Liberator

thingiverse

The Liberator model is printable at 435mm (17 inches) length; fitting on most common printers with its largest part measuring around 110mm. To assemble, print four fuselage parts, two green globes, and six nacelle parts/struts (total 21 parts), along with 12 small and 19 large pins. Green globes can be printed or painted before assembly. The printing process requires approximately 60 hours and nearly 500 grams of material. Assemble using superglue, except for the fragile spikes left loose. STL files feature optimized print positions for all parts, which worked well on an UP! printer with ABS and default settings. Two stand designs are included: a 3D printed one and a laser-cut version that requires adjusting slot widths according to acrylic thickness (drawn at 3.2mm). For challenging long spike printing, cotton bud sticks can be used as substitutes.
