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.
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.
Printed most of the model (at 200 odd pieces, I may have missed a few bits lol). Roughly put together, it looks amazing, not to mention much bugger than I imagined. I'm also currently programming up an Arduino mega for lighting, which is working out well, but not perfect due to limitations of both my knowledge , and limitations of the Arduino programming. The only thing I see that is missing is the fact that the instructions could be a little clearer as to if pieces should be glued together or not, obviously user choice works too though :). Pictures will come at some point when its completed, but its slow going due to the fact that I'm using a battery operated air brush, and only get about 20 mins at a time to paint it.
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.
Merci beaucoup pour ce modèle. Il est vraiment magnifique. Je l'imprime en PETG HS ERYONE, nozzle en 0.25 et layer en 0.06 mm sur Flashforge ADM 5 PRO. Patrice
Honestly what drew me to this model the most was the stand that comes with the elite add-on. Admittedly this was not a favorite TIE model in general, but as i built it it rapidly became one of my favorite ships! I'm working on an elite version and will post pix once those are done. all in all a great experience; well done!
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.
I’m done with printing this model now, I had some small issues. Part of it did not fit, but they are correct it now and you can download them. I will share some details later on.For the lead trip, a 3 m length will be great. Maybe you should put this in explanation.
I’m full attempt to make this model with more LED lightning. Therefore, I need to adjust some pieces.
More to come later happy printing.
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
The fit and finish is phenomenal. The pieces fit together very, very well. That said, the recommended print settings are *very* slow; I would probably experiment with speeding them up if I were to reprint this (not a negative; for anyone that sees this later).
Noah is a class act and a pleasure to build his creations. The models are the best I’ve come Across for any Tron related model. His passion comes through his designs and the models are very well thought out. MUST BUY’S if your a fan of Tron or any futuristic vehicle design.
Just thumbing through the files. Good lord. Extremely high poly with quality surfaces. Im pretty sure i could upscale these and print out very close to a 1:350 scale. Please jesus pay this guy to do an s rank enterprise E model.
Amazing file to work with, the model was a real pleasure to print and paint. Everything fits perfectly and the final result is very satisfying.
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 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!
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.
Das Teil war nicht einfach und ein bisschen Erfahrung mit Modellbau wäre hier sehr von Vorteil. Am Ende realisiert man erst, wie groß das Teil eigentlich ist. Ein großes Lob an die oder den Künstler, jedoch habe ich trotzdem eine kleine Kritik. Es wurde die Toilette vergessen?! Ich konnte das so nicht stehen lassen und musste notgedrungen eine Dixi Toilette mit in den Frachtraum nehmen.
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.
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:
