ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Check out the Summoner BattleMech 3D Printing Miniature. High speed, powerful weapon, canonic look - we know you’ll like it. 

Summoner Mech is heavy, though it can develop really high speed - up to 84.6 km per hour. That is possible because it's powered by a lightweight 350 XL engine. This OmniMech is widely used by Jade Falcon Clan. His unofficial name in the Inner Sphere is Thor, which he gained because of its simple but powerful arsenal. As a weapon, it uses LB 10-X Autocannon and LRM-15 launcher. 

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Summoner (Thor) BattleMech 3D Printing Model for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 30 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the Summoner (Thor) BattleMech 3D Printing Model model was divided into many assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM versions 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. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” before getting down to the Summoner (Thor) BattleMech 3D Printing Model 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 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:60 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:100 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)

PrusaSlicer printing recommendations:

 
These basic 3D printing settings recommendations for beginners were tested in PrusaSlicer 2.3.1. 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. 
 
In order to see all the parameters listed below, you need to enable the Expert mode in the PrusaSlicer’s settings.

Speed
Speed for print moves
(We recommend that you try printing with the parameters listed below and then adjust the print speed until the printing quality is optimal for you)
Perimeters: 20 mm/s
Small perimeters: 20 mm/s
External perimeters: 20 mm/s
Infill: 50 mm/s
Solid infill: 30 mm/s
Top solid infill:  20 mm/s
Support material: 50 mm/s
Support material interface: 20 mm/s
Bridges: 20 mm/s
Gap fill: 20 mm/s
Ironing: 15 mm/s
 
Speed for non-print moves
Travel: 100 mm/s
 
Modifiers
First layer speed: 10 mm/s
 
Acceleration control (Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise)
Perimeters: 400 mm/s2
Infill: 400 mm/s2
Bridge: 400 mm/s2
First layer: 400 mm/s2
Default: 400 mm/s2
 
Auto speed (advanced)
Max print speed: 100 mm/s
Max volumetric speed: 0 mm3/s
 
Multiple Extruders
These settings only work for 3D printers with multiple extruders (not recommended for beginners)
 
Advanced
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)
