MWO Shadow Hawk 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Action

HISTORY OF THE SHADOW HAWK

The Shadow Hawk is the achievement of robot engineering of the Golden Century, specifically built in 2550 as a multitask unit. Speed and impressive firepower are perfectly combined in its design. Its maneuverability and a combination of short-range and long-range weapons make it one of the best mechs of its class. Though the first version of the mech first appeared long before the 2550 release, a blunder in its armor rendered it unsuitable for battlefield. That defect was only corrected much later, and so historians mark 2550 as the real date of the design’s full-scale release. Manufacturing of the Shadow Hawk for the Star League, as well as the Great Houses continued until the manufacturer’s factory was destroyed. After that, Earthwerks was the only enterprise whose facilities kept producing these mechs within the Inner Sphere.

Technical specifications

The basis for the creation was a configuration SHD-2D.

Below you can find printing recommendations for Cura, Bambu Lab, 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.
