ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINE

Female Lieutenant Commander Shepard, also known by the default name of Jane Shepard is the player character and the human protagonist of the main Mass Effect game trilogy. Both male and female Commanders in the game can be customised - the player chooses gender, appearance, pre-service history, skills and even the psychological characteristics of the protagonist. The only thing that always remains unchanged is the character’s last name - Commander Shepard was symbolically named after the second person and first American to travel to space. The Female Shepard is strong and respected and is considered to be of equal importance as the male counterpart. The 3D printing figurine submitted by a contributing 3D artist is the author’s own ‘customisation’ of the Commander. Shepard is depicted holding a pistol in one hand with the Omni-Blade ready attached to the other. The author of the model also made sure the 3D printing enthusiasts are still left with certain customisation liberties. A Mass Effect fan can choose to print the Shepard either wearing a helmet or without one and the figurine can also be showcased either with or without the Assault rifle attached to the back of the Commander’s armour. Though the variations that can be introduced are not over yet - go print the figurine and paint the Female Shepard’s armour just the way you prefer it in the game!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING (FFF/FDM 2.0, DLP/SLA 1.0, DLP/SLA Eco 1.0, SLS 1.0)

Female Shepard figurine for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its updating and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 40 hours in total. Due to the fact that this figurine was first released on Gambody in 2016 as a solid one-piece model, for all the Mass Effect fans to print the cleanest figurine possible the model was cut into assembly parts. With the same purpose, such finer model’s parts as an assault rifle and both hands holding weapon are now provided as separate assembly pieces. The cutting of the Female Shepard figurine was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin. Moreover, in order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the model must be connected, the figurine was cut along the contour of Shepard armour’s seams. All the assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out so to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate.

The figurine is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

The model's scale was calculated from Female Shepard's actual height that is 1780 mm. The 3D printing figurine's chosen scale is 1/8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
