Rick 3D Printing Figurine | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINERick Sanchez, the co-eponymous protagonist of ”Rick and Morty” animated series, happens to be an embodiment of a totally irresponsible and crazy yet ingenious scientist. Constantly dragging his grandson Morty into interdimensional and universal adventures, he lets us dive into the world of heavy science fiction. From episode to episode he demonstrates that any form of life has no meaningful value and any crime may be committed for the sake of a scientific breakthrough, or simply fun. As the fans of the sci-fi sitcom might have already guessed, the author of Rick figurine for 3D printing was particularly inspired by "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind" episode of the show, the one to feature "Evil Rick Sanchez" for the first time. The 3D printing figurine is depicted as if Rick has just popped out of the portal. But here’s a trick - the existence of the character’s evil counterparts resulted in 3D artist’s decision to prepare two variants of the scientist and it is up to you to decide which one to recreate! The “kind” variant of the inventor’s face can be replaced with the battle damaged one with the scar going across the lips. What is more, your 3D printed Rick can be showcased holding either Portal Gun or tranquillizer. The author of the model spent 95 hours to reveal the remarkably talented inventor for 3D printing. Rick knows how to escape any planet or unfavourable dimension but at the same time, his lousy nature doesn’t seize to expose himself and his family into the possibility of potential death. His grandson Morty, who completes the 3D printing diorama is the obvious case! ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTINGRick figurine for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 26 hours in total. The model’s cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the model’s Eco version. Moreover, in order to conceal the places where assembly parts of the model must be connected, the figurine was cut along the contour of Rick’s clothes’ seams and the lab coat was “taken off” the figurine to ensure nice printing result. Such small elements as Rick’s interchangeable Portal Gun and tranquillizer, boots, spiky hair, hands etc. are provided as separate parts for you to receive the cleanest result possible. All assembly parts come in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate.The figurine 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 Rick's actual height that is 1940 mm. The 3D printing figurine's chosen scale is 1/8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.VERSIONS' SPECIFICATIONSFFF/FDM 1.0 version features:- Contains 23 parts;- A printed model is 280 mm tall, 234 mm wide, 180 mm deep;- Assembly kit includes lock 23_ge_lock_10H(x11) to connect parts securely without glue that needs to be printed 11 times;- Comes with a platform to resemble the interdimensional Portal and complete the diorama with Morty;- Made with two variants of face and arms to make your Rick either kind or evil;- All parts are divided in such a way that you will print them with the smallest number of support structures.DLP/SLA 1.0 version features:- Contains 10 parts;- A printed model is 140 mm tall, 117 mm wide, 90 mm deep;- Comes with a platform to resemble the interdimensional Portal and complete the diorama with Morty;- Made with two variants of head and arms to make your Rick either kind or evil;- All parts are divided in such a way to fit the build plates and to ensure that support structures are generated where needed.DLP/SLA Eco 1.0 version features:- Contains 10 parts;- A printed model is 140 mm tall, 117 mm wide, 90 mm deep;- Comes with a platform to resemble the interdimensional Portal and complete the diorama with Morty;- Made with two variants of head and arms to make your Rick either kind or evil;- Contains some hollowed out parts to save resin.SLS 1.0 version features:- Made as a solid one-piece figurine;- A printed model is 140 mm tall, 117 mm wide, 90 mm deep;- Contains 4 parts - one-piece evil and kind Rick figurines and the portal separated from the platform.WHAT WILL YOU GET AFTER PURCHASE?- STL files of Rick​ 3D Figurine for 3D printing which consist of 47 parts;- 4 versions of files for this model for FFF/FDM, DLP/SLA, DLP/SLA Eco and SLS;- High-poly detailed figurine of Rick​;- 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 figurine of Rick​ for 3D Printing immediately after the purchase!

The parameters can vary depending on the peculiarities of your 3D printer, the material you use and especially the particular assembly part at hand. Each part that any model comprises often needs preliminary review and you are free to tweak the settings the way you find suitable.Note:- You can scale up the model (downscaling is not recommended!);- All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill;- For all parts of locks (“ge_lock” in “Source files”) you need to change "Brim" type to "Skirt" in Build Plate Adhesion section.QualityLayer Height: 0.12 mm (you can also set Layer Height at 0.16 or 0.2mm for 0.4mm nozzles)Initial Layer Height: 0.2 mm (carefully level the print bed and keep your Initial Layer Height the same as the main Layer Height)Line Width: 0.4 mmWall Line Width: 0.4 mmOuter Wall Line Width: 0.4 mmInner Wall(s) Line Width: 0.4 mmTop/Bottom Line Width: 0.4 mmInfill Line Width: 0.4 mmSkirt/Brim Line Width: 0.4 mmSupport Line Width: 0.4 mmInitial Layer Line Width: 100%Shell Wall Thickness: 0.8 mmWall Line Count: 2Outer Wall Wipe Distance: 0.3 mmTop Surface Skin Layers: 0Top/Bottom Thickness: 0.6 mmTop Thickness: 0.6 mmTop Layers: 5Bottom Thickness: 0.6 mmBottom Layers: 5Initial Bottom Layers: 5Top/Bottom Pattern: LinesBottom Pattern Initial Layer: LinesTop/Bottom Line Directions: [ ]Outer Wall Inset: 0 mmOptimize Wall Printing Order: CheckCompensate Wall Overlaps: CheckCompensate Inner Wall Overlaps: CheckMinimum Wall Flow: 0%Fill Gaps Between Walls: EverywhereFilter Out Tiny Gaps: CheckHorizontal Expansion: 0 mmInitial Layer Horizontal Expansion: 0 mmHole horizontal expansion: 0Z Seam Alignment: User SpecifiedZ Seam Position: BackZ Seam X: Average length of your printer’s plate (e.g.”150” if your plate is 300mm on the X-axis)Z Seam Y: A value higher than the length of your plate on the Y-axis (e.g. 700)Seam Corner Preference: Hide SeamExtra Skin Wall Count: 1Skin Overlap Percentage: 10%Skin Overlap 0.04 mmInfill Infill Density: 20% (for all smaller parts and for all parts of connectors use 100% Infill)Infill Pattern: TrianglesConnect Infill Lines: CheckInfill Line Directions: [ ]Infill X Offset: 0 mmInfill Y Offset: 0 mmInfill Line Multiplier: 1Extra Infill Wall Count: 0Infill Overlap Percentage: 10-20%Infill Overlap: 0.04 mmSkin Overlap Percentage: 5%Skin Overlap: 0.02 mmInfill Wipe Distance: 0 mmInfill Layer Thickness: 0.24 mmGradual Infill Steps: 0Infill Before Walls: CheckMinimum Infill Area: 0 mm2Skin Removal Width: 0.8 mmTop Skin Removal Width: 0.8 mmBottom Skin Removal Width: 0.8 mmSkin Expand Distance: 0.8Top Skin Expand Distance: 0.8Bottom Skin Expand Distance: 0.8Maximum Skin Angle for Expansion: 90˚Minimum Skin Width for Expansion: 0.0Skin Edge Support Thickness: 0Skin Edge Support Layers: 0Material Initial Layer Flow: 100%Printing Temperature: See your filament settingsInitial Printing Temperature: Your filament settingsFinal Printing Temperature: Your filament settingsBuild Plate Temperature: Your filament settingsBuild Plate Temperature Initial Layer: Your filament settings + 5°Flow: 100% (Important!
