Terminator HK-Aerial 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Active

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

One can't help but admit that SkyNet, the bizarre artificially intelligent computer system from the future, gave birth to some of the most impressive machines that became legends in cinema history. This includes not only humanoid Terminators, the breakthrough combination of living tissue and a hyperalloy endoskeleton, but also the devastating Hunter-Killer robots designed for combat.

The airborne Hunter-Killer machine was the one that inspired our contributing 3D artist in particular. Striving to make the futuristic machine 3D printable, he designed the most authentic and highly detailed HK-Aerial model possible. The Flying HK is ready to pledge allegiance to your diorama of Terminator 3D prints starting now!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Terminator HK-Aerial for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 38 hours in total. For you to receive the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of filament needed for generated support, the HK-Aerial model was divided into many assembly parts. The model was equipped with articulation mechanisms and tunnels for LED wiring that will make your display interesting and interactive.

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 format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the HK-Aerial model.

The figurine 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 approximate size of the HK-Aerial. The 3D printing model's chosen scales are 1/32 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/64 for the DLP/SLA version.
