ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
The VF-1 Valkyrie or Veritech Fighter 1 is a fighter-transformer that was designed on the basis of alien technologies. A huge meteorite landed on Earth into Macross Island in the South Pacific which turned out to be the SDF-1 alien spaceship. In order to get ready for the time its extraterrestrial owners arrive, the earth dwellers studied the spacecraft and got down to its reconstruction. And those willing to get hold of the ship did make their appearance, though they were not the owners but their oldest and bitterest enemies. The spaceship’s main cannon automatically activated upon their arrival and thus the First Robotech War began. Being a huge fan of the Robotech sci-fi franchise, the author of the VF robot for 3D printing spent many hours for the variable fighter model to be as true to life as possible! His initial VF-1 Valkyrie 3D printing model was later joined by the enhanced Super Veritech version, for all the anime series’ enthusiasts to have an opportunity to obtain the fully armoured mecha. Both the original and Super Veritech variants of the model can easily transform between its Battroid, Gerwalk and Fighter modes which clearly makes the 3D printing robot a dream come true for any diehard Robotech fan!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING (FFF/FDM 2.0)
VF-1 "Super Veritech" Valkyrie model for 3D printing is a highly articulated assembly model and its moderation took Gambody team 30 hours in total. In order to ensure the articulation and transformation of the Super Veritech robot (updated 2.0 version of the model) between its modes, it was divided into many assembly parts. For you to easily switch between the three modes of the armoured fighter, all VF-1 "Super Veritech" Valkyrie joints were equipped with articulated interlocking mechanisms. What is more, when preparing the model's update its level of detail and accuracy were significantly enhanced. All the assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of 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 can be assembled without glue or screws but you will need 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. Make sure to watch "Assembly video" in the photo preview section before assembling the 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 VF-1 Valkyrie's actual height that is 12680 mm in Battroid mode. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/45 for the FFF/FDM 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:
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.
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.

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.
