ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
Entertaining adventures await you aboard the Red Dwarf's Starbug shuttlecraft! The vehicle is notable for its peculiar design and exceptional durability that saved our heroes on numerous occasions. Its body is divided into sections akin to a bug’s bulbous body parts - the head serves as the cockpit, the mid-section provides living space for the crew, and the rear segment keeps the cargo and equipment safe. Maybe you would like to pay a visit?
A 3D printer and high-quality STL files of the Starbug 3D Printing Model are all you need to build a sci-fi legend of your own! Thanks to the meticulous effort of our contributing 3D artist, the model boasts incredible interior detail that you can observe through the opening hull. Moreover, the craft is supported by two pairs of active legs that can be posed. Embark on exciting expeditions and see what secrets are hidden in the distant future!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Starbug for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 43 hours in total.
For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the craft 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 the Starbug 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 approximate length of the Starbug which is 22000 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:64 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:128 for the DLP/SLA versions.
