ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Step onto the gritty streets of Gotham and witness the awe-inspiring presence of the Tumbler. Immortalized in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, this iconic vehicle is not your typical sleek Batmobile. Instead, it's a brutal, industrial beast - a heavily armored tank designed for intimidation and functionality. Constructed of nearly indestructible blackened metal, the Tumbler exudes power and menace with its aggressive design and formidable features. From its massive exposed tires to its spartan yet functional cockpit, every aspect of the Tumbler is meticulously crafted for maximum impact. With its array of weaponry and advanced capabilities, it's a fortress on wheels, allowing Batman to take the fight directly to Gotham's underworld.

Our contributing 3D artist has captured the essence of the Tumbler with remarkable precision and skill. With a creator's keen eye for detail and passion for the Batman universe, every aspect of this iconic vehicle has been brought to life, from the intricate interior design to the meticulously crafted exterior features, including the spinning wheels, synchronized turning front wheels, and retractable windscreen, ensuring that the Tumbler is faithfully recreated for fans and collectors alike. Whether you're a die-hard fan of The Dark Knight or simply appreciate the artistry of a well-crafted 3D printing model, the 3D printing of the iconic Batman's Tumbler is sure to impress. Add it to your collection of printables and experience the thrill of the streets of Gotham like never before!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

The Tumbler model for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 128 hours in total.

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, and make use of the active elements designed by Gambody Engineers, the car was divided into convenient assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 1.0 version are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and that the 3D printing beginners won’t face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. When downloading any model’s file you will also receive “Assembly Manual” for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF and video formats. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and “Assembly Manual” before getting down to The Tumbler 3D printing model.

The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

The model’s scale was calculated from the length of the vehicle. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA version.
