3D model history
The scene with the Space Jockey discovered by the USCSS Nostromo crew shown in the first Alien movie (1979) is an example of incredible, thought-out, and captivating visual effects, and to date, it is considered the cinematography masterpiece. The corpse of the giant humanoid sitting in front of the telescope device on the board of the derelict ship on LV-426 is a mysterious spectacle: impregnated and killed with a chestburster, the body of Space Jockey became deformed and fossilized, but still impressed with its alien biological constitution and size.
It took a lot of time and work with references for our contributing 3D artist to create the model of Space Jockey as authentic and detailed as it is. The build of the body of the creature repeats the textures of the Pilot's corpse with loose skin, a damaged skull, and ossified limbs. The chair and the telescope naturally complement the body and are distinguished by the canonical design with recognizable forms and ribbed surfaces. The artistic value of this 3D printer model deserves the utmost respect and it simply has to take a place in your Alien collection!

Below you can find printing recommendations for Bambu Studio, Cura, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer, Simplify3D, and Slic3r software.
Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use, and especially the particular assembly part you are working with. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review, and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.
Note:
You can scale up the model (downscaling for FFF/FDM 3D printers is not recommended!);
All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
