ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
Sentry Turret, also known as The Aperture Science Sentry Turret is the autonomous gun platform commonly seen as an obstacle to the Test Subject in the Portal video game series. A miniature tripod robot with a single red eye serves as a guard of the maintenance areas and tends to speak politely in a child-like voice. But one should not be fooled into believing that small turret is here to help out! On the contrary, the sentry has dual machine guns which are put into operation immediately as the gun platform tracks a target in its visual sight. Once the target can no longer be located with the turret’s laser targeting beam, the gun platform goes into the standby sleeping mode concealing the deadly weapons under the two plates on either side of the body. The author of the Sentry Turret model for 3D printing depicted the gun platform with each side of its arms open, baring two machine guns ready to fire. The common way to disable the turret is knocking it over by hitting with any other object or picking up and dropping the sentry. While this can be an easy and acceptable method to avoid the obstacle in the portal universe, we are sure that having printed the tripod robot on a 3D printer you will treat it with care and proudly showcase among your figurines collection.
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING (FFF/FDM 1.0, DLP/SLA 2.0, SLS 1.0)
Sentry Turret model for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its updating and adaptation for 3D printing took Gambody team 15 hours in total. Due to the fact that this model was first released on Gambody in 2016 as a 9-part version for high-resolution 3D printers, for all the Portal series fans to achieve the cleanest printing result possible, the model was cut into more assembly parts and optimised for different types of 3D printers. With the same purpose, such smaller model’s parts as antennae, eye and both ‘arms’ are now provided as separate assembly pieces. In order to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support tripod’s legs were also cut into six parts. For the platform to fit even the smallest build plates, it was divided into four pieces with the circle resembling Aperture Laboratories logo design extracted. 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 so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate.
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 Sentry Turret's actual height that is 1300 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/16 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:
Bambu Studio 2.0+ 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

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.
UltiMaker Cura 5.0+ 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.
