ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
C1-10P astromech droid, also known as Chopper or simply Chop, is one of the members of the Spectres, a loyal friend and a true rebel who helped the Ghost to resist the Galactic Empire. Chopper has no mercy for his enemies, he doesn’t let down his friends and is always ready to tease them. If you happen to be in the Star Destroyer with Chop, try to keep him close, this brawler will definitely start looking for a way to blow up the spaceship as soon as possible.
Inspired by the argumentative, cantankerous, and mischievous character of Chopper, oud contributing 3D artists created this amazing model for 3D printing. C1-10P has great mechanical skills, the astromech droid is equipped with three grasping arms. Different from R2-D2, Chopper had a retractable wheel instead of a retractable leg. Another exclusive feature of Chop is a rocket booster that allows him to fly for short distances; the model features both a retractable wheel and a rocket engine nozzle, so you can choose the design you like. Chopper has a range of articulated parts, such as a rotating head, movable legs and feet, a retractable camera, and grasping hands. Don’t wait and start printing your favorite droid today!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
The Chopper model for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 93 hours in total.
For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, and make use of the active elements designed by Gambody Engineers, the astromech droid was divided into convenient assembly parts.
All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 1.0 version 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 FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF and video formats. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and “Assembly Manual” before getting down to the Chopper 3D printing 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 model’s scale was calculated from the height of Chopper which is 990 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:4 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:8 for the DLP/SLA version.
