Brave Sun - Starship STLs Advent Calendar

A pack of asteroids, a comsat, and mines designed for the Brave Sun Starship Miniatures combat system. These could easily be used for other starship based games and systems, such as Firestorm Armada, Full Thrust, Starfinder, and more.

There are versions of each model with and without rod holes, and everything comes presupported, and there are unsupported versions of each model, too. Presupported versions are in .STL and .LYS format (Lychee, which is a great slicer for both FDM and SLA).

This product includes custom Brave Sun bases for the Mines and Asteroids showing their stats and with 1/2" front and back guides in case you want them to move around during battle.

The versions with rod holes are Twist Lock Rod Compatible, which is a new system that is easy to print and allows you to twist the models and base onto the rod so that they stay in place without the need for glue or magnets. When you want to disassemble, you just twist the other direction and pull them apart! (Full Twist Lock Rods Package Link)

Brave Sun Starships and their custom Brave Sun bases are also available here on MMF and go great with these asteroids, mines, and comsat.

Includes a 40mm-Tall Twist Lock Rod STL (3mm diameter) and a Circular 30mm Twist Lock Base STL.

Brave Sun Starship Combat System Official Rulebook & References. Brave Sun is a strategic and fast starship miniatures wargame for 2 or more players. Whether you use Brave Sun starship models, or your own preferred models, the game is quick-to-learn, meaning you can teach a friend and finish a battle in a single sitting usually in around 90 minutes.

We recommend getting the entire Brave Sun Starter Pack Bundle here on MMF, which includes 28 starship models, custom bases made for each of those models with stats, a variety of twist lock rods and adaptors, terrain, tokens, maneuver tracks, and more. The ships in the bundle could be used for a variety of games, not just Brave Sun, and you'll love the new Twist Lock Rod mounting system for mounting your ships.

Or, you can grab the new Standalone Brave Sun Expansion that includes AI rules for solo play, new ships, a new faction, and a set of missions. It also features new styles of twist lock rods and tokens, and of course, the custom bases with stats for each ship. Everything you need to start playing Brave Sun is included in this package, or the starter pack, so you can't go wrong with either one.

Brave Sun features activations, meaning that players take turns activating 1 ship at a time. This generally makes gameplay more engaging and strategic, since the order in which you choose to activate matters, and your turn will come around more often.

There are a wide variety of ships already available for Brave Sun, and more to come.

28 Custom Base STLs with Unique Ship Stats for the Brave Sun Starship Miniatures Combat System, all Presupported for Resin Printing. No need for cards or PDFs to keep track of ship stats, they are printed right on the ship's base! Presupported files come in both flavors: .STL and .LYS. Unsupported .STLs are also included. (Also included, a 40mm-tall 3mm-diameter Twist Lock Rod STL and a 30mm Circular Twist Lock Base STL.)

The best way to start playing Brave Sun would be to get the entire Brave Sun bundle here on MMF which includes tokens, instructions, 28 ships, their custom/unique bases with embedded stats, terrain, the twist lock rod system, and more. (This listing does not include Brave Sun Custom Bases, Tokens, Rulebook, Maneuver Tracks, or Terrain.)

Designed as part of the Brave Sun Starship Miniature Kickstarter campaign which launched in December of 2022. They were released one-by-one each day leading up to Christmas along with a starship model to go with each one.

Compatible with the Brave Sun Starship Combat System, which is a strategic and fast miniatures wargame to get these bases onto the table, whether with Brave Sun starship models atop them, or your own preferred models. The game is easy-to-learn, meaning you can teach a friend and play the game in a single sitting usually in around 90 minutes. (We recommend getting the entire Brave Sun bundle here on MMF, which includes 28 starship models, these custom bases made for each of those models, a variety of twist lock rods and adaptors, terrain, tokens, maneuver tracks, and more.)

Brave Sun bases are also Twist Lock Rod Compatible. The Twist Lock Rod system allows you to keep your rods, bases, and ships separate but easy-to-assemble without the need for magnets or glue. They are also compatible with regular 3mm rods, except for the largest base, which has a 5mm rod hole.

The base sizes vary to represent different ship sizes:

• Fighter Bases - 1.5"
• Frigate Bases - 2"
• Cruiser Bases - 2"x3"
• Dreadnought Base - 2"x4"

(These are the ship categories in Brave Sun, but if want to mount a Destroyer or another category of ship not listed, just match the size to whatever base-size you prefer.)

The system was originally intended for resin printing, but in testing we've found that it works for FDM as well as resin printing.

We recommend printing in at least .2mm layers or thinner, and to rotate models that have the "Twist Lock Rod Hole" to be at about a 45° angle when slicing, with the Twist Lock Rod Hole facing away from the build plate. This ensures proper tolerances are met so the twisting is functional but also moderately tight.

28 Unique and Interesting Starship STLs with 3mm Rod Holes, All Presupported for Resin Printing*. Unsupported versions, versions without rod holes, and presupported versions without rod holes are also included. Presupported files come in both flavors: .STL and .LYS. (Also Included: a 40mm-tall 3mm-diameter Twist Lock Rod STL and a 30mm Circular Twist Lock Base STL.)

These ships were designed as part of the Brave Sun Starship Miniature Kickstarter campaign which launched in December of 2022. They were released one-by-one each day leading up to Christmas.

*Does not include custom ship bases, maneuver tracks, or tokens needed to play Brave Sun: Starship Miniatures Game.

The best way to start playing Brave Sun would be to get the entire Brave Sun bundle here on MMF which includes tokens, instructions, 28 ships, their custom/unique bases with embedded stats, terrain, the twist lock rod system, and more. (The linked listing includes these ships, plus Brave Sun Custom Bases for each ship, Tokens, Rulebook, Maneuver Tracks, and Terrain.)

Brave Sun ships are designed for the Twist Lock Rod system, meaning they are Twist Lock Rod Compatible. The Twist Lock Rod system allows you to keep your rods, bases, and ships separate but easy-to-assemble without the need for magnets or glue. They are also compatible with regular 3mm rods, except for the largest ship, the dreadnought, which has a 5mm rod hole.

These ships are great for A Billion Suns, Full Thrust, Firestorm Armada, as well as other games, but they go best with the Brave Sun Starship Combat System for which they were designed.

Sizes of Brave Sun ships vary from small fighters that are about 25mm in length to corvettes, frigates, destroyers, all the way up to the Salem Dreadnought over 100mm in length. (In the file names you'll notice only Fighters, Frigates, Cruisers, and Dreadnoughts because those are the only formal ship categories in the Brave Sun combat system in order to keep the game relatively simple. For example some ships that might be recognized as a Destroyer are fitted into one of the other categories.)

We recommend printing these ships at about a 45° to 55° degree angle, with the front end of the ship facing upward, and the bottom of the ship facing the build plate for the best quality. Some parts of these ships (some of the guns) are relatively thin, so remove supports with care.

Includes a 40mm-Tall Twist Lock Rod STL (3mm diameter) and a Circular 30mm Twist Lock Base STL.

The Twist Lock Rod system (initially designed for the Brave Sun starship Miniatures Kickstarter) is made for ease-of-use, portability, and convenient assembly and storage of your starship models, keeping the bases, rods, and starship models separate.

There are a variety of options out there for standing your models, but none as simple as the Twist Lock Rod system - Just 3D print, twist on, and you're ready to go! Want to put your fleet away? Just twist the other direction and pull, and you can keep your ships, rods, and bases separate, making them easy to store and carry.

No clumps of magnetic rods, or permanently gluing your ships onto their stands necessary.

All files come presupported including .STL and .LYS versions. The unsupported .STLs are also included if you prefer to create your own supports.

The system was originally intended for resin printing, but in testing we've found that it works for FDM as well as resin printing.

We recommend printing in at least .2mm layers or thinner, and to rotate models that have the "Twist Lock Rod Hole" to be at about a 45° angle when slicing, with the Twist Lock Rod Hole facing away from the build plate. This ensures proper tolerances are met so the twisting is functional but also moderately tight.

The adaptors can be used to convert your starship models into twist lock models! Simply print the twist lock male adaptor, and glue it into the hole at the bottom of your ship. Your ship doesn't even need to have a 3mm or 5mm hole, as you can use one of the flat adaptors and simply glue it to the bottom of the ship.

Keep the orientation of the adaptor in mind, we recommend placing the adaptor so that the long side of the "Twist Lock Rod Hole" aligns with the length of the ship, front-to-back. (Parallel, not perpendicular)

The Rods don't wear out as quickly as you'd expect thanks to the well-tested tolerances. But if they do wear out, all you need to do is print some new rods and you're good to go!

Want to start playing Brave Sun? You'll need these tokens and maneuver tracks! The tracks turn 90° in either direction, and the tokens represent status effects and other factors in the game such as damage, defense, and more.

Everything comes presupported with .STL and .LYS versions. Unsupported models are also included.

Included Tokens:

• Damage (2 Versions)
• Defense (3 Versions)
• Activation (2 Versions)
• Firing Arc
• Command Points
• Cloak
• Stun
• Corrosion
• Initiative

Alternate versions of some tokens are included so you can choose which ones you'd like to print.

Maneuver Tracks come in 3 lengths, 2 inches long, 3 inches long, and 4 inches long! When moving large ships, you can even place these tracks on the side of the ship's base and slide it along the track.

Standard Dice 3D model also included in case you'd like to print your own dice.

(Maneuver Tracks each come in 3 parts and require assembly.)

What else do I need in order to play Brave Sun?

You'll need a standard ruler or tape measure, and some bases that have the Brave Sun ship stats on them. These Brave Sun ships are designed for each of those bases and use the Twist Lock Rod system. Or, you could even use the Twist Lock Rod adaptors to put your own ships on top of the Brave Sun bases!

You'll also need the Brave Sun Admiral Training Manual which will teach you how to be build and command a fleet of ships in the Brave Sun Starship Miniatures Combat System.
