Elder Predator STL Files for 3D Printing | Assembly Model

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Elder Predators are centuries-old Yautja representatives who are known to be wise and highly respected members of the extraterrestrial race. Based on the appearance and terrifying arsenal of the Hunter figurine uploaded by our contributing 3D artist it is pretty clear that it is not just any Elder but Greyback, the leader of the Lost Tribe. During the epic finale of Predator 2, it was Greyback who not only spared the life of the movie’s human protagonist but also rewarded Mike Harrigan with a flintlock pistol. Having encountered the brave detective aboard the Yautja Mother Ship, the extraterrestrial hunter proved that Predators are undoubtedly ruthless but extremely respectful of their Code of Honour. The author of the Elder figurine for 3D printing spent circa 183 hours working on a fan favourite model of the Hunter who impressed the audience with his morals in the course of the 1990 film. The 3D artist made sure to equip his Predator with all Yautja signature weapons. The Elder for 3D printing has his shoulder cannon ready to track multiple targets at once and a pair of razor-sharp wristblades perfect for melee combat. As expected, Greyback for 3D printing wears an old pirate pistol with "Raphael Adolini 1715" on it and a skull necklace is hanging on its neck. 3D printing Yautja is also depicted holding a machete type weapon similar to the sword Greyback had aboard the Mother Ship in 1997. We are pretty sure that no Alien vs Predator fan will pass up on the chance to acquire the awesome 3D printing Elder to one’s collection. Go order the files - the deadly 3D printing Hunter with dreadlocks and arthropod-like mandibles is just a click away!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Elder Predator figurine for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 48 hours in total. The figurine’s anatomy was thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the Clan Leader to be depicted harmoniously in the intended confident pose. The model’s cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the figurine’s Eco version. In order to conceal the places where assembly parts of the model must be connected, the hunter was cut along the contour of his outfit seams. For you to receive the cleanest result possible, Predator’s flintlock pistol, shoulder cannon, wristblades, belt pocket, sheath etc. are provided as separate assembly pieces. The machete or sword type weapon that the figurine is holding in its left hand is also divided in two for you to easily fit it into Predator’s fist. All assembly parts 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. 

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 Predator's actual height that is 2220 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.
