Fillenium Malcon Improved

Modified Fillenium Malcon in TinkerCAD:

• added rear thruster stabilizers (if that's what the little vertical fins in the back are called)
• changed the angle of the forward wedges to be more realistic; the original Fillenium Malcon had them too skinny at the base.
• Widened the rectangular bit between the forwards wedges to be more realistic
• also ended up with a ton of model errors because tinkercad; however PrusaSlicer was able to automatically fix them (note: not with the NetFabb service); they are mostly smaller errors such as backwards faces. (If anyone wants to undertake fixing up the model, good luck!) EDIT: I was able to fix the models with Windows 3D builder and have uploaded them.

I printed it at 120.03% (or 230.13mm tall), which makes it 1/150th scale. I have also painted it with acrylic paints to make it look even cooler.

The base/stand can be found here: https://www.printables.com/model/212460-fillennium-malcon-stand

EDIT

I have added a version with the cut bottom like the original Fillenium Malcon by Aaskedall, as well as the missing piece if you wish to print it out and glue it to the flat spot on the bottom of the Malcon.

Note: just so that everything is 100% crystal clear, the 'Fillennium Malcon improved' file is complete and does not have the flat part on the bottom, and thus you will have to print with supports.

The 'Fillennium Malcon improved flat bottom' is the one with the cut rear portion to allow you to print it without supports. This pairs with 'the missing piece' file.

As an added note: all files have the ORIGINAL satellite dish (with the exception of 'the missing piece').

Notes:

Prints vertically (nose in the air).
I used custom supports on the bottom only.

Recommended orientation lengthwise along the Y axis (to prevent wobble forwards and backwards).

EDIT

The 'Fillennium Malcon improved flat bottom' file DOES NOT require supports.

Post-Printing

After removing the supports, a lighter can be used to remove stringing. If there are any areas that got stressed and turned whitish during support removal, just hover the lighter underneath for a seconds to re-melt the plastic and restore it to its original color.
