3D Printable: Sci-Fi Containers
Deployable Cargo is a small collection of science fiction containers for 3D printing. They have been designed to print easily and work well with figures for Corvus Belli's Infinity¸ Games Workshop's Warhammer 40¸000¸ and many other games. The three larger pieces make great standalone scatter terrain that can be painted up and thrown on the table very quickly¸ while the two smaller pieces are very useful for kitting out armories and other detailed terrain scenes¸ making objectives¸ or decorating bases.

ComponentsIncluded in Deployable Cargo are five main designs¸ with a few variants:
-
Shipping Container [48x60x42mm]. Four minor style variants are included¸ as well as a version of one variant that is completely open with separate endcaps¸ and one with details on all sides (i.e.¸ no bottom face to go against the buildplate).
-
Large Chest [38x35x32mm].
-
Medium Chest [36x18x20mm]. Both open and closed versions are included¸ the latter with a separate lid. Two versions of the lid are included¸ one with integral supports that can be plucked off with a fingernail¸ and another requiring support.
-
Small Chest [18x13x10mm].
-
Canister [11x11x15mm].
One variant of the shipping container is available as a free download on Thingiverse ; print it out to give the set a try!
PrintingThese pieces have been designed to be easily printed at high quality on most home printers. All of the designs should be printable without supports on most home printers¸ greatly reducing prep time. The photos here were printed with the following settings:
- HIPS filament
- .5mm nozzle
- .18mm layer height
- 1mm shell
- 20% infill
