Fly for the Galactic Republic and add the ultimate heavy starfighter to your collection!
This is a highly detailed, 3D-printable model of the legendary ARC-170 (Aggressive Reconnaissance Starfighter) featured prominently in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars. Known for its aggressive profile, wide wingspan, and massive engine intakes, this model perfectly captures the rugged, battle-ready look of the Republic's premier lone-range bomber.
As showcased in the reference photo arc170def.png, the model features a striking multi-color design with crisp color separation. The iconic deep red markings along the nose and wingtips contrast beautifully against the off-white hull, while the intricate engine detailing and long wing-tip laser cannons are printed in a sleek dark grey. It serves as an impressive display piece for any desk, shelf, or Star Wars diorama.
Model Features
- Intricate Details: Captures the complex textures of the main engines, the multiple cockpit canopies, and the rear tail gunner station.
- Sturdy Wing Assembly: Designed to maintain the proper aesthetic angle of the heavy strike wings without sagging.
Recommended Print Settings
- Layer Height: 0.12mm to 0.16mm is strongly recommended to preserve the smooth slopes of the fuselage, the panel lines, and the fine frames of the cockpit windows.
- Infill: 10% - 15% (Gyroid or Grid for lightweight structural stability).
- Supports: Yes, supports are required due to the low-hanging wings and the long forward-swept wing cannons. Tree (Organic) supports are highly recommended for clean separation from the thin wings.
- Brim: Recommended for the long, narrow wing cannons to prevent them from wobbling or detaching during the print process.
