C.H.I.E.F. - Fireman MakerTron

pinshape

Who is C.H.I.E.F.? When Remix of the MakerTron came to me for help, I was eager to create a design that he could be proud of. I worked closely with Remix throughout the redesign of this MakerTron. His only request was that I make a MakerTron that could assist those helping to save his species from extinction. During his visit to Earth, Remix had been learning about us. I noticed as I brainstormed that he seemed intrigued by our obsession with superheroes. This nearly swayed me to create BatMakerTron, SuperMakerTron, or HULK MakeSMASHTron! But then it became obvious what needed to happen. I told Remix about the real-life heroes we have on Earth. I told him about police officers, members of the armed services, and firefighters who risk their lives every day so that we can live in peace and comfort. Just as Remix risked his existence to save the last remaining C.O.R.E.s of his people, C.H.I.E.F will help to save humans and MakerTrons alike. The MakerTron before your eyes is more than just a friendly robot - it's a hero! C.H.I.E.F. is equipped with the jaws of life to cut away wreckage from burning vehicles and free people trapped inside. He has a fire-hose nozzle attached to his left arm, as well as a hefty metal frame that allows him to single-handedly replace an entire team of firefighters at the hydrant. The coil-over shocks in his legs enable him to jump from a five-story window with a person in his arms during a burning building rescue. He is equipped with ham radio, GPS, infrared sensors, thermal imaging array, and life detection sensor technology (a contribution from Remix). His large humanoid hands allow him to carefully cradle a human being while running through flames of disaster. All of his components are made from a heat-resistant nickel-based alloy clad with tungsten, lending his componentry a melting point of over 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit! This is the bionic hero you want by your side in the face of impending doom! It can be challenging to suggest print settings when unsure about the machine available. However, if I were printing C.H.I.E.F. at work (which is unfortunately forbidden), I would use the following settings: Layer Height: 0.1mm Shell Thickness: 0.8mm Bottom/Top Thickness: 0.8 Fill Density: 20% Print Speed: 50 mm/s This is for an Ultimaker 2 printer. I prefer to use PLA (we utilize Gizmo Dorks Filament) and a Nozzle temperature of 210 deg C. For this model, I would employ touching buildplate support type (the springs in the legs may need support everywhere). You might want to lower the lower arms into the buildplate a bit since they are spherical on the bottom. P.S. The core was not designed by me. It is from the MakerTron Design Contest. I downloaded the file and uploaded it with the model, so you don't have to search for it when printing.
