed by concealing the hardpoints with special caps. For you to display the Raptor model among your Battlestar Galactica collection there is a stand provided, though its usage is optional - you can also assemble the spacecraft with landing gear that can optionally be concealed with caps. All assembly parts 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/SLS 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Raptor model.
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 BSG Raptor that is 8600 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/32 for FFF/FDM version and 1/64 for DLP/SLA/SLS version.

Below you'll find detailed slicing settings for Bambu Studio 2.0+, Orca Slicer 2.0+, UltiMaker Cura 5.0+, PrusaSlicer 2.0+, Slic3r 1.3+, Simplify3D 5.0+ to help you get the best results when printing this model. These settings are optimized specifically for this 3D model, but please note they may need slight adjustments depending on your printer or filament. When in doubt, refer to your printer's user manual.
To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
Bambu Studio 2.0+ For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.
120-150% of your Layer Height

This field is filled in according to your printer specifications when you add it to the slicer.
You can add custom G-code here for the start and end of the print. However, be careful - this is for advanced users only!
You have to calibrate your printer using Ge retraction test models
Retraction Length: For direct-drive setups use 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm; for Bowden extruders use 5 to 7 mm
This is how fast the filament is pulled back—40-60 mm/s for direct drive and 30-50 mm/s for Bowden setups.
You have to calibrate this parameter: Reduce it until the printer starts to hit the parts with the nozzle during printing, then increase it by 0.2.
UltiMaker Cura 5.0+ For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.
120-150% of your Layer Height
To increase the strength of the print parts, use wall line count: 3
For pins and connectors use 50% Infill
These parameters are for standard PLA plastic. If you are using a different type of plastic, check the printing temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Also, read the description on your filament spool. For fast printers, add +30 °C to the current parameters.
The parameters in this tab vary greatly, it all depends on the quality of your printer. For example, if you have a classic Ender3, stick to the minimum parameters, but if you have a newer printer, for example Anycubic cobra 3 v3, you can select the maximum recommended values
Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.
Use this value other than 0 if your nozzle catches on the internal infill during travel moves. Try to keep this value as low as possible in height.
Use normal supports to support large, straight surfaces (most mechanical or technical parts).
You have to calibrate this parameter according to the capabilities of your printer and your filament, using a Gambody test models.
Use 1 instead of 0 if your supports are thin and tall. They will be harder to remove, but much stronger.
Top Z distance = 1-1.3 layer Height. If the supports are hard to remove, try increasing this setting by 0.1-0,4 mm

Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise. Use the minimum value for outdated printers without acceleration calibration, and the maximum value for modern printers if you need it.
These settings only work for 3D printers with multiple extruders
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)
For better printing quality you have to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test model.
Check your filament manufacturer's temperature recommendations on the spool.
