ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
The Expanse space opera based on the novel series of the same name by James S. A. Corey writing duo occupies a worthy place among the very best of TV sci-fi. The colonization of space, the development of the relationship between Earthers, Martians and the Belters, the story arc of Detective Miller, the more you learn the stories of the world of the Expanse, the more fascinating it becomes. The Rocinante Corvette-class frigate, originally named the Tachi (ECF 270), was renamed by Captain James Holden, who used it to escape the MCRN flagship where it had been stationed. This vessel, armed with point defense cannons and torpedo launchers became a home to Holden and his crew and played a major role in their adventures across the Solar system.
Inspired by the amazing construction of Rocinante, our contributing 3D artist created this impressive model for 3D printing. The design of the rocket-shaped spacecraft is layered floor-by-floor starting from the reactor and cargo bay upwards to the command and flight decks. The model is equipped with rotating turrets, rocket launchers, rockets and removable panels. It has several installation options and even the tunnels for LED wiring to light up the engine. This iconic high-tech model is a must for your collection of spacecrafts!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
The Rocinante model for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 92 hours in total.
For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, and make use of the active elements designed by Gambody Engineers, the frigate 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 and video formats. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and “Assembly Manual” before getting down to the Rocinante 3D printing 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 Rocinante which is 46000. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:100 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:200 for the DLP/SLA version.
