(affiliate link) This is the MG-100 StarFortress SF-17 bomber used by the Resistance (aka the Resistance Bomber). It is a starship from the Star Wars universe with a very unique design that is now available for 3D printing! The final design is a default size of 26cm (10.2in) long and 19cm (7.5in) tall with its display stand, weighing approximately 226 grams. It can be easily scaled up to a larger size, making for an impressive display piece for any Star Wars fan. Printing  This model prints in 49 pieces that can be assembled together using glue. Parts are denoted by -x2, -x3, etc. depending on how many you need to print. Please make sure your printer is calibrated and capable of printing both fine tolerances and small parts. I recommend scaling all parts up by 25% if you want the ship to be easier to assemble. Don't wait until you've printed all 49 pieces to try to put some together as the clearance between parts is fairly small. I recommend printing using the smallest layer height possible (I printed at 0.08mm) and slowing your printer down to ensure everything gets printed correctly. For small, thinner parts, make sure to enable brims so the parts stay adhered to the bed. Parts are already be oriented in the optimal printing direction. The only parts that need supports are sphere-turret-left.stl and sphere-turret-right.stl. Assembly  There is an attached assembly guide with photos showing how to put the parts together. This guide is included in the attachments. If you have any questions, feel free to message me! There are also two stand options for displaying your final model (stand.stl and stand-reinforced.stl).
