ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
The plot of the sci-fi television series Stargate SG-1 revolves around the powerful portal devices called stargates. Stargate is a mechanism consisting of hyper-advanced large rings that allow intergalactic travel; it is operated with the help of a special dialing system which allows to set the coordinates of a specific space location and generates a stable wormhole for the space journey. Being under the constant threat from the hostile Goa'uld race, the earthlings establish secret military teams, with SG-1 as a flagship team, to carry out exploration missions through the stargate to find methods of resistance to the Goa'uld.
The Stargate 3D printing model from our contributor is an example of meticulous and skillful work. The 3D artist managed to recreate the portal device with great precision, and, besides the thought-out model building, you can see such details as alternative wormhole designs, ring engravings, and active control panel articulation mechanisms, among others. And our Team of moderators made sure that the STLs are top-quality so the model is perfectly adapted for 3D printing. Watch your printing dream become reality with the legendary Stargate!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
The Stargate model for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 109 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 device 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 Stargate 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 diameter of the Stargate. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:32 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:64 for the DLP/SLA version.

Chevrons mechanism
The chevrons are designed to be movable and include two fixation positions: open and closed. However, at the standard scale and when printed in FDM, the lifting mechanism may not perform exactly as intended due to the relative softness of filament materials. Better results can be achieved by printing these parts in high-quality resin or at a larger scale.
At the standard scale, we recommend deciding in advance whether you’d like the chevrons displayed in the open or closed position and fixing them in place with glue. Please also note that for proper internal lighting, the chevrons should remain closed.
Regarding screen accuracy, you are correct that the small size of the parts does not allow for a fully illuminated chevron design identical to the TV series. Additionally, it’s worth noting that in the feature film — unlike the series — the chevrons are not illuminated at all.
DHD turning mechanism
This is a precision mechanism that requires careful assembly. For best results, we recommend the following:
- Shafts and gears should rotate freely with light manual force
- Shafts should be printed with at least 50% infill and 3 outer walls
- Gears should be glued to their corresponding shafts (#53 to #52 and #54 to #55) to eliminate excess movement
- A small amount of play may still remain in parts #50–53; to reduce it further, short pieces of filament can be glued into the holes
- Using silicone lubricant is also recommended
If difficulties persist, our team can assemble and demonstrate the mechanism to help clarify how it works.
That said, to further improve the DHD mechanism, its design has already been updated:
- For FFF/FDM, part #47 was modified and a new locking part #61 was added
- For SLA, part #29 was modified and part #41 was added
Parts #4 and #8 alignment
These parts do align correctly, as confirmed by the author (see images 1–3). In most cases, the issue is related to orientation. We recommend rotating one part relative to the other by 90° or 180° to find the correct position.
For example, when parts #4 and #8 are in an incorrect orientation and rotated 90° relative to each other, they appear as shown in image 4.
If alignment issues persist after testing different orientations, this may indicate printer calibration or dimensional accuracy issues, in which case reprinting the parts after checking printer kinematics would be advised.
We hope this helps clarify the design intent and assembly details. If you need any further assistance, we’re always happy to help you achieve the best possible result with your build.

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.
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.

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)
