Eurofighter Typhoon cut into 4 parts by Jasper_snow

I dissected this Typhoon jet Eurofighter into 4 parts for those who don't have a large build plate or don't want to print any support. Then you can use your favorite glue to put the parts together. This model is published previously by nestor_d.
Tips to have a super flat print:
1- I used non-heated bed with 3M blue tape. Make sure to sand the tape surface with a 150 - 120 grit sand paper before printing. Then dust-off the blue tape sanded surface to remove any paper powder resulted from the sanding process. Also make sure the tape is pressed hard to the build plate so it doesn't peel off.
2- Lower the speed of the first layer to 18 mm/s. This will make it stick better to the build surface . Other layers might be better to be no more than: 26-30 mm/s to have better quality finish.
3- Use PLA with 20% infill.
4- When removing the finished print from bed, remove carefully and gradually with a knife so you don't bend the edges or break it.
If you look at the photo you can tell that i was rushing to put the parts together and i used a low quality glue!. Also the model will look better if you used a filling putty to fill the gaps like: Tamiya Putty (Basic Type)https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-87053-Putty-Basic-Type/dp/B000BMYWYW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
