MechWarrior video game abounds in cool robots, tanks, and other infantry, which let\u2019s be honest, is the perfect environment for every boy and man out there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And if you have ever got the chance to play in this engaging video game, you\u2019re most probably one of those people who has been spending hours on end shooting and fighting from the cockpit of your bipedal BattleMech.<\/p>\n

Long lost are the days when you could maneuver your Mech only in the video game. 3D printing is to blame.<\/p>\n

The additive technology<\/a> lets you have your BattleMech outside your computer screen. Oh, and you know what? You can customize it according to your own liking if you have 3D modeling skills. Isn\u2019t that awesome?!<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ve been rummaging through the Internet for beautiful MechWarrior 3D prints<\/a>. In an honest word, people are amazing. Words can\u2019t describe what they can do with a computer and a 3D printer.<\/p>\n

We gathered top 10 most impressive MechWarrior 3D printed figurines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

#1. Printed and painted Catapult 3D Model<\/h2>\n

You will say that this is not an objective opinion, but hey, you can\u2019t blame us. The Catapult STL files have been printed into an awesome Mech by Gambody<\/strong> customer Alexei Bruton.<\/p>\n

\"While<\/a><\/p>\n

According to Alexei, the printing took about 1.5 weeks. 4 hours went for assembling the beast.<\/p>\n

Since Alexei went and printed the Catapult, the 3D modeler improved the STL files, upding the 3D model and improving the joints to increase the workability of the model. The cockpit of the bipedal machine underwent a facelift, a nose being added, and special slot places to facilitate the mounting of additional weapons. The improved and upgraded 3D model consists of 36 parts, while the previous version numbered 27.<\/p>\n

\"Realistic<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s more. With the new slot places designed onto the cockpit, the 3D designer created 3-pack weapon add-ons<\/a>. You can print them and attach\/detach them as you like.<\/p>\n

The printed Catapult stands 10in tall.<\/p>\n

You can find MWO Catapult 3D model STL files on Gambody<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#2. MWO Atlas 3D Print<\/h2>\n

Redicubricks <\/a>Atlas 3D model<\/strong>, inspired from the BattleTech Universe, is another impressive print that we couldn\u2019t overlook.<\/p>\n

\"Atlas<\/a><\/p>\n

The 6in tall poseabe model consists of 30 parts. It was printed in silver PLA material<\/a>. All joints are workable. It features detachable side guns.<\/p>\n

Of 30 parts, only two are glued, from the upper torso up.<\/p>\n

\"Poseable<\/a><\/p>\n

Gambody has 3D printed the Atlas<\/a> that is available for sale on its marketplace. The one on Gambody consists of 49 parts and it features ball joints that contribute to the 3D model’s workability and operability. The Atlas 3D model stands on its own feet, it has a rotating torso moving arms and feet. It is 3D printed in PLA material on an Ultimaker 2 3D printer.<\/p>\n

Below you can watch the time-lapse for the 3D printing of the model.<\/p>\n
