Stargate Pyramid 3D print model

Spaceship Pyramid - FDM + RESIN | STL files for 3D printing on MMF

$14

I was a big fan of Stargate and watched all the movies and shows and when I got into 3D printing I wanted to print the Cheops Class Pyramid starship Stargate. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a model that was detailed enough and that was good enough, so I decided to create a new model that I could make in my 3D printer.

It took me some time to search and find good references and after making the 3d model I had some trouble with the details on the faces of the pyramid Starship. After some work I finally made it. The model was based on some photos from the original movie and some details from the tv show.

I've designed the model to be printed in FDM, to fit smaller bed size 3d printer and to be easy enough to 3d print, but the faces need to be printed in a DLP/SLA resin printer if the model is to be printed in a smaller as the details are too small for FDM.

At 100% scale, the Stargate pyramid is 400mm wide, but it can be scaled down to 50% and fit a bed that is 200mm. The model was split into smaller files, each level is printed on its own. It’s simpler for printing with almost no supports needed. Each sections being its own STL allows for easier print.

After printing the model I decided it needed a base, and it made perfect sense to create a base that represented how the Starship Pyramid would land. So the base is modelled as the pyramids in the desert.

Once all the parts for the model were 3D printed they were primed with Black primer and received a coat of black paint with a slight touch of gunmetal to give it the final look and then a coat of mat varnish. The Faces were primed in black and then painted in gold (airbrushed) ensuring that the paint was always directed from the top so that the grooves would get less paint and achieve the effect desired. Once all was painted the faces were glued to the model with superglue.

Adding sand to the base to make it more realistic display. 

And here is the final product ready for display

I made the Stargate pyramid 3D print for my enjoyment and offered the model to my awesome Patrons that support my work and allow me to make these awesome prints.
