Boost MeBoosts are fuel for my brain! :)

 

This model is inspired by the famous Alien Gargoyle of Paisley Abbey in Scotland. High on the medieval abbey walls, among traditional stone figures, sits a creature that looks suspiciously like the Xenomorph from the Alien movies. The carving dates back to a 1990s restoration project, where stonemasons were given creative freedom – and one of them left behind this pop culture Easter egg. Since then, the Alien Gargoyle has become a mysterious blend of history, architecture, and sci-fi legend. This 3D print brings the eerie charm of that creature straight into your home. Whether you mount it on a wall or use it as a display piece, it’s sure to spark conversations. Perfect for fans of Gothic architecture, unusual history, and the dark side of science fiction.

Print Recommendation:

I recommend printing this Model with a layer height of 0.20 mm, and from the upper part of his teeth upward with a layer height of 0.08 mm. The variable layer height is already set in the 3MF file. 

 

Support Structures:

The print’s support structures are very easy to remove. Supports in the wall-mount holes can be easily removed with tweezers, piece by piece.

 

 

Wallmount System:

Lightweight and easy to mount – just use the included template to place two nails in the wall and hang the gargoyle using the holes on the back.

 

 

Have fun printing!
