Hyperion M-03 3D Printing Model | Assembly + Action

ABOUT THIS 3D MODELGiant humanoid mobile robots, also known as “mechas”, owe their origins to Japanese anime and manga that spawned an infinite universe of powerful machines deployed to defend Earth from all kinds of threats. Our talented contributing 3D artist came up with his own version of such mecha, having designed Hyperion M-03 - the original modular robot for 3D printing. The author of the model mentioned that the design of his mecha was chiefly inspired by the legendary Japanese Gundam series and the Gunpla kits ("Gundam plastic model" kits) that have been incredibly popular among robot anime fans and model kits enthusiasts since the 1980s. Hyperion M-03 is a skilfully engineered transformable robot that primarily consists of three vehicles - two aircraft and an assault tank. The two aircraft modules significantly differ in size and when joined together form a considerably bigger Super Aircraft. The Assault Tank part is designed with multi-section caterpillar tracks that are fully articulated and ensure the forward movement of the module. While each of the robot’s mods is pretty fascinating and functional alone, here comes the coolest part - thanks to the articulated interlocking mechanisms introduced by the author of the model you can combine all three vehicles to create the awesome humanoid Hyperion M-03! The whole project took the 3D artist circa 200 hours to fulfill and now any Gunpla or Transformers enthusiast has an incredible opportunity to 3D print, assemble and transform one’s very own humanoid mecha! ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTINGHyperion M-03 model for 3D printing is a highly articulated assembly model and its moderation took Gambody team 35 hours in total. In order to ensure the articulation and transformation of the modular robot between its modules, Hyperion M-03 was divided into many assembly parts. For you to switch both assembled Aircraft and Assault Tank modules between Super Aircraft and Hyperion M-03 all model’s joints were designed to presuppose the introduction of articulated interlocking mechanisms. All the assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. The mecha can be assembled without glue or screws but you will need additional “pins” to secure the parts. These pins do not come in STL files but can be made out of short pieces of regular 1.75 PLA (watch the "Assembly video" to see the pins coloured red). Make sure to watch "Assembly video" in the photo preview section till the end where you can also see the modules transform into Super Aircraft and Hyperion M-03. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 1.0 version in PDF format.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.VERSION SPECIFICATIONSFFF/FDM 1.0 version features:- Contains 73 parts that comprise 3 modules of the mecha;- When printed First Aircraft (MOD 1) stands 44 mm tall, 120 mm wide, 111 mm deep;- Second Aircraft (MOD 2) is 43 mm tall, 187 mm wide, 165 mm deep;- Assault Tank (MOD 3) is 90 mm tall, 81 mm wide, 156 mm deep;- Assembled First and Second Aircraft (MOD 1 + MOD 2) form Super Aircraft that is 72 mm tall, 184 mm wide, 165 mm deep;- All three vehicles combined (MOD 1 + MOD 2 + MOD 3) form Hyperion M-03 that stands 227 mm tall, 129 mm wide, 86 mm deep;- Each robot’s joint is articulated and all assembly parts are interlocking which allows the model's transformation;- We recommend that you watch the "Assembly video" till the end to see the modules transform into Super Aircraft and Hyperion M-03;Important notes from the author of the model:- The assembly of the model requires additional “pins” that can be made out of short pieces of regular 1.75 PLA - watch the "Assembly video" to see the pins coloured red;- There are some assembly parts that need to be printed multiple times - the number of required copies (x2, x4 etc.) is indicated in the title of the file in "Source files", e.g. file "5_mod1_frame_3_x2" needs to be printed 2 times;- Parts "mod2_wing_L", "mod2_wing_R" and "mod3_hip_1" also come in alternative pre-supported variants (files 34, 35 and 47, "with support" in the title);- The titles of some assembly parts in "Source files" tab suggest that you print them using ABS, e.g. 18_mod2_elbow_x2_ABS;- The author of the model recommends that you print those parts in ABS that will provide proper friction, better resistance and ensure excellent articulation and durability;- Alternatively, you can stick to PLA (or PLA+) and apply a couple of coats of any nail polish to all movable parts (that have "ABS" in the title) in order to ensure needed friction. WHAT WILL YOU GET AFTER PURCHASE?- STL files of Hyperion M-03​​ Model for 3D printing which consist of 73 parts;- 1 version of files for this model for FFF/FDM;- High-poly detailed model of Hyperion M-03​​;- Assembly Manual for FFF/FDM 1.0 version in PDF format;- Detailed settings that we provide as a recommendation for Cura , Simplify3D and Slic3r for the best print;- Full technical support from the Gambody Support Team.You can get the model of Hyperion M-03​​​ for 3D Printing immediately after the purchase!
