Free model downloads

Open the interactive exhibit for the animated GLB and the STL ZIP download options. The 3MF contains four main assembly pieces, with alignment pins where feasible and a fit coupon.

The resin kit is an approximately 150 mm static display miniature. Digital geometry and reference SLA slicing have been checked; physical test printing remains pending. Supports and resin settings need calibration. The poster illustrates model projections, not original manufacturing drawings.
