HISTORY OF THE THUNDERBOLTThe Thunderbolt started production in 2491 as a planetary-assault mech, and in fact was one of the heaviest mechs produced at that time. Since then the mech, also known as T-Bolt, may have had its classification changed, as larger mechs were built, but thanks to periodic updates it is still feared and respected by many. With its varied arsenal, the Thunderbolt remains one of the best-armed mechs, making it capable of serving in many capacities. It is also an incredibly well-armored mech, rivaling or exceeding the amount of armor carried by some assault mechs. The biggest downside to the Thunderbolt though is poor heat management.Technical specificationsThe basis for the creation was a configuration TDR-5S.ABOUT THIS 3D MODELThe model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. FDM version features:- Contain 28 parts;- Made with Joints and Claws. One part of Joint (8_Axis_2_A_Joint_(x4)) you need to print 4 times. One part of Joint (19_Axis_1_A_Joint_(x2)) you need to print twice. One part of Claw (9_A_Claw_(x6)) you need to print 6 times.- Made with Locks. One part of Lock (3_Ge_lock_10H_(x12)) you need to print 12 times.- All limbs are movable as in the game: legs, weapons and torso rotating 360 °- All parts are divided in such way that you will print them with the smallest amount of supports.DLP/SLA/SLS version features:- Same as FDM but smaller, also made as 16 parts;All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.Note: Before starting 3D printing the model, read the Printing Details for CURA 3.4.1. or Simplify3D Software.There are 28 parts for FFF/FDM version, 16 parts for DLP/SLA/SLS.Scale: MWO Thunderbolt height is 14500 mm. The scale of this model made 1/60 for FFF/FDM version and 1/100 for DLP/SLA/SLS version.FFF/FDM version dimensions:After being printed will stand - 241 mm tall, 186 mm wide, 132 mm deep - with weapon;SLA/DLP/​SLS version dimensions:After being printed will stand - 145 mm tall, 112 mm wide, 79 mm deep - with weapon;- Has a few details, to keep printing costs down.WHAT WILL YOU GET AFTER PURCHASE?- STL files of MWO Thunderbolt​ 3D Model for 3D printing which consist of 44 parts;- 2 versions of files for this model for FFF/FDM, DLP/SLA/SLS;- High-poly detailed model of MWO Thunderbolt​;- Detailed settings that we provide for Cura 3.4.1. and Simplify3D for the best print;- Full technical support from the Gambody Support Team.You can get Model of MWO Thunderbolt​ for 3D Printing right now!
