Summoner (Thor) BattleMech STL files for 3D Printing | Assembly Model + Action

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Check out the Summoner BattleMech 3D Printing Miniature. High speed, powerful weapon, canonic look - we know you’ll like it. 

Summoner Mech is heavy, though it can develop really high speed - up to 84.6 km per hour. That is possible because it's powered by a lightweight 350 XL engine. This OmniMech is widely used by Jade Falcon Clan. His unofficial name in the Inner Sphere is Thor, which he gained because of its simple but powerful arsenal. As a weapon, it uses LB 10-X Autocannon and LRM-15 launcher. 

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Summoner (Thor) BattleMech 3D Printing Model for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 30 hours in total. 

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the Summoner (Thor) BattleMech 3D Printing Model model was divided into many assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM versions 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. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” before getting down to the Summoner (Thor) BattleMech 3D Printing Model 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 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:60 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:100 for the DLP/SLA version.
