The Six Foot 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Action

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The Six Foot is a powerful six-wheel monster truck that belongs to Dementus, the leader of the Biker Horde and the main antagonist in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The iconic Mack DM-8 outfitted with a big-block Chevy 454 engine and equipped with a range of weaponry and cargo devices is an impressive spectaсle. Like the rest of the vehicles of the franchise, the truck has an atypical multi-component build that results in its exceptional distinctive design. Powerful, fast, and intimidating, The Six Foot is an expression of despair and rage of its owner and is definitely his favorite machine.

The Six Foot modeled by our contributing 3D artist is a very special 3D printing model that you definitely should pay attention to. An absolutely original and professional design of the monster truck is seen in every detail of the model: the author carefully recreated the shape of the cab and body, the proportions of the wheels to the body are maintained as in the original truck appearance, the design of vehicle accessories is precise and there is a great variety of decorative elements. The articulation of the model featuring rotating wheels and steering wheel, opening doors, active suspension, and rotating crane drum is what makes The Six Foot truly authentic and highly exciting to print, assemble, and paint. This monster truck has a lot to strike your imagination so don't wait to broaden your Mad Max collection!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

The Six Foot model for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 138 hours in total.

For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible, minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, and make use of the active elements designed by Gambody Engineers, the monster truck was divided into convenient 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 and video formats. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and “Assembly Manual” before getting down to The Six Foot 3D printing 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 length of the Six Foot. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:16 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:32 for the DLP/SLA version.
