ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
"Roger, roger."
B1 Battle Droid, also known as Standard Battle Droid or simply Clanker, is a crucial member of the Separatist/CIS army and a brilliant comic relief of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Designed to resemble their Geonosian creators, Battle Droids proved to be absolutely ineffective alone but could be deadly in large numbers. The humanoid robots are dim-witted, extremely fragile, and have little tactical intelligence but are very cheap to produce so the decision was reached to create millions of droid copies to overwhelm the enemy not in power but through sheer numbers. Our contributing 3D artist was taken by the idea of creating the backbone of the Confederate fighting force for 3D printing and spent 95 hours working on a B1 Battle Droid model. The Clanker for 3D printing has the unit’s trademark elongated face and a pair of specialized movement processors in the back of the head. The author of the model made sure to equip the Droid with the unit’s standardized E-5 blaster rifle and a backpack device that is known to be needed for power augmentation in order for the droids to operate in the field without recharge for a longer period of time. There is also a pair of long signal reception booster antennas extending from the backpack of a 3D printing robot that can be optionally displayed alone on the droid’s back. B1 Battle Droids might be the easily controlled mindless soldiers but some personality quirks revealed by “programming glitches” made the unit well-loved among Star Wars fans. 3D print your own Droid legion - the STL files are waiting for you to download!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
B1 Battle Droid model for 3D printing is a highly articulated assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 39 hours in total. In order to ensure the robot’s multidirectional movement, it was divided into many assembly parts and special mechanisms were introduced into all model’s joints to give you an opportunity to display B1 Battle Droid in a variety of positions, i.e. droid’s head, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger, hip, knee and ankle are movable and the droid’s pelvis is equipped with the ball-and-claw joint. For the articulated robot to stand firm in any position you may choose, most of the joints are provided with locking mechanisms. Droid’s back can be optionally displayed with antennas or backpack+antennas and the E-5 blaster rifle can be placed into Droid’s hands as you prefer by folding the fingers. All assembly parts 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 so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. The model’s assembly in FFF/FDM 1.0 version requires additional “pins” to secure the parts. These pins do not come in STL files but can be made out of short pieces of regular 1.75 PLA. We highly recommend that you watch "Assembly video" in the photo preview section before assembling the Droid. When 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.
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 B1 Battle Droid's actual height that is 1930 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

Below you'll find detailed slicing settings for Bambu Studio 2.0+, Orca Slicer 2.0+, UltiMaker Cura 5.0+, PrusaSlicer 2.0+, Slic3r 1.3+, Simplify3D 5.0+ to help you get the best results when printing this model. These settings are optimized specifically for this 3D model, but please note they may need slight adjustments depending on your printer or filament. When in doubt, refer to your printer's user manual.
To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
Bambu Studio 2.0+ 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

Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise
Enable this parameter if your model requires supports
We also recommend placing and removing supports manually in some places using special button
1-2 loops for more thick support
Top Z distance = 1-1.3 layer Height. If the supports are hard to remove, try increasing this setting by 0.1-0,4 mm
Bottom Z distance = 1-1.3 layer Height. If the supports are hard to remove, try increasing this setting by 0.1-0,4 mm

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.
The parameters in this tab vary greatly, it all depends on the quality of your printer. For example, if you have a classic Ender3, stick to the minimum parameters, but if you have a newer printer, for example Anycubic cobra 3 v3, you can select the maximum recommended values
Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.
Use this value other than 0 if your nozzle catches on the internal infill during travel moves. Try to keep this value as low as possible in height.
Use normal supports to support large, straight surfaces (most mechanical or technical parts).
You have to calibrate this parameter according to the capabilities of your printer and your filament, using a Gambody test models.
Use 1 instead of 0 if your supports are thin and tall. They will be harder to remove, but much stronger.
Top Z distance = 1-1.3 layer Height. If the supports are hard to remove, try increasing this setting by 0.1-0,4 mm
Increase this parameter if the supports are hard to remove from walls
Use tree supports to support complex objects, such as characters.

Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise. Use the minimum value for outdated printers without acceleration calibration, and the maximum value for modern printers if you need it.
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)
For better printing quality you have to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test model.
Check your filament manufacturer's temperature recommendations on the spool.
Cooling parameters depends on the material you use for printing.
