The most popular exotic star ship in the video game No Man's Sky. Lots of refining, test printing, and more refining and test printing [read a ridiculous amount of time] went into making this an excellent model for trouble free printing. I left out a version with landing gear. It's simply too fragile and can't hold up the model. If you still want it, let me know and I'll add one in for you.
A word of caution. The weapons are delicate. Be careful when removing supports so you don't accidentally break them. Even better, if you use a free program like 3-D Builder, you can cut them off to print separately.
I deleted the antennas as they were even more delicate. But I left the bases in place so you could add brass rods instead. You'll need to drill holes for them.
Turning fiction into something you can hold.
I pulled the model files directly from the game. They weren't made for the real world! They had a lot of external meshes for skins and decals that had to be removed. Game models were broken into several sub-models that had to be assembled. Then, all the holes and gaps that don't matter in the game had to be fixed to make printing possible.
