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
Printed this first version and was completely satisfied. Month later returned to download, so as I could improve my first attempt. Surprise! The model had been improved and it's amazing. I love this model. Many thanks!
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!
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.
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.
It is about time a decent model was produced of the USS Cygnus from Disney's "The Black Hole." The modeling of the files for the Cygnus is outstanding. All the parts print well and fit perfectly. The instructions are clear and concise. I'm using a Bambu Lab H2D to print the parts at .12 resolution. It will take some time to print all the parts out, but it is well worth the wait.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
as per normal from this designer top quality and well worth the money. this is the second model i've had and definitely not the last
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.
Just finihsed printing and its massive, I printed the FDM version but in Resin (As i like pain), and its HUGE, but massivly detailed, every print i would look it over and was just speachless. I would 100% recomend if youre a B5 fan to buy this with out doubt BUY IT. Keph is a talented designer and i cant wait for what he comes up with next, Im also going to make sure everyone knows about this model and how good it is.
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:

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!
Great detailed build came out great, I was able to add some LED to the nose and nacelles.They turned out okay,the whole build look pretty slick. Good detailed build.I think im going to go with the bird of prey next.
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!
