ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
Marvin, the chronically depressed robot, is a central character in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Alongside his human companions, including Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and Trillian, Marvin embarks on a series of intergalactic misadventures. Together, they explore the cosmos, encountering bizarre phenomena, eccentric alien species, and navigating the complexities of the universe as they consult "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a whimsical electronic encyclopedia that offers quirky advice and humorous commentary on the galaxy's wonders and dangers.
This distinctive android boasts a sleek metal body, rotatable head, and articulated arms, all of which can be brought to life through 3D printing. Additionally, his eyes and mouth can be backlit, adding to his unique charm and personality.
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Marvin the Paranoid Android 1981 model for 3D printing is a active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 90 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 robot 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 Marvin the Paranoid Android 1981 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 the Marvin which is 18300 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:4 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:8 for the DLP/SLA version.
