Ellen Ripley [Pre-Supported]

Printing information

General information

This Ripley bust comes in two parts. One main bust part, and one base part.

FDM information

Printed on an FDM printer it will print without needing external supports. Just make sure you have enough infill to support any internal overhangs.

Resin information

Note: The filenames of Ripley Base RESIN.stl and Ripley Bust RESIN.stl are switched around. If you are using the Lychee slicer files, don’t rename them to their correct names! Sorry about the hassle.

For resin printers, Ripley comes pre-supported (by Charro Zuck!) in three different sizes. 90% (printers the size of the Elegoo Jupiter), 70% (printers the size of the Elegoo Saturn), 45% (printers the size of the Elegoo Mars2).

You’ve got a couple of options:

1. Lychee Slicer Lite (.lyt) files (what are LYT files?) – they’re pretty handy because you get to edit the supports to fit your needs before printing. This is the recommended option.
2. The pre-supported and pre-hollowed .stl files. I’d be a bit cautious with these. If you’re using anti-aliasing it will apply this to the support connections and potentially weaken its structure, which can lead to print failure.

And hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, the regular STL files are there for you to slice and dice as you please.
