ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Bulky, old, rusty Sandcrawler from the Star Wars franchise surprises the majority of fans with its unusual, cosmic geometry and 6-storey building height. The fictional tank-like vehicle was used by Jawas, the furry humanoids from the desert planet Tatooine, as their transport and home. These mobile fortresses can survive the most extreme environments and have a special magnetic tube for sucking droids and scraping into the special chambers.

The Sandcrawler 3D printing model, designed by our contributing 3D artist, will undoubtedly blow your mind! Apart from the 3D artist’s accurate and remarkably authentic design, you can enjoy the numerous active mechanisms introduced by Gambody Team. The vehicle has several characteristics that make us feel so excited about it. Highly authentic active suspension with movable wheels will guarantee the mobility of the transport. To access the cockpit you have a removable panel. The large ramp can be opened by pulling the levers in the cockpit. Behind the ramp, there is an active salvage crane, attached with a string that allows height regulation of the system. Advanced users have the option to install the engine in the hidden rear compartment. You can even attach the stairs to the opening gantry! A piece of art that you can purchase and start printing right now!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Sandcrawler for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 50 hours in total. Various active mechanisms were introduced, and an authentic active suspension for all treads was worked out. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the Sandcrawler 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. After downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Sandcrawler 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 Sandcrawler - 40 000 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1/68 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/136 for the DLP/SLA version.

Below you can find printing recommendations for CuraSimplify3DSlic3r and PrusaSlicer software.

Cura printing recommendations:

These are basic settings that were tested in Cura 4.8.0 slicer. 

The test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality CR-10S Pro V2, Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS 3D printers with PLA and PETG filaments.

Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use and especially the particular assembly part at hand. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.

Note:
- You can scale up the model (downscaling is not recommended!);
- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill;
- For all parts of locks (“ge_lock” in “Source files”) you need to change "Brim" type to "Skirt" in Build Plate Adhesion section.

Slic3r printing recommendations:

These basic 3D printing settings recommendations for beginners were tested in Slic3r 1.3.0 software. Test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality Cr-10S pro v2, Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS, Anycubic Vyper with PLA and PetG filaments. 

Note:

- You can upscale your 3D printing models. Downscaling is not recommended - it can make smaller parts of the model unprintable, distort the model’s level of detail and result in assembly issues. 
- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
- When printing Lock connectors, we recommend setting the “Brim width” parameter to 0 in the "Skirt and Brim" print settings. In that way, the Locks will be 3D printed with a Skirt only.

Extrusion width 
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)
