Description
Loader Bot from Tales from the Borderlands / a Gun Loader from Borderlands 2. Ive modelled this up from scratch on Fusion 360 using the game as a reference, so ive been able to optimise all the parts for 3d printing and break everything everything down into seperate components. All the joints in the arms and legs work and are movable, so can be set in whatever position you like.
Printer Brand:
Prusa
Printer:
i3 MK3
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.15 and 0.10
Infill:
20
Filament: Prusa PLA White
Notes:
I would recommend splitting some of the parts in your slicer program then gluing the parts together after as this will make them easier to print with few supports and better quality.
Post printing i first glued together any parts which I had split in the slicer for easier printing, after this the model was sanded quite extensively to get the finish as smooth as possible. The model was then primed and the lightly sanded, after this the model was painted using an airbrush. I then painted on any small details by hand and assembled the model before adding a few final touches like weathering and adding the pipes/cables at the back.
Its worth checking all the parts fit together correctly before painting, especially for the joints and moveable parts as these may require some slight filing/sanding to get a good fit. For the pivots in the arms I used some 1.75mm filament.
