Description

I loved the original design of this model, and thought it'd make a fun test for a multicolor print.

I didn't include the original STL files to avoid confusion around attribution, but I've linked to the original over on Thingiverse if you'd like to download them.

The modifications I made were specifically for the Bambu X1C + AMS with a 0.4mm nozzle printing at 0.12mm layer height. Some of the changes include:

  • splitting the ship body into either 2 or 3 parts so that it can be printed flat without supports and allow for printing with a single AMS (4 colors maximum) per print
  • splitting the wings/tail so that they can be printed flat to preserve detail
  • scaling the print up to 150% size so that the writing on the tail can be printed cleanly
  • colors added
  • included a small logo print so that you can test your settings before embarking on the larger prints

Obviously there are more than 4 colors used, so some of the colors (windows, stand, turret top, engine) aren't going to be correct when the file is loaded. For my prints, I switched to whichever colors I needed between prints and updated my AMS in Bambu Studio to avoid having to re-paint each object. I sliced off the barrel from the turret to avoid damage from supports while printing, but you may find it easier to use the original turret model.

(This is my first time sharing stuff on printables, so feel free to let me know if I left anything important out)
