Fan recreation of a space ship thing that I love.
Prints in place with no supports needed.
You may need to increase the raft radius if the model is falling over mid print.
Additionally, if you are using a printer with a moving build plate. Rotating it 90º can help with it falling over.

I'm using repetier host, and cura slicer, but when I load the model, it says it's not "watertight" and to fix it. I try that, but it comes up totally messed up. I allowed slic3r to "fix" it, and the sliced model looked okay, but when I tried to print it it didn't work at all.
I have various models that I print using PLA and they come out great, but this one, came out with the layers not quite "together" (mushy) Any suggestions?
I can't wait to print this at 200%! Amazing model thanks!
is it empty from the inside and if not can somebody make a remix for it beacuse im making a drone for it so..
We printed this once but it was paper thin it still came out great. Were at it again but thicker walls this time nice work.
Its time i make this.
Its printing on my CR-10 as big as i could fit it! almost 400mm tall, I will post photos when done...roughly 4 days
Just printed this for my Star Wars mad 10 year old Godson, have tipped a bit low as only 7cm high! only had an hour and a half to print, lol
Just printed this MILLENNIUM FALCON model! Check out my time lapse video of the print:
Thanks aaskedall for a great model!

This is an absolutely beautiful model, in fact my favorite. I was wondering if you could provide a complete version, where the tail isn't flattened? I would like to be able to slice up the model and print it HUGE, but I also, would like it if the engine section was complete. It would be SOOOO sexy. :)

WOOOW, one of the best prints i ever made. Best is that i don't need any supports, just slice it, print it and that's all, thank you Aaskedall for this awesome model.
too bad the model is split right above the satellite dish. or this would be a good model
For those who want to print this with the rear end included, I reconstructed the missing part: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1773111
Or you can just print the missing piece and glue it to your existing print.

Tried to print this about 3 times but each time it just falls over. I don't know what to do. Should I print it not straight up?
Hi there!
I tried to print this Millenium, and the guns on top didn't print properly. Any suggestion to improve that? Thanks!
for those that don't know windows 10 has a 3d model viewer. if you open these broken stl's in there it'll tell you it's broken and ask you to fix it. Let it. It does a really good job. Meshmixer failed for fix this one but the windows 10 3d model viewer fixed it perfectly.
fantastic model, I'm in the middle of printing it and it looks great
Any chance you could include the satellite dish separately so I can glue it on afterwards?
Thanks!
This is an amazing model! I just finished printing one, and it looks great. Thanks, aaskedall!
Howdy,
Anyone know why the slc3r program that came with prusa isn't making the model correctly? When I import the model it has a bunch of holes and stuff in it.
Thanks in advance
Hey Ho from Germany,
I just printed the Original with landings. Quite good so far...everything looked okay. I printed it with 70% Scale so it doesnt Take tooo long. But now the print stoped and says finished. and its only 30% printed i think.
Does anyone have a reson for that or can tell me if there is a file without mistakes maybe? is that already fixed?
Resized it to max with Cura, Raft on no extra settings. No problem with Monoprice mini select!
My printer can only do a max height of 120
If I try and resize in S3D it doesn't print properly.
How can I scale this down properly to print on my printer?
Thanks,
D.
I am printing yet another copy of this model as a gift. I have already given three of them away with two of the three having been painted and weathered. This is a really, really nice piece of work and could very easily be on a for-charge website. I just left the designer a tip. I hope that some of the other 390 people that have posted their makes here, or the many more that have not posted, will do the same.
Amazing model! Printed this at 100% and posted the Make, came out reasonably except for the pipes at the bottom which I can't seem to get to print well. I'm not sure if it's due to retraction issues or the nozzle size (0.4mm nozzle for 0.16mm layer height), any ideas are welcome...I'd like to print a really good one as a gift.
Awesome model! I printed the original one without landing gear at 10cm tall with Makerbot replicator 5th gen, 0.2 layer, 20mm raft (a large raft, more than enough).
Amazing Detail. Even has the seats & controls in the cockpit!
Definitely needs a sturdy Raft, but no supports. I toppled over about 1/2 way though first attempt with just a Brim.
PLA printed @ 200°C & 30mm/s.
60% Scale, took about 6hrs on my Ultimaker2.
Also, the stand is a great addition:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1935238

I had no problems printing this on my Anet A8 with a 0.2 layer, 55mm/s, 200/60c PLA and 10% infill. I did slice using S3D and uploaded my make.
Impossible to slice or to repair with Netfab......can't print it. And this is the same for all the files.
This guy remixed it and did some fixes: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1773111

Could this be split in the centre making a top and bottom to be later glued together? Is there a version without the back flattened out allowing it to print upright?
Having a hard time getting a good print , gaps in outer perimeters about 11.4mm from bottom of print. If you slice it at .2mm layer height you will see the missing material in outer perimeters at about layer 56-61. you can visually see it in repetier host if you slice it with No infill, Zoom in after you slice and there it is

I am encountering problems with the overhangs on this model. .2mm layers, 40mm/s print speed, 205C, PLA, 20% infill.

Any tips?
I was using the Tiko Printer and there is no way to set the raft settings on there that I know of. Being new to this I am just figuring out how to print let alone how to make adjustment to my print and printer setting. Hopefully, one day I will find a resource that will teach me how to even make my own prints from scratch and also be in possession of a better printer like the prusa.
Tipped halfway so I do recommend adding some support to hold it in place. Would have taken 7hr 15min on a Fusion 400s at .20mm layer height. Looked great at 100%, going to try 150% next time.
Everytime i try to print this it shift. is any one else having this problem?
Good model, if look from side economy. But I'm looking smt much detailed, did you saw this Falcon printed model http://gizmodo.com/it-takes-3-months-just-to-3d-print-all-the-parts-for-th-1762361322
I'm printing this at almost full size, about 92% or so. It's printing fine, but I notice the detail on the sides of the ship tend to curl upwards as they start to extend out from the body around the curve. It's not causing the print to fail, but now that it's about 20% done, you can see it's not a smooth ridge but actually rather bumpy as a result. What can I do to combat this? I have a blower fan and fan duct running at 100%, is it cooling too fast perhaps?
I'm printing PLA @ 210 degrees and I've been getting really high quality prints otherwise. Thanks!
Love this Print!

How long should it take to make? My little Da Vinci Pro is saying 24 hours. Is that to be expected?
For anyone having trouble with printing this, I fixed the part up in magics: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1534283
Intended for stereolithography, but probably just as useful for FDM and LS.

Hey aaskedall
Great work, thnx for sharing.
But was wondering... Could u upload a version without the rear end cut off?
Kind regards
Bek13
it was too big for my QIDI printer so I scaled it down a lot!
Just barely fitting in mine, it would take 8hrs.
My print attempts of this constantly fail at about 30%... is there a cut version of this or something? it's really frustrating and I want to print this more than anything else..
How big is the actual Structure i ant to see whether it will fit on my printer?
how long will it take?
and how heavy is it in grams?
We printed one on the Cubicon 3D Printer and we had to build a platform/raft to prevent it from tipping over - woke up to a machine full of spaghetti filament lol. Other than that, the print looks amazing!

I can't get the one with the square dish to print correctly. I load up the file in makerware, scale to fit for my 5th gen makerbot and it says 1:54hr to print?!? I start printing and it only finishes about 20% of the file, stops and says its completed. Oddly, the one with the round dish works fine.
when i put them in repetier i get a message its not manifold. When i go to the repair service https://netfabb.azurewebsites.net/
i can upload the file but halfway during repair it just stops and times out and it wont fix it. i tried all 4 files.
Not a manifold just means that there are holes between the inside (where infill is put) and the outside layer. the holes are in the cockpit and in the center mounted turrets and don't cause any printing issues. I printed 2 of these, one at 50% scale and one at 75% scale, with both prints repetier gave me the manifold error and both prints came out great. Just slice it as usual and print it.
l am new to 3D printing, about how long does it take to print an object with this detail?
That depends on a lot of different factors that we don't know. Each printing technology (sla, sls, fdm, etc.) is going to have different levels of detail that they are capable of to begin with, and will have their own challenges with respect to support, and such. As it is set up, this appears to be optimized for fdm, That said, even here there are many factors that affect print speed. As an example for this level of detail, I'd like to print with a finer nozzle, say, .2mm rather than the .5 that I have, and print at layer heights of .1 rather than the default of .2. Each of those factors will result in different times taken for a given print head speed. So if I can print at 50 mm/s, printing .1mm layers instead of .2mm will double the time it takes to print. To use a .2mm nozzle instead of a .5mm nozzle I'm looking at about 2.5 times as long. If I do both, I'm looking at about 5 times as long, so if I could print this in 8 hours at .5mm nozzle and .2 mm layers (which would show layers like crazy) it would take at least 40 hours to print this at a higher resolution.
In any case it's easier to determine how long something like this will take to print if you know how much filament you're going to use in FDM, as the other factors provide limits on how much of that filament will be extruded per unit of time (second, minute, hour, etc.)
Most slicer's will give you an estimate of how long it will take to print, or how much filament it will use in the FDM world. I presume that there are similar metrics that slicers for SLA and SLS will give you. Not all of the programs will give you a 'reasonable' estimate. Cura appears to be off by 1.3 to 1.5, estimating low for my print jobs. Not enough to matter on a 5 min job, noticeable on an 8 hour job.
All of this completely ignores the size you are going to print this at. The design gives a fairly idealized model to look at in the online view, and in your slicer. Printing larger editions are likely to look more like the idealized model, but will take longer in a cubed ratio than a smaller print that won't display nearly the same level of detail on the same printer.
All of that said, the only way you are going to know for sure will be to download the .stl, feed it into your slicer, and see how long it takes to print.
Hello Aaskedall,
Thanks for the Falcon file, very, ver cool! I printed one for my 13 year old son. He loves it and now wants to sell a few to friends in school. If he does that, he needs to credit you with the design, right? Anything else we should be aware of?
Thanks,
Jack
To Be technical, you cannot sell the model for profit under the terms of the licensing. We all have heard of the " Just 3D Print " Dudes i'm sure. So even though the creator of the model says you can do what you want, it is still against the terms of the license.
Doing so ( and saying it out loud in forums) will just lead to more trouble. Best to keep that in PM's.
I printed the original dish model, it tipped over right after the satellite dish was printed, very disappointing that I have about half a ship.
Hummm still new to printing I've attempted to print 2x on my FF Creator Pro w/ ReplicatorG.... it crashes/lost packets about 35-45% of the way trough? Thats me printing it scaled to fill space..... Sometimes when I generate Gcode it doesn't show up/bugs out? Does that mean its too much for Replicator G or am I missing something?
Please run this model through a repair tool (so that we don't all have to individually repair it) -- You just need to make it manifold and then anyone can print it.
I tried to repair it myself in 3 different applications to no avail. They all seem to get lost in an infinite loop and would not complete the task. Regardless, it appears that Cura is able to make sense out of the file and slice it even with the manifold issues. I could not verify it as 7.5 hours of print time was more than my patience level would allow.
https://netfabb.azurewebsites.net was able to repair it. It took like 30 minutes though. Never seen one take that long. -- Usually if they take like 1 or 2 minutes, I consider that to be slow.
I just printed this with my XYZ printer on BEST setting. No rafts, no support. Came out better
than my expectations. AMAZING detail. Hats off to you ... now I am going to see IF
"She can make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs."
Took 15.5 hours ... used ABS
I'm a FlashForge Dreamer owner, and I don't know how to increase the raft in my Flash Print software. I want to print this, and whenever I add supports, they don't print. I was going to cut it in half and print it out that way, but I'd prefer to print it as one piece. I'll make an attempt at it and see what happens as is. It's a good-looking model!
Amazing. about to print now. Thanks!
edit- Slic3r did not want to slice it like others have mentioned. Said it was not watertight and will cause slicing problems.
Used Cura and it is printing now looking....ok
Thank you for share this very beautifull model, I have print it as is in pla perfectly. Did you have the model without the base cuted?
Help!!! I printed this on a Flashforge Creator Pro slicing with Makerbot software with no supports - only raft and it printed beautifully. Went back to print another and it fell over at 40% twice. I then read your tip about making the raft bigger and it worked. Went to print another - lots of nephews and nieces that are big Star Wars fans. I even tried one that said it had support on the remix but to no avail. I am printing them at about 10 cm tall. Last night I got one to finish without falling and this morning it failed at about 90%. Have printed at least five times and only have 2. I really need two more to make the little ones happy. How big does the raft need to be and any other tips?
Hi aaskedall, can you upload version where is the (bottom) back side not flat. I want to make it bigger from 2 pieces.
cannot create((((((( my soft can't see all surfaces in model(((( somebody have another model
Amazing model! Any chance someone can fill in the cockpit for smaller prints?
Thanks for this awsome piece of 3d engineering! perfect print on my ultimaker 2.
Keep up the good work. it is much appreciated
This is by far the best Falcon on thingiverse, but it could be even better. I noticed that there are a few inaccuracies: First of all, the cannon and top window. The window is way too big and deep, and the cannon should sort of extend out over it rather than sitting inside. However, that looks like it may have been a modification to get it to print. The other two problems are that the long rectangular bit between the mandibles are too narrow (the sides of it should extend out almost flush with inner edge of the the mandibles—the way it is now, there is this huge gap. Look at some photos and you'll see what I am talking about) and that on the bottom, the rear raised block thing should not be so wedge-shaped, the edges should be at 90° and flush with the front ones.
Can someone cut it in half? My printer can only print at a safe height of 165mm, I'd like to make one at least 250-300mm. Slic3r doesn't seem to work well on these STL.
http://manual.slic3r.org/expert-mode/variable-layer-height
Set it to 0 from 0 to 150mm the first run, and then 0 from 150 to 300mm on the second run and you'll have the 2 parts!
...i just wanted to ask. Did you mean Millennium Falcon, or is that spelling on purpose? Anyway, it looks really good, and I'm sure to print this out!
I'm a Slic3r user with a Printrbot and it doesn't seem to want to slice with slic3r, however it slices quite nicely with Cura.
I downloaded Cura and I was pleasantly surprised that they have printerbot settings out of the box. Cura also lets you save GCODE which you can then load into repetier if thats your preferred program for controlling the printer.
Great model overall, I printed a 50% version which came out nicely, doing 70% next and finally I will print one at 100% overnight.
Great work, looks amazing.
Any chance of step file or such. Would love to edit it to make it in parts and bigger.
Hey there,
I printed your model and made a video, maybe you want to watch it :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7qICmq3VZ4
This is amazing! I printed it on my new Duplicator i3 and it turned out great.
My two sons have taken to my printer more than I thought.
My youngest (age 12) was wishing I had a duel extruder so I could print the rear exhaust thrusters in blue.
I am very familiar with Solid works and wanted to know if there would be a way to get a hold of a solid model so I could make the modifications and print this is multiple parts.
I haven't been able to find another model with the kind of detail yours has.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cannot print it, tried several times but the print pops of the heated bed with just a breeze... T_T
Hi.
Congratulations!!! It's amazing!!
But, I have a little problem. I can't slice it. What slicer did you use?
This looks great! Has anyone printed the vesion with the landing gear down? Does it need supports? (Looks to be a fair bit of overhang.)
Exceptional!!!! Really a greatly detailed model! Thank you very much for sharing!
Sliced with cura as slic3r had it to be repaired with netfab but with ugly results (object partially not void). Loved so much Cura that now i'm stuck with it.
Great job!
really nice model. sadly it oes not seem to print on a Replicator2x. Makerware give an error msg when slicing.
tried a lot of thing, even reparing with netfabb, no luck so far ... any ideas ?
\n{"error":"Coordinate exceeds range bounds.","type":"message"}\n2015-10-01T19:01:16.645247 [E][*] ERROR: Coordinate exceeds range bounds.\n'}
it got printed ;) very nice but only 15cm tall...
i have a few suggestions though:
1) the pipes at the back of the falcon have a gap between the surface. they did print very nicely and coming off. And i printed very
slowly already, outlines 10mm/sec. Would be better to have them resting on the surface. Just a tiny detail but it will improve printing when scaling down in think.
2) since its printed standing upthe back is missing. Do you have that part too? one could print it seperatly and glue it in place
afterwards.
but in all a great detailed model. really like it !!!
http://www.thingiverse.com/make:162269

When i load any of the files, i get the warning that it's not manifold. I think nothing of that (i've printed stuff before that isn't manifold without issues). but when i try to slice it, slic3r only compiles about half of the model. is anyone else having this issue? i REALLY want to print this.
They should all be manifold... so not sure why it's borking.
You could trying running them through netfabb and see if that works. https://netfabb.azurewebsites.net/
good luck.
If you scale it down to fit in the build volume it should print fine with a raft. If it falls over this remix is quite good as it increases the size of the base so it won't fall.

Someone work a Radar Dish for this beauty asap! :D
Great work aaskedall! :D
Firstly, this is an awesome model, probably the best one on Thingiverse so far. Could I request to have this model cut in half in two sections, front and back? My printer has trouble printing the lower half due to the angles, it still came out nicely, except the bottom gets a bit stringy.
OOOOh....i'm new with 3d printers, and i saw your model....by the way....PERFECT. Can you send me too....if it's possible, your model cuted in half, like Kwaaa asked too? Please...the model with the supports landed gear deployed. I'm afraid that my printer could not print the model standed up. I'll have to print with a big base....that's why i'm asking to cut in half the model, so i can use the cuted part to be the base. Thanks.
This is a great model. I printed it with supports on the build plate to keep it from breaking loose from the bed. This thing looks great and printed in ABS at 0.2mm layers. My 4 year old loves it. Well done!
