Isn't that always the case when you're the lowest tier?

The "Jumping Jack" invader, arguabley the most memorable from the game.

The Lundberg of invaders, holds the least amount of stuff.
Is always the last to sneak up on you just when you thought you had the level beat.

These are large flat prints for the majority of the print time and present all the associated challenges. Please read this Printing Tips for Glass Beds if you are having trouble with adhesion, warping, scaring, etc.

Misc Design Notes

Keen eyed video game purists will notice that I've taken liberties with a pixel here and there to make the characters printable and to allow space for hangers. Models were created in blender are are based on 18.5mm per pixel.

Notes on Scaling

Full disclosure I had some trouble scaling these in Cura, I think the problem is that Belnder isn't the best at joining parts cleanly, your results may vary. To maintain accuracy scale parts along consistent dimensions.

TL;DR: scale 10,20,and 30 pt invaders to equal height.
