Imperial Transport
Well, this ship isn't defined any further, not even on Wookieepedia. I'd call it Landing Craft.
Oh, well...
The Imperial transport was a transport model used by the Galactic Empire and Moff Gideon's Imperial remnant during the Imperial and New Republic Eras. It could be modified to transport stormtroopers and heavy weaponry to battle zones or imperial prisoners to the prison where they would serve their sentence.

Found this ship this morning. The print is good, but has some flaws here and there. Thought it was a nice example of how far 3D printing has gotten.
Here are the measurements:
Length: 43 cm
Width: 24 cm
Height: 13.5 cm
By the way I heard the U.S. switch to metric now?
It was printed in 60 hours, sanded and filled with filler twice here and there. Electricity is very expensive here in Germany and the artist put some time into it.
The seller claims 399€ or best offer for it. I think it's not a realistic price. No word if he designed this ship himself. Here are the pics:

According to the article on Wookieepedia, this landing craft had to be 77 cm long to be 1/18 scale. This one is 43 cm long, which is not even 1/24 scale - like Hasbro would to it. In 1/24 scale it had to be 58 cm long. This one here is in 1/32 scale, which is way too small for 1/18 scale (3.75") figures.

Update: I found the source for the .STL file. It's free and made for the LEGION miniature game.
The terms & conditions say, it's allowed to print copies for your own use, but it's not allowed to sell them.

Nice! Off to share this.

Thanks Philipp! That's a great heads up.

Thanks for the comments guys! I see a huge interest in 3D printing here. It'll be beyond due when I start printing myself in 2026.

Found this resin print of an AT-AT through a video on YouTube. Those work great with Star Wars Legion or any other tabletop games like Star Wars Miniatures.

Wow, would love to have one of those!

That's really outstanding. If I was doing Legions sized stuff, it'd be a must have.
