ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
UFO, created by Gerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson, is a classic British science fiction television series. The Skydivers were fictional futuristic submarines aimed at defending the Earth from alien aggressors. The submarines patrolled Earth’s oceans and in case of UFO penetration, were immediately directed to stop the attacker. Pilot-controlled Skydivers, propelled by twin nuclear turbines, could reach the atmosphere and perform as fighters. The Sky fighters were armed with four machine gun cannons and a pod containing missiles mounted under each wing.
Inspired by extraordinary multifunctional sci-fi craft, our contributing 3D artist created his SHADO Skydiver model for 3D printing. The combat ship will amaze everyone with its shape and futuristic design. Half-submarine and half-fighter, Skydiver has no analogues and is truly authentic. It can become the gem in your collection and present unforgettable moments from the printing and assembly process!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
The SHADO Skydiver for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 55 hours in total.
For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the spaceship 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 SHADO Skydiver submarine.
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 Skydiver which is 36 600 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:64 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:128 for the DLP/SLA version.
