ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
The large Enforcement Droid of 209 Series, better known as ED-209, was a large robot programmed for law enforcement that starred in the iconic 1987 RoboCop film. There were only a few scenes featuring the armoured ED-209 in the movie but that turned out to be enough for the malfunctioning Droid to acquire the iconic status and take its firm stand in VFX film history. Immediately after the release of the ED-209 model from the 2014 RoboCop remake our team was overwhelmed with the franchise fans’ requests who were eager to see the original and well-loved Enforcement Droid. Thankfully, the author of the first peacekeeping machine for 3D printing was delighted with general enthusiasm so wasted no time and got down to the project at once. It took the 3D artist circa 145 hours for all RoboCop fans to get the very original menacing Droid for 3D printing. ED-209 model is made with patrol robot’s signature radar-like head, “metal” grating around the front of the head and a grill mouth. As expected, the bossy street fighter for 3D printing is depicted with large machine guns for arms that are equipped with two left 20 mm cannons, right 20 mm cannon and heat-seeking missile launcher. The machine-gun wielding ED-209 for 3D printing looks absolutely ready to wreak havoc while engaged in its ”urban pacification” duty! Order the STL files of the classic villainous Droid and 3D print your own coolest movie robot of all time!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
ED-209 (1987) 3D printing model is an action assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 46 hours in total. In order to ensure the droid’s multidirectional movement, the model was divided into many assembly parts and special mechanisms were introduced into all model’s joints to give you an opportunity to display ED-209 in a variety of positions, i.e. robot’s body, hips, front and rear toes etc. are movable and knee joints slide up to make the robot taller. With the same purpose, the robot’s gun pods can make a full rotation. To allow the multidirectional movement and rotation of the droid model, the ball-and-socket joints were introduced. For the articulated robot to stand firm in any position you may choose, the feet and hip joints are provided with locking mechanism. The joints that ensure the robot’s movability are provided as separate files as well for you to be able to print them again if the joints' friction happens to lose rigidity. 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. Model’s assembly 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/SLS 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 ED-209's actual height that is 2400 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/8 for FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for DLP/SLA/SLS version.
VERSIONS' SPECIFICATIONS
