T3-M4 Astromech Droid Articulating- KOTOR
Print Profile(4)




Description
Here it is! the Long awaited T3-M4 Astromech Droid! One of the companions in the classic Start Wars video game: Knights of the old republic!
This is a non-electronic version of the T3-M4 Droid, but every joint articulates! You can place him in any number of ways!
It is currently scaled to 38 % of the actual size to fit on the build plates of a Bambulab. You CAN scale down to 20% for a great little desktop size (as pictured), or download the STL files and print full size- I won't be cutting them up for printing in actual size until I add mechanics for servos- so unless you have a large printer, So stay tuned for that one!
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!:
- This model is made with EXACT tolerances. You MAY (WILL) have to do some sanding to make the wheels spin, or joints to smoothly articulate. However it goes together really quickly and nicely. Don't sand too much on the joints, or they won't hold in place with friction.
- Also note- You can rearrange the print and change your own settings of course, But he prints fine with the ones built in this file.
