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.
VERSION SPECIFICATIONS
FFF/FDM 1.1 version features:
- Contains 71 parts;
- A printed model is 315 mm tall, 167 mm wide, 327 mm deep;
- Optimised cutting and fully reworked joints;
- Each loader's joint is articulated which allows the model's movability;
- Wires that connect the Loader’s arms to the body are not provided with STL files. 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;
- Rotating warning light on top of the Loader can be printed with fluorescent filament;
- Rings that are to be threaded on the cage are movable and can be placed as you prefer;
- Power Loader can be displayed with Ellen Ripley behind the controls;
- All parts are divided in such a way that you will print them with the smallest number of support structures.
DLP/SLA/SLS 1.1 version features:
- Contains 27 parts;
- A printed model is 158 mm tall, 84 mm wide, 164 mm deep;
- Optimised cutting and fully reworked joints;
- Power Loader is articulated thanks to the introduced movable connecting elements;
- This version comes with two variants of legs - to display the Loader solo and to showcase with Ellen Ripley behind the controls;
- Wires that connect the Loader’s arms to the body are not provided with STL files. We recommend that you use 1.75mm flexible filament or simple PLA plastic of the same diameter and insert its pieces into designated holes;
- All parts are divided in such a way to fit the build plates and to ensure that support structures are generated where needed.
FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA/SLS 1.0 versions’ features:
- Older versions with outdatedjoints;
- FFF/FDM 1.0 version contains 116 parts;
- DLP/SLA/SLS 1.0 version contains 34 parts;
- The rest of the features are the same.
