ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
Sometimes the destiny of the whole human race can depend on a small group of astronauts roaming the endless void of space, looking for a new place we all can call home. The captivating plot of Interstellar (2014) along with breathtaking special effects leaves you in deep awe, wondering about the future of Earth and things that are beyond us. Inspired by the visually challenging storytelling and intricate technology design, our contributing 3D artist decided to recreate one of the major spacecraft used in the movie’s space exploration mission - SSTO called Ranger. The Ranger for 3D printing looks just as sleek and futuristic as its movie counterpart. The artist adorned the lifting body with the distinctive patterns across its upper and lower fuselage. The iconic canted wings contribute to additional lift and stability. Peek through the window frames or open the rear panel to take a look at the highly-detailed interior of the cockpit.
The new, updated version of Interstellar Ranger will definitely get your praise! The version 2.0 of the spacecraft is 15% narrower and lower, its form is closer to canonical. The better, high-poly design of Interstellar Ranger ensures very detailed, intricate printing results. The hollowed parts of the model give the option to illuminate the Ranger using LED lights. Another impressive feature is a completely redesigned interior with a mobile support robot. Be the first to enjoy the Interstellar Ranger at a completely higher level!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Interstellar Ranger 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. For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support the spacecraft model was divided into many assembly parts, e.g. its thruster nozzles, entry hatch, interior compartments, landing feet, support robot, rear venting panel, etc. are provided as separate STL files. The windows on the upper fuselage are also provided as separate files for you to print them using transparent filament or access the highly detailed interior of the cockpit. There can also be found special tunnels throughout the hollow body of the Ranger that were designed by our team for you to easily introduce LED wiring for illumination of the cockpit and twin plasma engines. For you to display the Ranger model among your Space Ships collection there is a platform provided, though its usage is optional - you can also assemble the spacecraft with landing gear that can optionally be concealed with caps. 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. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 2.0 and DLP/SLA/SLS 2.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Ranger 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 actual length of the Interstellar Ranger that is 14 000 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/32 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/64 for DLP/SLA/SLS version.

Community Support Team If possible, we would be very grateful if you could provide reference images of the lower front area, clearly indicating which details are missing and their exact placement. At the moment, we’ve only been able to find a rather general reference, which makes precise adjustments difficult.
Input like this is very valuable and helps guide future refinements and updates by our moderation team in cooperation with William Adams, the model’s author. Thank you again for contributing to the improvement of the models.

Below you'll find detailed slicing settings for Bambu Studio 2.0+, Orca Slicer 2.0+, UltiMaker Cura 5.0+, PrusaSlicer 2.0+, Slic3r 1.3+, Simplify3D 5.0+ to help you get the best results when printing this model. These settings are optimized specifically for this 3D model, but please note they may need slight adjustments depending on your printer or filament. When in doubt, refer to your printer's user manual.
To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
Bambu Studio 2.0+ For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.
120-150% of your Layer Height

Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise
Enable this parameter if your model requires supports
We also recommend placing and removing supports manually in some places using special button
1-2 loops for more thick support
Top Z distance = 1-1.3 layer Height. If the supports are hard to remove, try increasing this setting by 0.1-0,4 mm

This field is filled in according to your printer specifications when you add it to the slicer.
You can add custom G-code here for the start and end of the print. However, be careful - this is for advanced users only!
You have to calibrate your printer using Ge retraction test models
Retraction Length: For direct-drive setups use 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm; for Bowden extruders use 5 to 7 mm
This is how fast the filament is pulled back—40-60 mm/s for direct drive and 30-50 mm/s for Bowden setups.
You have to calibrate this parameter: Reduce it until the printer starts to hit the parts with the nozzle during printing, then increase it by 0.2.
UltiMaker Cura 5.0+ For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.
120-150% of your Layer Height
To increase the strength of the print parts, use wall line count: 3
For pins and connectors use 50% Infill
These parameters are for standard PLA plastic. If you are using a different type of plastic, check the printing temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Also, read the description on your filament spool. For fast printers, add +30 °C to the current parameters.
The parameters in this tab vary greatly, it all depends on the quality of your printer. For example, if you have a classic Ender3, stick to the minimum parameters, but if you have a newer printer, for example Anycubic cobra 3 v3, you can select the maximum recommended values
Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.
Use this value other than 0 if your nozzle catches on the internal infill during travel moves. Try to keep this value as low as possible in height.
Use normal supports to support large, straight surfaces (most mechanical or technical parts).
You have to calibrate this parameter according to the capabilities of your printer and your filament, using a Gambody test models.
Use 1 instead of 0 if your supports are thin and tall. They will be harder to remove, but much stronger.
Top Z distance = 1-1.3 layer Height. If the supports are hard to remove, try increasing this setting by 0.1-0,4 mm

Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise. Use the minimum value for outdated printers without acceleration calibration, and the maximum value for modern printers if you need it.
These settings only work for 3D printers with multiple extruders
You can try setting all parameters in this section, except the First layer, to values between 0.75% of your nozzle diameter and 1.25% of your nozzle diameter. Adjusting them will help you work out the optimal parameters for the best quality for your print. As for the First layer, you can set it to 150% of the diameter of your nozzle for better adhesion to the build plate (for a nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm, the First layer extrusion width can be from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm)
For better printing quality you have to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test model.
Check your filament manufacturer's temperature recommendations on the spool.
