Digital STL Files

Most ships are separated into a hull model and an engine model. This allows for printed supports to be concentrated in areas that will be covered when the hull and engine are glued together, hiding many of the potentially unsightly blemishes caused by support structure contact points.

 

Insert Engine Block into Hull and glue into place

Each model comes in both plain and pre-supported versions. The supported versions have been test printed successfully on an Elegoo Saturn printer at 0.05mm layer height using resins from Elegoo, Sunlu, Siraya Tech and Conjure, but this does not guarantee successful prints on your specific combination of 3D printer and resin.

Usage License for Digital Files

The included digital 3D files (the product) are for personal use only and not any commercial printing activity. The product is not to be shared or distributed by any means. The product is not to be resold in whole or in part.

Physical Printed Products

For printed products from vendors such as Only Games, the models are separated into a hull and engine components to preserve details of the engines during printing. The engines should be glued into the recessed area of the hull as shown above.

Parts may require some trimming and sanding to clean up any residual blemishes from supports that were in contact with the model during the printing process.

Bases and Mounting

Ship models are designed with a 3.3mm diameter mounting hole which typically shrinks slightly during the printing process and should snugly fit a commonly available Litko 3mm (1/8″) flight peg or our range of M2 Flight Stand components.
