Sqweeks Autobot 3D Print Model | Assembly

In anticipation of the new Transformers movie comes Sqweeks Autobot 3D model for printing. Inspired by the movie wheeled robot, the 3D model showcases the prototype's appearance and is adapted to be printed on any type of 3D printers.

If you prefer smaller robots to the huge ones, this cute, yet agile robot can become your next best buddy in the collection of your 3D prints. 

The robot in the movie has the ability to transform quickly from a small wheeled robot to a moped scooter. He has interchangeable rubber handlebar arms that can be switched with weapons.

The 3D printing model of Sqweeks Autobot showcases accurate outer shell and intricate details.

Sqweeks 3D model is created in Autodesk Maya and ZBrush. It is converted to STL files that are made solid. The files are also corrected for errors and are ready to be sent to print.

The 3D model is split into 8 separate parts to facilitate its printing and to cut down the use of support material. There's a detailed assembly instruction available. Click the video icon to watch it.

Note: When adding the weapon on the right arm, the Autobot might fall over. For this, there's a support base to ensure it stands upright.

The figurine will stand 16 cm tall when printed.
