ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
P-5000 Powered Work Loader, simply known as the Power Loader is an industrial mechanised exoskeleton that was utilised by fearless Ellen Ripley in the course of her desperate combat with the Xenomorph Queen. Surprisingly flexible and capable of lifting and handling heavy cargo, this power frame is equipped with hydraulic "claws" that easily manipulate and rotate loads of all kinds and shapes. In the course of the second in franchise 1986 Aliensmovie, warrant officer Ripley proved that the cargo (or opponent, for that matter) doesn’t necessarily need to be inanimate for the Loader to fend it off with ease. The author of the Power Loader for 3D printing spent 178 hours working on the model for your 3D printed Ellen Ripley figurine to have a reliable and extremely detailed exoskeleton to fight in. The iconic scene of brave Ripley conquering the extraterrestrial Xenomorph Queen aboard USS Sulaco ship leaves no sci-fi admirer indifferent and the 3D artist made sure you receive a Power Loader with the finest elements taken care of. Rotating warning light, huge claws, bulky limbs and massive cage with safety belts provided - your 3D printed Loader will only lack a pilot though can be easily displayed separately. We are pretty sure that anyone who watched the Aliens film especially back in the 80s dreamt of having their very own Power Loader. Thanks to the 3D printing technology, it is now made available to everyone - STL files for 3D printing are just a click away!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Power Loader 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 66 hours in total. In order to ensure multidirectional movement of the exoskeleton, it was divided into many assembly parts and special mechanisms were introduced into all model’s joints to give you an opportunity to display the loader in a variety of positions, i.e. its elbows, wrists, knees, feet etc. are movable and the "claws" are rotatable and can even clench to hold objects (or xenomorphs, for that matter). The Loader’s cage can be opened for you to place there Ellen Ripley figurine that can be secured with the safety belts that also come as separate assembly pieces. For you to introduce wires that connect the Loader’s arms to the body we recommend that you use 2.85mm flexible filament or even simple 2.85/1.75mm PLA plastic and insert its pieces into designated holes that are designed to securely fit either diameter. All assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out so 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. 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. We highly recommend that you watch "Assembly video" in the photo preview section before assembling the Loader.
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 the Power Loader that is 2520 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.

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

Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise
Enable this parameter if your model requires supports
We also recommend placing and removing supports manually in some places using special button
1-2 loops for more thick support
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

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
Increase this parameter if the supports are hard to remove from walls
Use tree supports to support complex objects, such as characters.

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.
