MWO Timber Wolf 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Action

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Timber Wolf 3D model, or MadCat 3D model as it is known by gamers, is a fast and heavy bipedal vehicle engaged in the battles that take place in the BattleTech Universe of the popular video game. This machine has more aggressive looks than the Catapult 3D model. Its design is a cross-over between the Marauder and the Catapult model designs, thus its name MadCat.

The in-game model is a powerful weapon in combats: it can shoot close and far-range fire; equipped with powerful weaponry and heavy armor, it is inconceivable how this seventy five tons mech could move swiftly on the battlefield and take part in most assaults. Just as with Catapult 3D printing gaming figurine, in-game MadCat can be customized with additional weaponry, as soon as the players level up.

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

The Timber Wolf 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 mech was divided into convenient assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 3.0 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 3.0 and DLP/SLA 2.0 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 Timber Wolf 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 mech. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:60 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:100 for the DLP/SLA version.
