Gordon Freeman to the rescue!<\/em><\/p>\n

London, 16 August 2016<\/strong> \u2013 Gordon Freeman 3D model joins the gang and brings in his fearless nature. The theoretical physicist turned human race defender has acquired true to life looks and is here to win you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dr. Gordon Freeman 3D model<\/strong> is the version of the Half-Life video game character optimized for 3D printing. The 3D video game figurine file is converted to STL format<\/a> \u2013 a file format supported by most 3D printers.<\/p>\n

Our marketplace\u2019s users can download the STL files of Gordon Freeman character which show him in two poses: one holding a crowbar, and the other holding the Gravity gun. Due to the 3D model\u2019s availability to be printed in two different poses, holding two different weapons, the 3D designers created 4 separate STL files.<\/p>\n

The files for Gordon Freeman 3D model have been released on Gambody marketplace in middle spring and are popular among 3D printing enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Recently, Gambody has 3D printed the STL files representing Gordon Freeman holding his Gravity Gun. The 3D model is printed in gray PLA printing material<\/a>, at 0.1mm layer height. Support was used for overhangs.<\/p>\n

The post processing required removal of support material and smooth sanding of the outer shell, to level the layer pattern on the model.<\/p>\n

As you already now, Gambody has launched an online workshop, where it features the printing and painting process of the 3D models that are interesting for its audience. Gordon Freeman 3D model is not an exception.<\/p>\n

The painting ritual began just like for any other already painted 3D figurine \u2013 with the application of 4 coats of white primer. The model was left to dry for several hours, before starting the main painting process.<\/p>\n

The color palette of the in-game character was preserved and our Gordon Freeman 3D model was soon seen channeling his hazard suit and his usual looks.<\/p>\n
