Description

The Pelican dropship from Halo (specifically, the design seen in Reach). Made partly with in-game geometry. Wings/VTOL jets were intended to be repositionable but I'm not sure how well that works. I also tried to make the landing legs splay out as seen in the game but it turns out you need to have more axes of motion than printing can afford. The legs print out separately but you'll have to snap them into place and be sad that they can't come down.

The print is oriented to reduce the ugly scaffolding attachment marring that my printer does but I'm not sure how well this plays with other printers, but beware of the rear hatch since that's where the most sprue will be attached in any one place - some of the detail will be lost, unfortunately.

Also, if you liked this, check out the other stuff I've uploaded! I have a couple more Halo prints up and I've been working on some Destiny stuff as well.

curious how big the print in the pictures is

I don't have a tape measure or ruler on hand but if I had to estimate I'd say it's about 5, maybe 5.5 inches? (12.7 to 14cm). The print is oriented so that the body of the pelican isn't sticking straight up; I would have put it vertically but that limited the size of the print too much when putting it through the printer I use.

Hey I love this model. Can you make this model as a single object. that would be easier for my printer.

I could but I'm a bit busy at the moment, it'll be a while. If you know how to use Blender then you could easily just import this STL file and merge the parts yourself. I'm also hesitant to recommend printing it as one piece or at a smaller size, because of my experience with how printers handle detail, but it could depend on your printer.

Hey can you make 3d models of the Call of duty mw3 ah-6,mh-6 little bird, uh-60 black hawk and the uh-1y venom from battlefield 4? If you can that would be the best! oh by the way the pelican model is a 10/10 would recommend to any halo fan and collector.

Heyyo, I've downloaded this and have been working on redesigning it for the past two weeks to make it fully articulated, and eventually with deploying landing gear. I was hoping that (given full credit to you for the original model) I could upload my modifications to Thingiverse. I understand the CC license already entitles me to do this, however I wanted to ask you anyway to see if you had any qualms. Great model by the way :)

Oh yeah, of course, go ahead! I tried to make this one have thrusters/wings that you could reposition but I used octagons for the attachments/sockets so it's a little limited; I did also try to make the landing gear deployable but found out that in order to get them to lower like in the games, they'd need a second axis of rotation (they need to be able to swing out horizontally slightly as well as move up and down). Good luck with your edit!

Make one! Solidworks is a pretty cheap CAD software and a great place to start!

Sorry mate, I'd love to help but there's a lot of unknowns with your request and I can't really help effectively through the comment section of this site. I guess I can try though? If you click download, you should get an STL file or a .zip file with the STL in it. This is what the printer reads, and I think with most printers you can just feed them an STL file directly, though some of them like to have a slicer program like Cura which acts as a middleman and offers more fine-tuned control over the printer. I don't know what kind of printer you have but if it has a slot for a USB stick or a microSD card you might be able to put the STL file on whichever of those it uses and just have the printer spit it out directly. Also, you should check out the 3D printing subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting) as they'll probably be able to help better than I can. Good luck!
