3D model history
The USS Cygnus Probe Ship is the vessel of desperation in The Black Hole. Unlike the massive, skeletal USS Cygnus, this compact space vehicle was designed for a clear purpose: close-range research near the black hole's event horizon. After the destruction of the USS Palomino, this small ship became the sole escape route for the surviving crew, including Captain Holland, Dr. McCrae, and the heroic robots V.I.N.CENT and Old B.O.B. Their freedom was short-lived, however. The ship, controlled by the "insane will" of Dr. Reinhardt and threatened by the menacing Maximilian robot, became the final, unwilling carrier for the crew's journey into the singularity.
Inspired by this pivotal ship from The Black Hole, this Cygnus Probe Ship 3D model brings that intense cinematic moment to life. Designed as a premium 3D printed spaceship model, it stands as a fantastic example of a sci-fi spaceship design. The model features a movable cockpit and comes in two versions: a primary display piece and an add-on scaled to dock with the USS Cygnus. This versatility allows Black Hole 3D models collectors to recreate the dramatic context of this vital spacecraft, offering a tangible piece of cinematic history.
3D printing model features
Model-specific features:
- Inspired by The Black Hole, this model captures the utilitarian design of the USS Cygnus Probe Ship, the final escape vehicle in the classic sci-fi film.
- The cockpit is movable, designed to rotate for dynamic display options.
- Includes channels and space for optional LED illumination of the cockpit and the main engine thruster, allowing you to bring this spacecraft to life.
- The model comes as a primary standalone display version and a specialized Add-on version designed for use with the USS Cygnus 3D print model (sold separately).

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.
