The Robot B-9 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Action

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Identify yourself!

Robot model B9, designed and computerized as a mechanized electronic aid for Earth voyagers engaged in astral expeditions.

The B9 Environmental Control Robot is known and loved by all Lost in Space science fiction series fans. The machine possesses superhuman strength and innovative weaponry, but what makes B-9 so special is his ability to display human characteristics, such as laughter, sadness, and mockery. The Robot assisted the Robinson family in their exploration of the Earth-like planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri and was in charge of protecting the youngest member of the crew, Will Robinson. Charismatic, witty, and artistic, The Robot is not afraid to show his character or act funny in the company of his friends.

Inspired by one of the most popular characters from the iconic Lost in Space TV series our contributing 3D artist created this outstanding model for 3D printing. The robot has a classical design, it consists of a glass bubble dome, fluted ring collar, cylindrical trunk section with extendable arms, and legs connected to the trapezoidal continuous track units. The model has a range of active elements and alternative parts for you to ease the assembly and provide wide options for exhibiting. Authentic and highly detailed, the Robot Model B-9 for 3D printing is a must for all robot lovers!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

The Robot Model B-9 for 3D printing is an active assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 96 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 The Robot Model B-9 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 Robot B-9 that is 1950 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scales are 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA version.
