Cute Horror Movie VOL1 - Alien

Cute Horror Movie VOL1 - Alien

A cute tribute to one of the most iconic sci-fi horror films ever made — small prints with big nostalgia

Boost MeBoosts are fuel for my brain! :)

 

This collection brings the legendary Alien movie to life in a cute and collectible way. Featuring four adorable mini figures inspired by the 1979 sci-fi horror classic, this set is perfect for fans who love cinema — with a sweet twist. The collection includes Ripley, Jonesy the orange cat, a Xenomorph drone, and a Facehugger bursting from its egg. 

 

All models are quick and easy to print, require very little filament, and do not need an AMS (Automatic Material System). Each figure stands about 4–6 cm tall and takes around 1.5 hours to print. The designs are optimized for clean, colorful printing and minimal support. Whether displayed together as a set or individually, these figures make a perfect gift for movie lovers and collectors.

Print Recommendation:

I recommend printing this Models with the orignal intendet Print Profil: [Original] variable layer height, hidden seams, minimal support.

This includes a layer height of 0.12 mm and the upper part of the heads (ears, faces etc.) with a layer height of 0.08 mm and hidden seams. The variable layer height is already set in the 3MF file.

 

Support Structures:

Designed with no to minimal supports – easy to remove, no tools needed.

 

Print Color Recommendation:

I recommend the colors i used (see pictures), but feel free to use any colors you like. I used PLA Matte for every color. 

 

Assemble:

I usually use superglue (german).  Use only a small amount of glue — too much slows drying and can ooze out when pressing parts together.

Maker @Berretje discovered that regular superglue can dissolve PLA and sometimes doesn’t hold well. He recommends using a special PLA or plastic adhesive for this purpose. Make sure that you use a at least a Plastic glue!

 

The eyes are marked “R” and “L” underneath. Glue “R” into the figure’s right eye and “L” into the left eye when facing you. For reference, please see the attached picture. Take your time, because in this print, the eyes are really small!

 

Ripley:

Start with the shoes. For the correct alignment of Ripley’s shoes, refer to the picture shown down here. You can tell which side of the shoe should face inward by the shape of the upper notch of the front part of the shoe.

The arms are attached with glue and simply inserted into the sleeves.

Next, start with the head. Take the eyes and glue them into the face as shown in the instructions or the reference image. The eyes are very small — the same applies to the cat. I recommend applying glue directly into the eye sockets, then carefully balancing the eye on your fingertip in the correct orientation so you can see the letter marking. Finally, lower the face (or the eye socket) onto the eye and press it in. 

Next, apply glue to the flat surface of the hair and press the face into it. You can perfectly align the face by using the markings along the edges of the hair as a guide. It’s normal to see a small gap along the hairline — this makes assembly easier and won’t be noticeable later.

In the final step, apply glue to the lower part of the head — around the neck and hair. You can clearly see the notches where the hair and neck rest on the overall; that’s exactly where the glue should go. Then simply slide the overall into position — it fits perfectly into the openings and won’t slip out of place.

 

 

Facehugger:

Please check the correct facing direction of the Facehugger before applying glue inside the egg. The shape of the hole matches the shape of the lower end of the tail, which helps you determine the correct way to insert the Facehugger into the egg.
