UPDATE (Nov 2025): Based on user feedback, the tight tolerance cards and parts have been tweaked to add more clearance between parts for easier assembly.
Please note: This model was designed years ago before the invention of modern printers with super tight tolerances such as the Bambu printers. Therefore, it is recommended to use the “tight version” of the model when printing it on your Bambu printer.
Snowflake Themed Star Wars TIE Fighter Kit Card can also be used as a Christmas Tree ornament. Hollow or solid wings available to suit your preference. Also contains a version with a ring for hanging and without the ring.
- A filament swap can be done around 2.4mm up to add some detail to the cards. Check your slicer for the proper swap height.
- Individual parts are included so you can print the model without the sprue to save plastic if desired. Parts are now labeled with the letter from the instructions.
- A pdf of instructions is included to print and hand out with the cards if they are given as gifts or stocking stuffers.
- Good bed adhesion is a must for the details to print properly.
- Z height may be adjusted slightly up or down if parts are too tight or too loose from your printer.
NOTES:
Cards marked as "easy" are for people struggling with bed adhesion. They have all solid bottoms with no disconnected parts. The wings and the cockpit won't have any snowflake details on one side, but hopefully it will print.
