Features
The sliding door retracts into the hull;
Windows come as separate parts and can be printed with transparent filament;
Adapted for LED integration with special tunnels to light up Spindrift's engines and interior;
The assembly parts are connected using specially designed integrated connectors that fit securely into the corresponding slots. Some model parts use separate connectors (part "_48_pin_V1_X20_FDM", requires 20 copies), or short pins cut from regular 1.75 mm PLA filament. These pins are highlighted in red throughout the PDF and video assembly instructions. Optionally, for added strength and rigidity, the static assembly joints can be glued together;

3D model history
The Spindrift, the iconic spaceshipfrom the classic sci-fi TV series Land of the Giants, holds a unique place in retro spaceship design. Launched as a sub-orbital commercial passenger spacecraft, its seventh flight took an unexpected turn through a mysterious energy storm. Instead of arriving in London, the Spindrift was shrunk and crash-landed on a planet where everything existed on a colossal scale—a world populated by giants. This dramatic event set the stage for the show, turning the elegant vessel into the stranded crew's primary shelter and mobile base as they navigated a world of towering dangers. The Spindrift became a symbol of their ingenuity and struggle for survival against overwhelming odds. Bringing this memorable sci-fi ship to life as a 3D model of a spaceship was a journey in itself for our contributing artist. Inspired to capture the distinctive silhouette and intricate details of the Spindrift, the 3D artist translated its unique design into a premium 3D print model, ensuring fans could own a detailed piece from the Land of the Giants legacy.

Community Support Team To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
Generic
Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Bambu Studio, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.
Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use, and especially the particular assembly part you are working with. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review, and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.
Note:
You can scale up the model (downscaling for FFF/FDM 3D printers is not recommended!);
All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
