TIE Bomber Armada Proxy
Print Profile(1)

Description
Another quick Star Wars Armada model, this time it's the Imperial TIE Bomber.
Essentially shrunk the original model by Tegu8788 down to Armada scale, and added the squadron peg by spacenavy90 (found on thingiverse). Not sure how well the bomber will fit on the original game's squadron base, but its a perfect fit for the squadron base by spacenavy90 (which is available for free under his profile here).
The profile uses normal (non-tree) supports, and there should be no issue removing the supports if you take your time. See the additional screenshots' centre bomber for what happens if you are not careful with removing the supports :)
Model was printed using Sunlu PLA Matte Gray.
Additional info relating to design:
In this instance, I purposefully chose a model with little detail in order to (hopefully) allow for a better FDM printing experience, especially with a 0.4mm nozzle. I personally own other TIE Bomber models that were made for Armada, but the details usually result in fail prints, due to the fact that they were originally made for resin printers.
There have been previous remixes for this specific TIE Bomber by Tegu. Other than using spacenavy90's version of the squadron peg, I also purposefully cut out the “bottom piece” on the TIE Bomber model and put the peg at the centre-front area of the model, between the two cockpits. This will hopefully allow for an easier “plug-in” experience for the bomber, as from my personal experiences, printed squadron models for Armada (resin or FDM) are usually very fragile.
