ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINE
Xenomorph is a menacing extraterrestrial species, one of the deadliest of all known aliens that was first seen in 1979 as a terrible antagonist in sci-fi horror classic Alien. They say that the impact of this horror film series is inestimable - the whole genre that now features a bewildering variety of deadly extraterrestrial creatures is considered to have been launched once the alien classic was first released on the big screen. Xenomorph is said to be the perfect killing machine. Small wonder, given its impenetrable exoskeleton and ability both to learn quickly and to inherit physical characteristics from its host. A characteristic feature of alien’s hunting tactics is waiting for the pray stealthily and this is perfectly conveyed in the pose the author of the Xenomorph 3D printing diorama chose to depict the monster in. It is crouched menacingly on the top of a slightly elevated construction where the alien can presumably watch the prey from but still remain unnoticed. And though the origin and back-story of Xenomorph were only theorised by the fans with every new instalment in the franchise, at least we do know where to expect the monster to appear from. The Xenomorph 3D printing diorama features the set of eggs, also known as Ovomorphs which are basically capsules containing Facehuggers - the second stage of Xenomorph’s life cycle that launches itself onto the host's face and impregnates it to grow into an adult alien. Sounds creepy, doesn’t it? Good thing that these eggs are only hatched in their 3D printing form - that was the way the 3D artist depicted the creatures, having spent on the creative project 132 hours in total. “In space, no one can hear you scream” - but should you print your own Xenomorph with Hatched Eggs diorama you will have at least several aliens to fight on your side.
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Alien Xenomorph in diorama for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 28 hours in total. For you to receive the cleanest result possible the diorama was divided into many assembly parts and each hatched egg also comes separately to be further attached to the diorama’s platform as an independent assembly piece. The cutting of the Alien Xenomorph figurine itself was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support and some of the diorama’s parts were hollowed out for you to save resin. Moreover, in order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the model must be connected, the figurine was cut along the anatomic folds of the alien’s exoskeleton. All the assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out so to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate.
The figurine is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.
The model's scale was calculated from Xenomorph's actual height that is 2225 mm. The 3D printing figurine's chosen scale is 1/8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

This feedback is from a user who hasn't purchased this model To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
Generic
Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Simplify3D and Slic3r software.
Cura printing recommendations:
These are basic settings that were tested in Cura 4.8.0 slicer.
The test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality CR-10S Pro V2, Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS 3D printers with PLA and PETG filaments.
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 at hand. 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 is not recommended!);
- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill;
- For all parts of locks (“ge_lock” in “Source files”) you need to change "Brim" type to "Skirt" in Build Plate Adhesionsection.
