Star Wars X-Wing

Replica of a T65 X-Wing Starfighter at 1:270 scale.

The standard version is “t65_x_wing_print-in-place.stl”. The wings are print-in-place and can move ~30°. They are printed at 15°, halfway between open and closed. I had to exaggerate the diameter of the cannons to make them less brittle.

The version with pin (t65 x wing-pin) is compatible with a small pin and base (link)

Red Squadron

Wing markings for red squadron. Red 1 to 6 should be accurate (at least as far as I could find out), Red 7 to 12 are pure speculation. Just add them as a part before slicing. They work with the standard, print-in-place version only.

Old version

This version encompasses the files “t65_x_wing_back.stl”, “t65_x_wing_body.stl", “t65_x_wing_wing_1.stl” and “t65_x_wing_wing_2.stl”.

This is an old version which is not print-in-place, but comes in four pieces. The cannons are printed parallel to the printbed, making them less brittle. This allows them to be smaller in diameter. It requires glue and sanding. To put everything together you have to:

1. Remove all supports. Be carefull seperating the supports under the cannons.

2. Sand the underside of the wings until they fit into the body and can be closed properly.

3. Insert the wings into the body. Make sure they are the right way around. They should line up, with the sanded underside pointing down.

4. Glue on the back cover. Be carefull not to glue on the wings.

If you want tu use the stand, you will have to add "t65_x_wing_peg.stl" as a part in your slicer.

A lower layer height is recommended for this version

Print instruction

Everything can be printed at 0.15mm layer height with supports on buildplate.

The cannons on the standard version can cause stringing.

If you are printing only one model by itself, I recommend reducing the speed after about half of the height. This is not necessary when printing several copies, or when printing it alongside another model of the same height or taller.

UPDATE [2024-09-14] I have changed the wing-joint on the print-in-place version. Previously, the wings only crossed once, but now they cross three times. This increases the stability of the wings, so they dont wobble around as much.

UPDATE [2026-01-11] Made the wings slightly thicker and made the pieces that connect the wings to the mechanism in the middle slightly longer
