These days, we’re all very familiar with 3D printers. As the tech and speed improves, so does the quality and it’s highly likely that within the next few years, most toys won’t be bought from shops but printed in situ via bought codes. This project takes a different step, as this over two foot long Millennium Falcon is made in one single piece.
Sploid took a look at this fan made project, cutely known as the Fillenium Malcon which was partly to avoid copyright claims and also because it’s made from 3kg of filament.
Typically, when we see 3D-printed replicas as large as this 2.3-foot long Millennium Falcon, they’re assembled from hundreds of smaller 3D-printed parts. But YouTube’s stonefx83 didn’t want to go to all that trouble, so he simply scaled up Andrew Askedall’s 3D model of the Falcon, and then let his printer run for over nine days and 21 hours straight.
