Terran Battlecruiser 3D Printing Model | Assembly

This is the Hyperion Terran Battlecruiser as seen in Starcraft 2. The ship consists of 100 parts, will be 60cm (23,6 inches) long when built, and it's been designed to allow easy lighting. Also, the windows and engines are separate parts so that they can be printed in translucent material. The parts have been prepared for printing bed 14cm ×14cm ×17cm or bigger.

This model was tested in Cura 15.06. To avoid printing problems, we recommend the following settings:

Quality

• Layer height: 0.1mm*
• Initial layer thickness: 0.3mm
• Bottom/top pattern: lines
• Skin perimeter line count: 0
• Horizontal expansion: 0.04mm (when entering 0.04mm index, the 3D printer perceives the model as monolith, i.e. as having no hidden layers).

*Layer Height 0.1mm is recommended for a better quality for the printed model. However, the printing time will double.

As a STL file provider, our goal is to ensure that the files are error-free and printable in the most accurate way. This is why we only test print the most difficult segments of the model’s parts.

The model's parts have been tested and printed in PLA. In case you need advice where to get your filaments from, check our partner's website.

Other 3D printing recommendations:

Outer Shell Speed - 20mm/s and Support Speed - 40mm/s settings apply to avoid model deformation.  Apply other settings by default.

Disclaimer: This model will look outstanding if printed on SLA/SLS 3D printer. The accuracy of the model printed on FFF printer can vary from the result shown in the pictures.
