Description

Version 2 of my original Helldivers 2 Super Destroyer!

The main goal of this revision was to improve structural strength, reduce necessary supports, while maintaining an overall (mostly) unchanged appearance. Additionally there are now centering pins to help with the gluing of the three pieces!

From Version 1 to 2:

15% less filament

16% shorter print time

Much stronger front segment

Reinforced tail segments

Added guide pins

Original V1 description:

A sliced and segmented model of the Super Destroyer from Helldivers 2.

Measuring at 15" long (nose to tail) and 5.5" wide when printed at 100% scale (included print profile).

I do not know the lore accurate measurements, so I cant provide an estimated scale compared to in game.

Supports required, recommended printing the front completely vertical, the two rear halves on their flat faces.

The guns are printed sepparatly, to be glued on later.

Print one rear gun, to mount on the rear center mount.

Print two Missile pods, to be mounted on the two center mounts.

Print two Forwards guns, to be mounted on the two front center mounts.

A printable stand can be found here, couteousy of CatPRAW:

printed off great added it with my bigger ship.

@SiPhTu

How did you get the signage on it? Is it a sticker?

@sleeky

Replying to @SiPhTu :

I'm not the OP but it looks like it was separately printed and glued on

Needed "Strong Tree Supports" for the rear pieces, and I ended up doing a bunch of calibrations to get it working well, but it was worth it! I made my own base, which you can find here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/250210#profileId-266459

Nice profile and model. 4 star because the support is not remobable without damaging the bridge

this is a nice model but im having a lot of problems with the supports, to the degree im having to use pliers to get them off. are there any better settings than the defaults Bambu Studio uses?

The designer has replied

@Catsmgee

I had to use side cutters for my print so I don't have any recommendations. I don't have an AMS (yet) but this would be an ideal situation for the support interface materials.

Replying to @Catsmgee :

I've printed one with and without support interface. The first (without interface) came out awful with the supports leaving behind tons of marks, though the second one with the interface turned out fantastic. Also, awesome model thank you for the work!!!

Brilliant. the clearance for the rods was incredibly tight so I ended up just not using them and gluing it together without. looks great, and the stand really completes the package!

@Oz2824

Love it! Having issues with the connector pieces so I will be dropping them in scale 1%. Maybe that might help, we will see.

@IGiveMemes

I have had a seriously hard time with this build, not only are the supports super hard to remove but the pins to connect the pieces are so weak that you end up breaking the pins off inside the body because they are so tight. Even better, because the holes on the front of the left and right sections are printed vertically they allow more tolerance. Inevitably, they will not fit if you just make the pin smaller because it goes into the front section at a super tight tolerance given the front was printed with the hole on the build plate. I don't understand why you didn't just make the holes bigger and the pins bigger. I've now had to drill out the pins multiple times and ended up breaking my drill bit off inside the print. Would not recommend if you have little patience.
