AT-M6 Walker 3D Printing Model | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

The massive and extremely intimidating walker AT-M6 instilled sheer terror into enemies of First Order in the course of Star Wars: The Last Jedi film. The All Terrain MegaCaliber Six was manufactured in the years following the end of the Galactic Civil War by Kuat-Entralla Drive Yards, the company that produced AT-M6’s predecessor AT-AT. At 40.87 meter long the Gorilla walker is actually almost twice the length of an AT-AT! It is also known to be coated in some of the most advanced armour in the Galaxy manufactured at secret facilities. And the reason why this walker had to be so large and powerful was both to hold that MegaCaliber Six turbolaser cannon and to make the heavy assault walker even more fearsome. The author of this huge 3D printing project spent 160 hours to create the model inspired by the AT-M6's most notable deployment during the Battle of Crait. The level of detail and attention to the functionality of the assembly parts will definitely impress you. Due to the model’s movability, one can even recreate the knuckle-dragging movement of AT-M6’s distinctive gorilla-like front feet! We are sure that any Star Wars fan will be delighted to enlarge the 3D printed collection with the walker that can do more damage than the orbital bombardment.

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

AT-M6 Walker model for 3D printing is an articulated assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 80 hours in total. For you to receive the cleanest printing result possible and to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support the First Order walker model was divided into many assembly parts, e.g. chin-mounted heavy laser cannons, anti-ship laser canons, flexible armoured tunnel, the turbolaser fuel cells and the leg joints are provided as separate STL files. The connecting elements of AT-M6’s hip and knee joints were developed to ensure the legs’ articulation. Moreover, the ‘ankle drive motors’ of the rear legs were designed in such a way to ensure the footpad’s multidirectional movement. Both anti-ship laser cannons and the cockpit’s lid are movable as well. The glass cover of the cockpit is also provided as three separate files for you to print it using transparent filament. There can also be found special tunnels leading into the cockpit and MegaCaliber Six turbolaser cannon that were designed by our team for you to easily introduce LED wiring. All the assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out so 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. 

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 AT-M6 Walker's actual length that is 40870 mm. The 3D printing model's chosen scale is 1/68 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/136 for the DLP/SLA version.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Simplify3D, Slic3r and PrusaSlicer software.

Disclaimer: The following printing settings are a recommendation, not an obligation. The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use, and especially the particular assembly part you are working with. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review, and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.

Note:

You can scale up the model (downscaling for FFF/FDM 3D printers is not recommended!);

All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
