3D model history
In the void between the USS Palomino and the ghostly USS Cygnus, courage came in the unlikely form of V.I.N.CENT (Vital Information Necessary CENTralized), a hovering companion. Quick-witted, philosophical, and fiercely loyal, he sparred with crewmates in humor, bonded with Old B.O.B., and stood unflinching against the menacing Maximilian in The Black Hole movie. More than a utility machine, V.I.N.CENT became the film's moral compass, proving that bravery and heart could live within circuits and steel.
This V.I.N.CENT 3D model brings that spirit into stunning detail. His domed head can rotate or retract, side arms fold and open with functional claws, and front manipulators extend with partially opening covers. Choose between open or closed limbs and body plates, or swap three expressive eye variants to reflect his moods. For a cinematic touch, the brain under his head cap and chest screen are designed for optional LED lighting, making this sci-fi robot 3D model glow like its on-screen counterpart. A perfect blend of retro design and character, it's a worthy tribute to a sci-fi icon.

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.
