如果需要了解如何組裝的請參考影片中的組裝步驟，列印後有可能需要修整孔與軸之間的空隙，建議修整孔會比較輕鬆一點，最好是修整一點點就好，因為檔案我讓軸大一點點，這樣可以像是鉚合的方式連接在一起，且沒有螺絲頭。

這是大約8年半前，我在大四的時候某一門課的視覺主題看板所找到的圖片參考，當時找到了這個黑豹變形金剛，覺得很酷當時有依照圖片來建立了3D檔模擬，雖然細節不是做得很好，但還算能表現它的功能，當年運用了SolidWorks動畫技術製作了作品。

事隔多年後想起了這個作品，想運用3D列印技術把它製作出來看看，打開檔案後才發現檔案真是慘不忍睹，處處都是干涉且完全沒有考慮到組裝空隙，因此只好將物件重新修改過，這次總算是真正能做出來了，這將近9年的圓夢計畫讓我更體會到，建立3D的時候要跟製程做連結，這樣子3D檔才會更實用更容易被實現。

If you need to know how to assemble, please refer to the assembly steps in the video. It may be necessary to trim the gap between the hole and the shaft after printing. It is recommended that the trimming hole will be easier. The shaft is a little larger, so it can be connected together like a riveted way without a screw head.

This is about 8 and a half years ago, when I was in my senior year, I found a picture reference of a visual theme board in a course. I found this Black Panther Transformer at the time. I thought it was cool. At that time, I created a 3D file simulation based on the picture. Although the details are not very good, but it can still show its function. At that time, SolidWorks animation technology was used to make the work.

After many years of thinking about this work, I wanted to use 3D printing technology to make it look. After opening the file, I found that the file was really terrible. There was interference everywhere and no consideration of assembly gaps, so I had to revise the object. This time, I can finally make it. This dream plan for almost 9 years has made me more aware that when creating 3D, it is necessary to connect with the manufacturing process, so that the 3D file will be more practical and easier to be realized.
