ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
The Cyclops is an assault class BattleMech that weighs 90 tons and is known to be equipped with an arsenal built to handle almost any situation on the battlefield. The main distinctive feature of the Cyclops is its advanced electronics including the sophisticated holographic Tacticon B-2000 Battle Computer that significantly increases the sensor range of both the Cyclops and all friendly ‘Mechs nearby. The MWO fans single out this ‘Mech for its appearance, speed and relative toughness, noting that the Cyclops can inflict enough damage to take down even the heaviest of 'Mechs if aimed well. So to prove the point, the author of this model for 3D printing depicted the BattleMech with all its assets that are indeed essential when protecting the field commanders in heavy situations. The 3D artist spent 72 hours for the 3D printing Cyclops to be equipped with a powerful LRM-10 missile launcher in the left torso and Zeus-36 Autocannon/20 mounted in the right torso. The former one is known to fire not one but 10 mighty long-range missiles and the latter one is able to cause massive damage within very short range! The 3D printing Cyclops is, of course, also equipped with its distinctive antennae on the top, being absolutely ready to join your 3D printed MechWarrior headquarters!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
MWO Cyclops 3D printing model is an action assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 22 hours in total. The model’s cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support. All the assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out so 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. To allow the Cyclops’ multidirectional movement and rotation the ball-and-socket joints and one-axis joints with lockers were introduced. The joints that ensure the Mech's movability are provided as separate files for you to be able to print them again if the joints' friction happens to lose rigidity. The LRM-10 missile launcher, Zeus-36 Autocannon as well as other armaments the Cyclops is equipped with are assembled in such a way that can be potentially replaced when the alternative Guns Pack for the Mech is released.
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 Cyclops' actual height that is 17500 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/60 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/100 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

Below you'll find detailed slicing settings for Bambu Studio 2.0+, Orca Slicer 2.0+, UltiMaker Cura 5.0+, PrusaSlicer 2.0+, Slic3r 1.3+, Simplify3D 5.0+ to help you get the best results when printing this model. These settings are optimized specifically for this 3D model, but please note they may need slight adjustments depending on your printer or filament. When in doubt, refer to your printer's user manual.
To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.

This field is filled in according to your printer specifications when you add it to the slicer.
You can add custom G-code here for the start and end of the print. However, be careful - this is for advanced users only!
You have to calibrate your printer using Ge retraction test models
Retraction Length: For direct-drive setups use 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm; for Bowden extruders use 5 to 7 mm
This is how fast the filament is pulled back—40-60 mm/s for direct drive and 30-50 mm/s for Bowden setups.
You have to calibrate this parameter: Reduce it until the printer starts to hit the parts with the nozzle during printing, then increase it by 0.2.
For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.
120-150% of your Layer Height
To increase the strength of the print parts, use wall line count: 3
For pins and connectors use 50% Infill
These parameters are for standard PLA plastic. If you are using a different type of plastic, check the printing temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Also, read the description on your filament spool. For fast printers, add +30 °C to the current parameters.
The parameters in this tab vary greatly, it all depends on the quality of your printer. For example, if you have a classic Ender3, stick to the minimum parameters, but if you have a newer printer, for example Anycubic cobra 3 v3, you can select the maximum recommended values
Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.

Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise. Use the minimum value for outdated printers without acceleration calibration, and the maximum value for modern printers if you need it.
These settings only work for 3D printers with multiple extruders
You can try setting all parameters in this section, except the First layer, to values between 0.75% of your nozzle diameter and 1.25% of your nozzle diameter. Adjusting them will help you work out the optimal parameters for the best quality for your print. As for the First layer, you can set it to 150% of the diameter of your nozzle for better adhesion to the build plate (for a nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm, the First layer extrusion width can be from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm)
For better printing quality you have to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test model.
Check your filament manufacturer's temperature recommendations on the spool.
