Kodiak Mech 3D model is inspired by the MechWarrior Online Universe’s Mech with the same name. The 3D model reproduces all the prototype’s looks and hides special surprises for those who are big fans of this bipedal vehicle.The in-game Mech is an assault vehicle, capable of developing a speed of up to 64.8km/h. Its armor provides seventeen tons of protection. The Mech model is also known for its impressive firepower, which very often causes overheat when the wide range of weapons are fired simultaneously. However, the claws that he has on his arms are for aesthetic purpose only.Kodiak 3D model features short-range weaponry, such as Series II Ultra AC/20 and Streak SRM-6s. There are also medium lasers and large lasers that are displayed above his hands and above the engine.You will see that Kodiak 3D model features this regular arsenal.This impressive bipedal vehicle’s STL files are produced in Autodesk Maya modeling software. The files are checked and corrected in Netfabb and are flawless.The model consists of 45 parts, all optimized to be printed on any type of 3D printer. You can handle easily the Kodiak 3D model STL files in any slicing program, such as CURA 15.06 or Simplify3D.Note: For those who use Simplify3D software, read these GUIDELINES prior to starting printing the 3D model.After being printed and assembled, the Mech Warrior Kodiak 3D model will stand 250mm tall, 214mm wide, and 147mm deep. The 3D model will feature rotating torso and workable hands and legs.Buy Kodiak 3D model STL files by clicking the green Buy button. Go to checkout and insert the PayPal or credit card details. Download a Mech Warrior 3D model that will complement your collection of Mechs.On 19.12.2016 the model files have been optimized and made solid. They now are adapted to be 3D printed using any slicing program. 3D model files are already available for purchase and download.________________________ Now, the MWO Kodiak 3D Model is available in two scale: 1/60 for Version 2 (FDM/FFF) and 1/100 for Version 3 (DLP/SLA/SLS).There are 23 parts in Version 2 (FDM/FFF) and 8 parts for Version 3 (DLP/SLA/SLS).Was added parts pf Locks and Connectors for better fixing. One part of Lock(14_Ge_lock_10H_x8) you need to print 8 times. One part of Connector(11_GE_Connector_B_C_x5) you need to print 5 times.Version 2 (FDM/FFF):- Is 1:60 scale and after being printed will stand 300 mm tall, 266 mm wide, 183 mm deep;- Made with new joints;- All movable elements of the Mech were saved.Version 3 (DLP/SLA/SLS):- Is 1:100 scale and will stand 180 mm tall, 160 mm wide, 110 mm deep;- Made with new joints;- All movable elements of the Mech were saved;- Has as few details as possible to keep printing costs down.With new joints from Version 2 and Version 3 you will get next advantages:1. Increases frictional force;2. Possible to up scale or down scale the whole model;3. Printable from any type of material;4. Higher strength;5. Material shrinkage does not affect at strength and friction.STL files with new scale and new joints are already available for download in “Source files” tab for:- Version 2 - STL files on FDM/FFF 3D printers;- Version 3 - STL files on DLP/SLA/SLS 3D printers.Watch the tutorial video on how to assemble Kodiak MWO 3D Printing Miniature at Gambody YouTube channel. ______________FAQ: Where can I print a model if I have no printer?How to get started with 3D printing?How to set up my 3D printer?How to choose right 3D model print bed positioning? How to paint printed figurine?This model was tested in Cura 3.2.1 and printed on an Ultimaker 2 in PLA material.Note:- You can print new joints from Version 2 and Version 3 with 20-30% infill.- With the new joints from Version 2 and Version 3 you can up scale or down scale the whole model.- Connectors should be printed at 100% infill.- For all parts of Locks you need to change "Brim" type to "Skirt" in Build Plate Adhesion section.To avoid printing problems, we recommend the following settings:QualityLayer Height: 0.1 mmInitial Layer Height: 0.3 mmLine Width: 0.4 mm Wall Line Width: 0.4 mm   Outer Wall Line Width: 0.4 mm   Inner Wall(s) Line Width: 0.4 mm Top/Bottom Line Width: 0.4 mm Infill Line Width: 0.4 mm Skirt/Brim Line Width: 0.4 mm Initial Layer Line Width: 100%Shell Wall Thickness: 0.8 mm    Wall Line Count: 2Outer Wall Wipe Distance: 0.2 mmTop Surface Skin Layers: 0Top/Bottom Thickness: 0.8 mm   Top Thickness: 0.8 mm       Top Layers: 8    Bottom Thickness: 0.8 mm      Bottom Layers: 8Top/Bottom Pattern: LinesBottom Pattern Initial Layer: LinesTop/Bottom Line Directions: [ ]Outer Wall Inset: 0 mmCompensate Wall Overlaps: Check    Compensate Outer Wall Overlaps: Check    Compensate Inner Wall Overlaps: CheckFill Gaps Between Walls: EverywhereFilter Out Tiny Gaps: CheckHorizontal Expansion: 0 mmInitial Layer Horizontal Expansion: 0 mmZ Seam Alignment: Sharpest CornerSeam Corner Preference: Hide SeamIgnore Small Z Gaps: CheckExtra Skin Wall Count: 1Infill Infill Density: 20%  (connectors should be printed at 100% infill)Infill Line Distance: 4.0 mmInfill Pattern: GridInfill Line Directions: [ ]Infill X Offset: 0 mmInfill Y Offset: 0 mmInfill Overlap Percentage: 10%    Infill Overlap: 0.04 mmSkin Overlap Percentage: 5%    Skin Overlap: 0.02 mmInfill Wipe Distance: 0.1 mmInfill Layer Thickness: 0.1 mmGradual Infill Steps: 0Infill Before Walls: CheckMinimum Infill Area: 0 mm2Skin Removal Width: 0.8 mm    Top Skin Removal Width: 0.8 mm    Bottom Skin Removal Width: 0.8 mmSkin Expand Distance: 0.8    Top Skin Expand Distance: 0.8    Bottom Skin Expand Distance: 0.8Maximum Skin Angle for Expansion: 90˚    Minimum Skin Width for Expansion: 0.0Material Enable Retraction: CheckRetraction Extra Prime Amount: 0 mm3 Retraction Minimum Travel: 0.8 mmMaximum Retraction Count: 90Minimum Extrusion Distance Window: 6.5 mmNozzle Switch Retraction Distance: 16 mmNozzle Switch Retraction Speed: 20 mm/s    Nozzle Switch Retract Speed: 20 mm/s    Nozzle Switch Prime Speed: 20 mm/s Speed Print Speed: 45 mm/s    Infill Speed: 50 mm/s    Wall Speed: 22.5 mm/s      Outer Wall Speed: 22.5 mm/s      Inner Wall Speed: 45 mm/s    Top/Bottom Speed: 15 mm/sTravel Speed: 120 mm/sInitial Layer Speed: 30 mm/s  Initial Layer Print Speed: 30 mm/s  Initial Layer Travel Speed: 60 mm/sSkirt/Brim Speed: 30 mm/sMaximum Z Speed: 0 mm/sNumber of Slower Layers: 2Travel Combing Mode: AllAvoid Printed Parts when Traveling: CheckTravel Avoid Distance: 0.625 mmLayer Start X: 0.0 mmLayer Start Y: 0.0 mmCooling Enable Print Cooling: CheckFan Speed: 100%    Regular Fan Speed: 100%    Maximum Fan Speed: 100% Regular/Maximum Fan Speed Threshold: 10 sInitial Fan Speed: 0%Regular Fan Speed at Height: 0.3 mm    Regular Fan Speed at Layer: 2 Minimum Layer Time: 5 sMinimum Speed: 10 mm/sSupport Generate Support: CheckSupport Placement: EverywhereSupport Overhang Angle: 60°Support Pattern: Zig ZagConnect Support ZigZags: CheckSupport Density: 15 %    Support Line Distance: 1.3333 mmSupport Z Distance: 0.3 mm    Support Top Distance: 0.3 mm    Support Bottom Distance: 0.3 mmSupport X/Y Distance: 0.7 mmSupport Distance Priority: Z overrides X/YMinimum Support X/Y Distance: 0.2 mmSupport Stair Step Height: 0.3 mmSupport Stair Step Maximum Width: 5.0 mmSupport Join Distance: 2.0 mmSupport Horizontal Expansion: 0.2 mmSupport Infill Layer Thickness: 0.1 mmUse Towers: CheckTower Diameter: 3.0 mmMinimum Diameter: 3.0 mmTower Roof Angle: 65° Build Plate Adhesion Build Plate Adhesion Type: Brim (for all parts of locks use "Skirt")Skirt/Brim Minimum Length: 250 mmBrim Width: 8.0 mm    Brim Line Count: 18 Brim Only on Outside: CheckMesh Fixes Union Overlapping Volumes: CheckMerged Meshes Overlap: 0.15 mmSpecial ModesPrint Sequence: All at OnceSurface Mode: NormalExperimentalSlicing Tolerance: MiddleMaximum Resolution: 0.01 mmFlow rate compensation max extrusion offset: 0 mmFlow rate compensation factor: 100%Disclaimer: This model will look outstanding if printed on SLA/SLS 3D printer.
