Printer Settings & Assembly

This model contains tiny details, so it will look best when printed on an SLA printer The ribs are separate pieces that need to be glued onto the spine. I recommend printing a batch of ribs on one printer bed and repeating the process as you continue with assembly. Fair warning: this process is a bit tedious, but attaching the ribs with the spine and then trying to remove all the supports would be even worse.

• SLA AssemblyFor SLA prints, I recommend connecting the spine pieces together using a wire. You can carefully drill small holes into the printed parts to fit the wire through.
• FDM AssemblyFor FDM prints, I recommend melting the pieces together with a soldering tool.

This fan-made model was brought to life by 3Demon, a team of modeling and 3D printing enthusiasts based in Prague, Czech Republic. We’ve been creating 3D printable models for over a decade, from cosplay accessories to all sorts of interesting designs.
