Among the variety of instalments, the original series of Battlestar Galactica will always hold a special place in our hearts. So take a deep dive into the rich sci-fi world of the Twelve Colonies and discover what menacing Cylons are up to this time!

You can never forget the majestic Raider, the primary fighter attack craft of the Cylons. Our contributing 3D artist, filled with nostalgia and admiration for the brutal design, made the ship 3D printable for you. The elaborate Cylon Raider TOS 3D Printing Model offers an authentic oval outline riddled with lots of accurate details and guarantees your 3D printing enjoyment. For a more immersive display, three Centurions agreed to pilot the craft for you from within the model's cockpit. The take-off is by your command! 

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Cylon Raider TOS for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 32 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, and assemble the model with its intended articulation mechanisms, the craft was divided into convenient assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 1.0 version are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order 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. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Cylon Raider TOS model.

The model 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 the length of the Cylon Raider which is approximately 12500 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:32 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:64 for the DLP/SLA version.
