The STL package of this model includes an “All-In-One” Print Profile created for Bambu Lab H2 Series 3D printers. If you don’t have a H2 Series but any other printers from Bambu Lab, simply load the profile in Bambu Studio and change the printer setting to your printer. If you are new to 3D printing and never use a “All-In-One” Print Profile before, follow this instruction: How to use Bambu Studio’s All-In-One Print Profile

If you don’t have access to any Bambu Lab 3D printers. We recommend you to download Bambu Studio and load our Profile up so you can replicate the print settings that we use for each part of the model in your own slicer. We strongly recommend using a 0.2mm (or 0.25mm) Nozzle to print this model!

Please note: The STL for each part was saved in the recommended orientation to print on FDM printers. Hence, when you load the STL in your slicer software, you don’t need to orientate them again, unless you want to try to print them in a different orientation.

So now you’ve got all your parts printed? Great! Let’s assemble the model. I’ll take you through the assembly process step by step but before that, you need to purchase some items:

• 5mm dia x 3mm thick N42 Neodymium magnets (LINK) | Qty: 39-off
• 25x8x2mm thick Bar Magnet Neodymium (LINK) | Qty: 4-off (You can also use slightly smaller sizes as long as the Length, Width, and Thickness of the magnet do not exceed 25, 8, and 2mm respectively. The most important dimension is the Width – should be 8mm. If less than 8mm, the Flaps may not function as intended)
• Paper clips (LINK) | Qty: 4-off
• Super glue (LINK) | Qty: 1 bottle

At this step, all I want you to do is try to stack all the parts together to get a good understanding of where they are located. Because there are a lot of magnets you need to fit during the assembly process, doing this first step will give you an idea of how to fit the magnets in each part correctly. Please use the ‘SPACESHIP-XS4 Assembly.stl’ and the photos below if required.
