ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
Protectron is a widespread type of work drone with a programmable personality that appears in a number of Fallout video game installments. Designed by a highly influential computer and robotics corporation in the pre-War United States, RobCo Industries, it was created to serve humans as an inexpensive and efficient labor machine. Inspired by the versatile robot encountered in the grim post-apocalyptic world of the game, our contributing 3D artist reportedly spent 193 hours to recreate the fan favourite Protectron for your 3D printing collection. The model pays tribute to the robot’s minimalistic exterior design notable for the smooth rounded shapes of the drone’s thin alloyed shell and dome-like head. The bipedal droid is equipped with a pair of manipulators that help it fulfill its mundane duties or act as a tool of self-defense. 3D printing Protectron’s body is intricately textured, capturing the weathered state of the machine that functions even after the world has collapsed. Just like RobCo Industries, our 3D modeler offers you various modifications of the droid to serve your needs: Regular Protectron, Fire Brigadier, Police Protectron, Protectron Medic, and Utility Protectron. The modes can be switched with the help of role-specific heads with corresponding logos engraved on the faceplate, as well as with the help of designated arm variants. In addition to all of the awesome variations, Protectron model also comes with its maintenance and charging chamber that is known as Protectron Pod. The chamber is going to be a perfect platform to store your chosen 3D printed Protectron personality!
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Protectron model for 3D printing is a highly articulated assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 55 hours in total. In order to ensure the multidirectional movement of the robot, 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 Protectron in a variety of positions. In order for you to achieve the cleanest 3D printed result possible, Protectron’s interchangeable hands, heads,dome visors, visor bars, the rear engine, parts comprising the central processing unit, etc. are provided as separate assembly parts. The model’s rear engine and central processing unit can be mounted into all available variations of Protectron’s body and head. The Protectron Pod, as well as its base, are divided into several parts to fit the build plates of the average 3D printers. 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. We highly recommend that you watch "Assembly video" in the photo preview section before assembling the model and to see the directions and the way that the robot’s joints move in. 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 the average height of Protectron that is 1750 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/8 for FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for DLP/SLA/SLS version.

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. 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.
