Samus's Gunship - Metroid

thingiverse

Samus Aran's incredible gunship from the Metroid games. The gunship has many different designs but this one is most similar to the ship seen in Super Metroid and Metroid Other M. The model is the gunship trophy from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. which was uploaded to http://www.models-resource.com/wii_u/supersmashbrosforwiiu/model/10549/ by user ThatTrueStruggle. I simply cleaned up some issues in the model for printing and made a couple slices in spots that I thought might make printing easier. Print the vertical or horizontal sets with the flat parts down and then glue together or use supports and print the full model as you want. Samus's ship is a difficult shape to print. Beware of curling on the tapered edges. I've successfully printed the vertical sliced version but I haven't finished painting it yet. See you next mission.
