ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
Sentinels are terrifying multi-tentacled killing machines that maintain the physical structures of theMatrixwithin The Wachowskis’ franchise of the same name. A strong resemblance of the machines to cephalopods resulted in the Human Resistance calling them “squiddies”. Similar to squids Sentinels move in large swarms, usually patrolling the now-dead human cities in search of wandering humans. The deadly machines move through the air with ease and are considered to be using some kind of sophisticated hover pad technology, far more improved than the one used in transportation utilized by Human Resistance. The frightening swarm of antagonists that serve to eradicate humankind is undoubtedly an impressive part of the iconic sci-fi universe. Thanks to our talented contributing 3D artist who dedicated circa 180 hours working on the project the awesome Sentinel model is now available for 3D printing. The author of the model did a spectacular job depicting the dreadful robotic appearance of the Sentinel, with its large pod-shaped head and many sharp-clawed tentacles extending from the back. In addition to numerous round eyes on the robot’s head, the 3D artist made sure to equip one of the model’s many tentacles with a satellite dish that is known to serve as an audio and visual sensor. Paying the utmost attention to fine details, the 3D artist carefully included two sets of crab-like appendages on both sides of the machine’s belly, as well as small antennas and sensors on top of its head. The Battle of Zion starring hundreds of piloted APUs under Captain Mifune’s command is a truly remarkable robotic battle scene. Now, thanks to the possibilities that 3D printing technology offers, you can recreate the actual scenario at home! The STL files of Sentinel, the killing machine designed for search and destroy, are ready for download!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Sentinel model for 3D printing is a highly articulated action assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 65 hours in total. In order to ensure the multidirectional movement of the Squiddy’s appendages, the model was divided into many assembly parts and special mechanisms were introduced into all model’s joints to give you an opportunity to display the machine in a variety of positions or scenarios. Thus, the model’s crab-like appendages in front are movable in all four junctions and every single joint comprising each model’s long tentacle rotates with the help of a ball-and-claw connection. It is recommended to assemble each tentacle using 43 tail parts but you can make any tentacle shorter and longer by adding or removing these tail pieces. Every single Sentinel’s claw in FFF/FDM version is fully articulated as well. The assembly of these movable claws requires additional “pins”. These pins do not come in STL files but can be made out of short pieces of regular 1.75 PLA. All Sentinel's eyes are provided separately in the model’s FFF/FDM 1.0 version for you to print them in the transparent filament. The machine's body is hollow in both model’s versions for you to introduce LED wiring and light up the eyes. All assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out 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. We highly recommend that you watch "Assembly video" in the photo preview section before assembling the Sentinel. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA/SLS 1.0 versions in PDF format.
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 actual size of the Sentinel's head that is 1400mm x 1120mm x 770mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

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.
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.

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)
