3D model history
Babylon 5 Station wasn't just an orbital space station—it was a symbol of fragile hope in a fractured galaxy. Suspended in neutral space around Epsilon III, this colossal spacecraft became the meeting point for diplomats, soldiers, and travelers from across the Babylon 5 universe. Its rotating cylinder generated gravity for a quarter-million inhabitants, while segmented sectors housed everything from diplomatic chambers to bustling commerce. Over its operational years, Babylon 5 transformed from a hub for major powers like Minbari, Centauri, and Narn into a strategic stronghold in the Shadow War, ultimately becoming the birthplace of the Interstellar Alliance. To fans of the TV series, its silhouette is unmistakable—a legendary sci-fi space station that set a standard for storytelling and design.
This Babylon 5 Station 3D print STL files turns that iconic vision into a tangible masterpiece. Designed as a premium spacecraft 3D model, it features a rotating central section with optional motor installation, internal channels for LED lighting, and hidden compartments for powerful batteries. Smooth bearings ensure precise motion, while the attention to detail captures the station's segmented design and functional elegance. Perfect for hobbyists and collectors, this Babylon 5 3D model stands among the finest STL files for sci-fi 3D models, space station 3D models, and TV series 3D models, bringing a legendary sci-fi icon into your collection.

However the description mentions a 150 RPM motor, but no other specs. Can you give us a hint as to which motor would best fit please?
The model is designed to accommodate compact reduction motors such as:
- https://www.amazon.com/Wal-front-Reduction-Diameter-Electric/dp/B07JMBCH1X
- https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/n20-reduction-gear-motor?id=42122646585480
Both motors fit the dedicated compartment inside the model and provide the recommended 150 RPM for smooth, stable rotation.

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.
