Mini toy sci-fi spaceship separated into easily printable pieces, enabling the opportunity to customise the colour scheme. Great for those looking for a non-franchised and non-weaponised space themed toy. This is the smaller sized version of the ship, and printable in any of three variants: with side text, without side text, or lastly text free but with side intakes. Take your pick! Please note that I accidentally missed taking pics of this ship (except for the apple sizing pic) when I was at it, and that I have instead reused the pics of the larger NO.7 sibling. That means that there may be some slight variation in the finished model.

SAFETY WARNING: THIS MODEL IS NOT FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN - THIS MODEL HAS SHARP EDGES, AND SMALLER PARTS THAT MAY BREAK OFF AND BECOME A CHOKING HAZARD. THIS MODEL DOES NOT COMPLY WITH TOY SAFETY STANDARDS!!!!

● Easy to print parts - no supports required

● Designed with colour breaks. Print parts in different colours on single colour printers for a more interesting look.

● Requires multiple #4 x 3/8" pan head screws (or 4G x 9mm sheet metal screws)

● A Phillips head #1 screwdriver is also needed. Very helpful (though not always necessary) is a hobby knife, a selection of small files, and/or some sandpaper.

The part orientation as per upload is correct. Some parts require a little bridging while printing, though still print well enough without support. Interconnecting part fit may be tight, depending on the plastics used, or the printer/slicer settings. Some careful sanding or filing, or even reducing/enlarging the part size slightly during printing can help with assembly.

Three #4 x 3/8" or 4G x 9mm sheet metal screws are used to join parts throughout the model. One screw remains visible in the thruster once the ship is complete. Colouring it in with a red permanent marker helps a little with visual appeal. With correctly sized parts, no glue is necessary. Lastly, and in general, I get great results printing on rafts.

If you like the model enough to download and print it, please consider taking a pic or two, and posting a make. I like those!

Happy swooshing!
