MWO Bushwacker 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Active

ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINE

If you are 3D printing an army of BattleMechs in your hobby workshop, then the MWO Bushwacker 3D Printing Model is a must for you! Bushwacker is a popular Inner Sphere mech that can be easily recognised by its low-slung and narrow upper torso - such a low profile build is a tough task to target for enemy units. Moreover, the mech's agility, speed and powerful long-range weaponry allow it to always be one step ahead and keep its vulnerable spots safe and sound.

For your enjoyment, our contributing 3D artist created the high-quality MWO Bushwacker 3D Printing Model. To make the display more interesting and interactive for a life-like battlefield scene, Gambody moderators equipped the model with lots of articulation points that will allow the 3D mech to manoeuvre easily. It is high time you crowned your team with the brilliant Bushwacker!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

MWO Bushwacker for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 27 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, and assemble the model with its intended articulation mechanisms, the mech was divided into many 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 format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the MWO Bushwacker 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 Bushwacker which is approximately 13500 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:60 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:100 for the DLP/SLA version.
