Meant to add photos to the review.
Overall very nice model, do wish the thruster pods on the sides were not attached, but otherwise no real complaints at all.
Weathering and decals not done yet, but otherwise finished, if a model is ever really finished.
I had zero issues withthe model or any settings. Printed on my Saturn with ABS like resin, with a vat heater at 85F. Beatiful prints, no issues withassembly or any failures of any kind.I love the size of the figures, great for display!
Understand I'm not _that_ old (at least in my own mind), but when I was a kid, I was a big model builder. Had all sorts of SciFi models like the Flying Sub, Spindrift, Orion, Enterprise Bridge, Moonbase Alpha, and more. So now I get to be an adult re-living my childhood! The original scale was too big for my room, so I scaled it to 60%. And I must say, the details remained very visible. I used my Snapmaker U1 to colorize the print (used my Bambu P1S for the solid colors) – not a single dab of paint was used. Looks freaking awesome.
Modello semplice,dettagli semplici,alla fine ha solo la tunica,però sinceramente fa la sua bella figura.Inutile dire che il risultato finale dipende molto dalla bravura di chi lo stampa ( senza far vedere i gli attacchi dei supporti ) e sopratutto di chi lo dipinge,quello fa tutta la differenza del mondo,per me sinceramente è un bel modello.
I wait so long and untill now artist of the model not dissappoint me and help make some a little detail to accurate this Enterprise-E
i said something bad or not good word and you will feel bad and not good. I am sorry
Thank you for spending time and energy with this update 2.0
Thank you... :)
I upscaled the FFF model from 100 to 150. Detail turned out amazing. I still have to add the antennas. But these should provide a good idea.
One of my first print for the friend of my daughter, Doom Mask. Turned out great, friend was very happy liked my painting, too (although I think could have been much better).
I love robocop,. alike most other prints from Gambody I upscale them and this was no different. 1:1 scale and file integrity held perfectly. The detail is epic but i also like both heads with and without helmet so I can change them at will whenever the feeling takes me. You wont be disappointed!
OK, this is awesome! the print is long and it does take a while to custom pain to get the cool look, but with my H2D made printing it easy. No waste with the dual colors. I was thinking of lighting this up but could not find a good way to do it with one battery source.
One note to anyone else, follow the directions. I used 15% infill and it suggests 5 to 6 percent. This made this model almost 7lbs. I had to do a very solid mount. Great print!
This a an awesome model so much nostalgia. I spent a few hours in painting it in Bambu Studios. It was well worth the effort and time printing this model. This is my favorite project so far.
The model is absolutely beautiful, and I truly appreciate the hard work that went into creating it. I do have one suggestion that I hope the designer might consider. I love adding fiber-optic lighting to my builds. my Star Destroyer has over 700 individual lights, and people always comment on how incredible it looks. It would be amazing if the sides of the model could be opened up or designed with accessible sections so fiber-optic lighting can be installed throughout. Having that flexibility would take the build to another level, and I’d love to be able to exibit next to the star destroyer.
As with all the other models I’ve gotten from Gambody, these files printed perfectly. I’d been wanting an F14 model since I started printing a year ago. You guys should do more ships from Star Gate series like the BC-304 Daedalus and Prometheus.
I loved UFO as a kid so I just had to get this model when I ordered my new Anycubic Kobra X. The model was so easy to print and for the most part very easy to colour. Final Result came out great!
I finally finished this Liberator print and assembly using my 420x420x500 Anycubic Kobra 3 Max and 3v2from to colour print all of the external pieces so no manual painting would be required. I also blew the scale up as high as I could go with these machines so that it finally measured 58" Long x 36" wide and 36" tall (approx). Due to the weight, I couldn't use the supplied optional stand, so I had to make my own using TinkerCAD.
I've linked to a series of Youtube videos showing how it was built. I love the detail on this and it is the best available Liberator model I've found online. If you do scale this up like I have then remember to increase the infill to provide additional strength. I had a problem where my original struts snapped and I had to reprint them 75% infill to take the strain from the weight and angle from the nacelles. There is almost a whole 1Kg spool of filament used in each strut, so they are as solid as rock.
Unfortunately, the main body was done with a mixture of 10-15% infill in an attempt to keep it light, but it turned out to be too little to support a model of this size and you can year the PLA creaking when the model is handled and the area around the orange/yellow panels is the weak point for the model. I'm worried that hanging it from the ceiling could cause the model to snap at this point, so I grabbed a pen, paper and ruler, loaded up TinkerCAD and started designing a table mount that would take the strain. After a few prototypes, I came up with something that supports the body from underneath and also takes some of the weight off the lower struts. In addition, I made 2 large tubes to insert into the model's main body from the engine side which added a lot of structural support and provided a way to mount a light source for the green globes.
I'm going to give some credit to my trusty Elegoo Neptune 4 Max for making the majority of the display stand, which also utilized a stand I had made for an ACE Pro to save time. The internal tubes were done on my Centauri Carbon and FLSun T1 for speed. PVC pipe glue was used for the assembly.
If you decide to print in colour like I did then remember you're going to need to "paint" the parts in Orca yourself. If you're going to paint it in the traditional way then printing time will be way less. If you do decide to go big then consider where you will display it. This model is almost 5 foot long and stretches almost 3 foot wide and tall. In hindsight, I think I should have done it at 75% of that scale, but I love a good challenge.
Remember, Series 3 is due soon on BluRay!!! Here's the video link and a picture of the final model:

Very good STL model for print. It was a fun to make it and paint. Finished model is a great add on to my home cinema room and Alien's movies collection.
I was a bit leery about printing something like this. But after the front body and cockpit was printed I knew it will be good looking.
Here it is in pre-paint. Not sure of the colour scheme, yet.
I spent agonising hours printing paul as a distraction for my family - my name is paul and they associate me with the alien because i love marmite. It took ages on a couple of ender 3s. Painted it outside, 20 minutes someone stole it - that is how good this print is.
Excellent file and setup, easy to print, harder to stick together on the head LOL. I am going to print it again but this time mod the file for magnet fitting of the head pieces making the process easier. If you want a life size paul then have at it, fun and always a pleaser, there are no faults with this model at all which I love.
I have always been a Event Horizon fan, loved the film and the ship was just brillant. When i saw this model I just had to buy it,, some advice DONT do what I did, I print everything out in Resin as it makes the models feel more of a thing for me, so I printed it out at 40% bigger then the print was meant to be, I now have a 5ft long Event Horizon model in my office and i dont know what to do with her,, lol Apart from that model is perfect easy to add lights, easy to put together,, just a perfect model. Leo is a very talented designer.
Given this is one of my favourite starships, I absolutely had to make it! I spent a looooong time (far longer than I'd like to admit) in Orca recolouring everything so this could be printed in full multi colour on the Snapmaker U1 :) This takes 105 hours in full colour with a tool changer, I would not recommend printing in colour on a none tool changing printer, but well worth putting the time in, as it took less time than masking and painting would have to get this just perfect :) I've added photo's of the build to feedback so you can see for yourself how well this build works :) ... Couldn't be happier with this!
Easy to print with hardly any supports needed. All pieces fit on a 250mm3 printer no problem. Printed on a couple of P1S printers with Bamblulab Grey PLA in about 4 days. Glued together with CA glue and it's holding up great! It's a very impressive model.
