M-O WALL-E 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Action

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

M-O (Microbe Obliterator) cleaning robot from the animated feature film WALL-E is focused on cleaning and maintaining order. This little janitor, equipped with cleaning tools, is a persistent neat freak. It is difficult to follow M-O while he is rolling from side to side sweeping and cleaning up everything in its way. Dirty and rusty WALL-E shocks M-O and the cleaner does its best to make the robotic trash compactor neat and shining. M-O saves EVE and WALL-E from being thrown out into space and becomes a friend to this couple of robots.

The enthusiasm and diligence of M-O adore everyone who sees this beloved character. Inspired by one of the two tritagonists of the WALL-E science fiction romance film, our contributing 3D artist created this amazing figurine for 3D printing. The model has a range of articulated elements: the head of M-O has several display options, the arms of the robot stretch, and its shoulders move forward and backward. The cleaner robot features an alarm light that can be printed with a transparent filament, there is an option to introduce the lighting inside the model. M-O model will bring a lot of joy to all 3D printing fans, especially to those who love the story of a solitary robot and his new friends! 

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

The M-O WALL-E model for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 97 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 robot 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 M-O WALL-E 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 height of the M-O robot. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:4 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:8 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.
