ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
"These gunships fly like butcherbugs and cut into us like Blood Carvers. We must have one."
LAAT/i stands for “Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry” which is a powerful gunship of the Star Wars universe that saw extensive use during the Clone Wars. The flying troop carrier is known for its uncanny likeness to Black Рawk helicopters (minus the propeller blades) and is said to be perfect for infantry transportation and aerial-based support. One of our contributing 3D artists clearly has every intention of bringing to life the gems of Star Wars fleet and we could not be happier! The LAAT/i gunship model for 3D printing is designed with utmost precision that might only compete with the manufacturers from Rothana Heavy Engineering. Taking into account the primary designation of the gunship which is infantry transportation, the author of the model made sure to take care of the authenticity of the LAAT/i's main cabin. Thus, the main hold of the 3D printing gunship is furnished with deckplates, vents, various alcoves, and even is equipped with handles hanging from the ceiling for clone troopers to hold on. The side doors of the Republic attack gunship have tall open viewports and even little handholds to slide them open when landing or during maintenance. Also, the 3D artist paid careful attention to the interior of the double cockpit bubbles of the starship and even installed the seats for the pilot and co-pilot/forward gunner! Offering powerful direct fire support and air-to-ground strikes, the 3D printing LAAT/i is depicted fully armed while carrying chin-mounted adjustable laser cannons and a pair of dorsal missile launchers. The icing on the cake is the 3D printing wing- and armature- mounted ball turrets which are the peculiar feature of the LAAT-series gunship. Finally, having spent circa 190 hours modelling the gunship, the 3D artist decided to place his highly-detailed LAAT/i as if inside the maintenance hangar, surrounded by repair boxes and tool cases. The star of the battle of Geonosis and arguably the most iconic craft to serve in the Clone Wars, the LAAT/i Gunship is ready to join your 3D printing fleet!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
LAAT/i Gunship for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 45 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 gunship model was divided into many assembly parts, e.g. its tail cannon, laser cannons, sliding side doors, ball turrets, pilot and gunner seats, dorsal missile launchers, tail ramp, handrails, etc. are provided as separate STL files. Various special mechanisms were introduced to ensure that the model has fully articulated elements in it (please, see “Versions’ Specifications”). For you to display the LAAT/i Gunship model among your Star Wars collection there is a platform provided that is made to resemble the fragment of a hangar. In order for the platform to fit the build plates of the average 3D printers, it was divided into 16 parts. 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 "AssemblyManual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA/SLS 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assemblyvideo” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the LAAT/i Gunship 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 LAAT/i Gunship that is 17600 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/34 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/68 for the DLP/SLA/SLS version.

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
Bottom 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.
