"Deep Reef Defense Fleet" Light Carrier-borne Fighter | Articulated Fighter | Openable Canopy | Minifigure Compatible

Update:

2026/6/4

I modified the seat part; just add a piece on top of the cockpit to accommodate minifigures!

Friendly Reminder:

🧼 Please be sure to clean the build plate before printing:
Because the model has rich details and contains many small objects, to ensure printing success rate, please be sure to clean the build plate! Clean the build plate! Clean the build plate! Important things are said three times.
💡 Recommended cleaning method: Use warm water + dish soap (the kind used for washing dishes) with a sponge to gently scrub the build plate surface, then rinse with clean water, and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. This effectively removes grease and dust from hands, making the first layer adhere more firmly. Do not touch the cleaned build plate surface directly with your hands!

🧩 Easy to Assemble
All parts feature snap-fit or slot designs, allowing for initial assembly by hand. To accommodate different printer models, I deliberately left wider tolerances in some areas. If parts are loose, a small amount of glue can fix them without affecting appearance or function. It is recommended to dry-fit first before deciding whether to use glue.

⚙️ Minimal Supports
To balance complex structures and print success rate, only a very small amount of supports is pre-set in the model (concentrated in local overhangs). After printing, they can be easily removed with minimal effort, eliminating the need for extensive cleanup.

⏳ Print Time
Due to rich structural details or large volume, the total print time for this model is usually longer (with official default settings). However, each print will yield a sturdy, reliable, and worthwhile finished product.

🔧 Expandable / Customizable
Adjustable space is reserved during design for future updates and replacement accessories (such as card slots, bases, pendants of different sizes, etc.)

⚠️ Safety Warning
Contains small parts. Please supervise children during play or assembly, and prevent ingestion!
