<p>With the anticipation of the Dune sequel, I thought it'd be a fantastic opportunity to craft a unique gift for my friends.</p><p>This creation is inspired by the House Atreides Ornithopter, as depicted in Denis Villeneuve's recent film adaptation.</p><p><strong>Available in 256x256 to 120x120 </strong><i>(check details for 120x120)</i><strong> printing plate sizes.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color:#E14747;"><strong><u>Assembly Guide avalaible further down</u></strong></span></p><h3><strong>Features:</strong></h3><p>The model can be displayed in either flight or landed modes.</p><p>The parts are designed to fit together with tight fit, eliminating the need for glue. However, given I tunned the fitting with the specific calibration of printer, minor adjustments with a dab of glue might be necessary for others.</p><ol><li><strong>Foldable Wings:</strong> Transition the wings between flight or landed positions. Be mindful that when fully folded, the weight of the wings could tip the model backward.</li><li><strong>Landed configuration:</strong> This is the default configuration in the kit so you can display the model without anything else.</li></ol><figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-center" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/783683/rich_content/f045ae31-46f9-46b8-b5c1-46b0dd05fe5a/screenshot-2024-03-05-160105.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22c21f633d-eca5-4e2e-8576-fc394b5ff88c%22%2C%22w%22%3A1118%2C%22h%22%3A733%7D"></figure><ol><li><strong>Flight configuration:</strong> For those who favor a flight display, you can swap out the ramp and front landing gear with the upgrade kit provided in the downloadable file.

<h3>NOTE:</h3><p>Please read the instruction guide below. I try to make the guide as comprehensive as possible and will fine-tune it along the way with user inputs.</p><p>I do my best to double-check and test the print profile I create. <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(33,43,54);font-size:16px;">They are up to date with whatever changes I made to the designs.

Please choose the correct print profile for the different printers. In addition, I am working with US and EU vendors<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(15,20,25);"> to provide CUE and also CUE hardware kit (pre-cut acrylic cover, and all the parts in the Bill of Material) . Users can buy CUE read-to-use or print their own and assemble with the hardware as a project. More information on vendors coming soon. </span></p><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/648695/2024-01-21_616e37ccd788c.png"></figure></td><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/648695/2024-03-06_89d0ba053233f.png"></figure></td></tr><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/648695/2024-03-06_5be333ad41862.png"></figure></td><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/648695/2024-03-06_83cc98398603c.png"></figure></td></tr></tbody></table></figure><h3> </h3><h3>INTRODUCTION</h3><p>Living in Singapore, South East Asia, the high humidity makes printing pet-g challenging due to the hygroscopic nature of the material. A spool of pet-g cannot be left in the open for long prints and can result in stringing and print failure.

So I designed <strong>CUE</strong>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>CUE</strong> is an acronym for Cute, Unique, and Enclosed.
