3D model history
The USS Cygnus, one of the most haunting and visually striking spaceships in classic science fiction history, drifted silently on the edge of a swirling event horizon in The Black Hole, Disney's bold science fiction film. This enormous research spacecraft, designed to study black holes, stood as a chilling symbol of isolation under the command of the brilliant yet obsessive Dr. Hans Reinhardt, with the ominous Maximilian robot ever at his side. With its cathedral-like hull glowing against the abyss, the Cygnus became an unforgettable vessel in retro sci-ficinema.
Now you can add this space-gothic masterpiece to your collection with the USS Cygnus 3D model Our contributing artist has painstakingly recreated every truss, tower, and skeletal girder that gives the Cygnus its iconic silhouette. The engine nacelles include isolating tubes that allow for distinct color lighting, while the inner hull can be printed with transparent filament to house LED strips and a battery pack—perfect for adding that ghostly glow. For the ultimate Black Hole pairing, the USS Palomino docks seamlessly with the Cygnus, recreating that crew transfer sequence in miniature.
3D printing model features
Model-specific features:
- This USS Cygnus 3D model beautifully captures the iconic skeletal structure and isolation of the gothic research vessel, inspired by The Black Hole movie.
- The inner hull is specifically designed to accommodate LED strips and a battery pack to recreate the ship's ghostly glow.
- The engine nacelles include isolating tubes engineered to allow for distinct and separated color illumination.
- Includes two nameplate options: one with "The Black Hole" lettering, one blank.
- The model is engineered for seamless pairing with the USS Palomino model and the USS Cygnus Probe Ship model (both sold separately).

To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
Generic
Below you can find printing recommendations for Bambu Studio, Cura, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer, Simplify3D, and Slic3r 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.
