ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
Daleks are ferocious representatives of the warrior race originating from planet Skaro and depicted in the British science fiction TV show Doctor Who. These seemingly robotic aliens are, in fact, cyborgs - highly intelligent genetically altered by the mad genius Davros mutants sealed within a nearly impregnable tank-like casing. Created to harbour no feelings except vehement hatred for all other living creatures and intent on purging all “inferior” beings, the Daleks provoke a state of terror across the universe. Inspired by the various Daleks’ designs throughout the years, our contributing 3D artist spent 148 hours on modelling the most recognizable villains in television history. Once you spot the model, the Dalek’s pepper pot resembling outer shell will instantly ring the bell. Just like its TV show counterpart, the Dalek 3D Printing model is divided into three major sections. The rotating dome-like head of the Dalek is equipped with a set of twin luminosity dischargers and a haunting periscope-like eyestalk. The grating section below connects the head with the weapons platform, where the Dalek’s threatening gunstick and manipulator arm are attached. Behind the secure metal plates of the weapon platform, a secret compartment designed to store the body of the mutant is located. The skirt-shaped bottom section of the cyborg serves as its main mean of mobility. The outer shell of it is fitted with partially embedded spherical protrusions that act as part of the Dalek’s sensory array. Such a sturdy base ensures the smooth gliding motion of the savage warrior and will help uphold the model on the shelf of your collection. Don’t miss your chance to 3D print Dalek and create a bizarre installation of space and time travel!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Dalek model for 3D printing is a highly articulated action assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 50 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 fictional cyborg model was divided into many assembly parts, e.g. its Blast Gun, telescopic Control Arm, “sense globes”, “light bulbs” etc. are provided as separate STL files. Various special mechanisms were introduced to ensure that the model has fully articulated elements in it (please, see “Versions’ Specifications”). 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 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/SLS 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Dalek 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 actual height of Dalek that is 1020 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/8 for FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for DLP/SLA/SLS version.

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

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.
