ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
BD-1, the loyal explorer droid from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, showed everyone that even a small companion can make a huge difference in the galaxy. Built to help with archaeology and equipped with a holoprojector, BD-1 accompanied Cal Kestis through old tombs and dangerous ruins. He quickly became a fan favorite with his chirps, scans, and loyal heart, charming audiences again in The Book of Boba Fett. Through his adventures, BD-1 has truly earned his spot among famous Star Wars droids, standing proudly alongside icons like R2-D2, BB-8, the reliable R5-D4, and even agile workers like the Pit Droid.
Adapted for flawless 3D printing, this BD-1 model features part cutting optimized for multicolor printing and authentic, screen-accurate details. This 3D print model includes canonical details like ear antennas and internal head components, and a subtle cooling unit. It also features articulated leg joints for improved poseability and a retractable battery compartment with easy access under the head cover for optional LED integration. With a sleek display platform, this BD-1 3D print has everything you need for a standout piece in your collection!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
BD-1 Droid 3D printing design is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 52 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 BD-1 Droid model was divided into many assembly parts. The model was made fully articulated and equipped with unique active joints that will make your droid companion come alive.
All assembly parts in the 1.0 FFF/FDM and 1.1 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. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for 1.1 FFF/FDM and 1.1 DLP/SLA versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the "Assembly video" and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the BD-01 model.
The 3D printing design 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 approximate height of the droid which is 450 mm. The 3D printing design's chosen scales are 1:1 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:2 for the DLP/SLA version.

Community Support Team This type of fitting issue can occur if the model was printed in a scale or version that differs from the recommended one — for example, using the DLP/SLA version on an FDM printer. Each version on the model page is prepared in its own optimized scale, with cuts and tolerances tailored specifically for the intended printing technology. Using the resin-optimized version on a filament printer or downscaling the model may lead to reduced detail, shrinkage, or loose joints. In such cases, we unfortunately cannot guarantee proper fit or stability.
For your current print, you may try placing a small piece of note paper inside the joint to tighten the connection and help balance the head more securely.

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

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.
