Awesome model - makes for a great display piece. Printed everything full size on my Ender 3 S1-Plus. Pieces fit together nicely and any imperfections from joining pieces aren't visibly noticeable. One design flaw was found in the joining wing pieces - the alignment holes don't all line up. Not a big deal as there are two and it holds it together until you glue in the panels just fine. Need to go back and watch Rebels now!
very well supported, hollowed, etc. nicely detailed as well. wish the instructions were a little more clear on the assembly options but they were enough to figure it out
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:

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.
after building a few different models from Gambody, this one is my favorite. it is without a doubt the coolest model i have built, and i have been building models my whole life
thanks for the enjoyment. cheers.
Jak dla mnie absolutnie niesamowity model, jego szczegółowe przygotowanie i odwzorowanie. W pierwszej wersji miał to być model wydrukowany w skali 150%, jednak w wyniku mojej pomyłki zostały wydrukowane dwie wersje: 150 % i 225%. Obie wyszły fantastycznie. Model wart każdego centa i każdego grama filamentu.
I've always wanted this APC. Many times I was on the brink of buying a toy online. When it came to Gambody, I attempted printing it right away, but my bedslinger printers did it no justice. I was not until I bout a Core XY printer that I was able to pull it off. I roughed mine up with weathering and decided not to light it up. I went with a 200% upscale. My print measures over 22 inches long. A great model.
Amazing model. Not 100% screen accurate but very close. Printed nicely with resin and the pieces went together smoothly. I made him about 35cm tall. I didn't print the base as I wanted him to be free standing. Keep up the good work.
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.
This is my first entry into 3d printing a model. I usually work with styrene kits. I'm very impressed the quality and detail of the print. The parts need minimal post print processing to create really good fit and finish.
Question for the modelling team, is there any opportunity to get a new version of part 27/28? One that say ROCINANTE on it like in season six of the show?
I think this build has more detail than the original studio model (LOL). It made me happy to find the Heart of Gold and now it sits with pride on my desk at work.
I actually scaled this one down to roughly 1:1000 and even though it's smallish even the tiny windows printed out well.
Had such a great time making Paul! Instructions were perfect, easy to understand. Support answered all my questions in a timely manner. Am purchasing more files from the best stl file site on the planet, GAMBODY!
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.
This was my frist big 3D print on my Bambu Labs H2S. Rafael3D was very helpful with helping me at parts that I was confused about. I will provide some feedback in some areas that I noticed in the assmebly guide. Rafael3D also gave me some convex lenses for the eyes, but I have not tried them out yet. I need to figure out how to dial in settings for transparent filament. Pretty happy!
This was a great build from start to finish with clear instruction notes, there was a few parts that had to be printed at different orientations to get the best results but overall a very detailed model. I have printed 2 time machines now and would recommend this model to anyone who is into classic sci fi.
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.
While still waiting for resin stock to print this I was very impressed with the detail of the model and have since purchased the Hyper jump ring to go with it.
Very detailed model, accurately made but the best bit..... I scaled it to 1:1 and all files held perfectly and now I enjoy a full size light up terminator. In addition it is not too hard to slightly mod the files to add servos or motors. I love it when people come round it scares the living soul out of them LOL. You cant ask for a better file, ive seen many terminator files and this by far is the best.
fantastic
For a die-hard fan, this model is an absolute must-have.
It's a faithful recreation and even has the option to add internal lighting. I highly recommend it and I'm going to add it to my slicer right now!
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!
