PHOENIX SHIP FROM COMANDO G BY NACHO3D

Nacho Cayuela, also know on social media as Nacho3D, is an agricultural engineer from Spain. 2D and 3D parametric industrial design was always a huge passion for him that ultimately brought him to 3D printing. For the last three years, he has dedicated the little free time he has left after working full time and taking care of his children to design and print all the crazy things he can think of.

Childhood nostalgia is one of the most comforting feelings, especially in today’s trying times, that draws us to reconnect with the rediscovered things. We are naturally drawn to our favorite tv shows and fantasy stories that kept us in awe as kids. This is the reason why Nacho chose to create the Phoenix ship. “One-day ordering toys from my childhood, I found a keychain of the Phoenix ship from the series “Comando-G”/ “Battle of the Planets,” it brought back such good memories that I said to myself, I have to try to design it and of course print it.”

As in his previous projects, the Steampunk race and a laser gun from the tv show The Visitors Nacho knows that one of the essential parts of the printing process is to pay attention to the parts’ positioning. “I have learned how important it’s to position the parts when printing them for the best results and place the print seams in hidden areas,” he tells us. “It’s very gratifying to see that the time that I have dedicated to the design has been worth it when you see the finished model.”

You, too, can now put your hands on printing this Phoenix ship model since it can be found on Thingiverse and Cults3D. The PLA colors Nacho chose for the final print were PLA Extrafill Noble Blue, Pearl Ruby Red, Traffic Black, Traffic Yellow, and the “must-have” Vertigo Grey and Rapunzel Silver. As some might know, sometimes the designing process is never finished as we strike to perfect the design as best as we know. As Nacho tells us, “I’m sure that in a few months, if I take up the design again, I may make some modifications and that I can always improve it.”

Choosing Fillamentum in his project was a natural choice. As he says, “It’s effortless to print with them because they have excellent performance in a wide range of printing temperatures. It’s easy to work with them because you get high-quality parts with great precision. Of course, selecting the right color is easy because you have an extensive color palette, and to get the filaments with the vast distribution network, is also really easy.”
