Darth Maul 3D Printing Figurine | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINE

One mention of this deadly Sith Lord is enough to hear the sound of his double-bladed lightsaber igniting and whipping through the air! Once the apprentice of the evil Darth Sidious, the Force-sensitive Dathomirian Zabrak trained to become a ferocious warrior and skilled combatant. Despite being fatal, his iconic duel on Naboo with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi demonstrated Maul’s blinding speed and incredible agility.

Today marks the release that we’ve all been waiting for - Darth Maul 3D printing figurine finally joins Gambody’s Star Wars category. The STL files of the Dark Lord of the Sith come adapted for printing in two versions - you can have the figurine printed with tattoos on his face and without. Both the dynamic pose and the figurine's glance transmit the character's nature. Leave all the doubts behind - there’s hardly a 3D printing collection that can be claimed sufficient without Darth Maul in it!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Darth Maul figurine for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 50 hours. The figurine’s anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the Sith Lord to be depicted harmoniously in the intended pose.

The model’s cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the Eco version. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the model must be connected, the figurine was cut along the contour of Darth Maul clothes’ seams. For you to achieve the cleanest 3D printed result, the character’s head, gloves, boots, cloth fragments, double-bladed lightsaber, etc. are provided as separate assembly parts.

All assembly parts of the FFF/FDM versions come in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate.

The figurine is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

The model's scale was calculated from the height of actor Ray Park which is 1750 mm. The 3D printing figurine's chosen scale is 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
