3D model history
Small enough to fit inside Pod 4 of Thunderbird 2, yet engineered for extreme aquatic emergencies, Thunderbird 4 is one of International Rescue's most specialized machines. Piloted by aquanaut Gordon Tracy, this compact submersible was designed to reach hazardous depths larger craft could never navigate, deploying cutting lasers, battering rams, and searchlights beneath the surface. With its broad nose, distinctive cockpit, and bright industrial silhouette, Thunderbird 4 carries a practical, retro-futuristic charm that defined Gerry Anderson's iconic series.
This Thunderbird 4 3D model brings that 1960s rescue sub to the workbench in crisp mechanical detail. Designed for maximum versatility, the kit offers plain or lettered hull options, an articulated front scoop that moves up and down, optional front insert parts for specialized rescue tools, and a choice to print the windshield in clear filament or use the included vacuum-forming template part (FFF/FDM only). The model features built-in channels for optional custom LED illumination across the cockpit, front scoop, airlock compartment, and thrusters, with a battery housing hidden behind a removable bottom hatch. Complete with detachable engine inspection covers and a dual-position display stand for level or angled mounting, this Thunderbirds 3D model is a dream project for collectors exploring TV series 3D prints and retro sci-fi STL files. Whether displayed alongside classic spacecraft 3D models or added to a growing fleet of watercraft STL files, this detailed vehicle STL stands out as a premier submarine 3D print piece.

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.

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.

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)
