Chernobyl Liquidator 3D Printing Figurine – Assembly
Chernobyl Liquidator 3D Printing Figurine – Assembly
This 3D Figurine consists of files in StereoLithography (.Stl) format that is optimized for 3D printing.
Chernobyl Liquidator 3D Printing Figurine comes in 4 versions for each 3D printer type (FFF/FDM, DLP/SLA and SLS).
ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINE
The Chernobyl nuclear disaster is deemed to be the world’s worst nuclear power plant accident. The explosion at the No. 4 nuclear reactor on April 26, 1986, released substantial amounts of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere making many villages of Ukraine and Belarus an exclusion zone for many years to come. “What is the cost of lies?” The 2019 television miniseries “Chernobyl” produced by HBO retold the terrifying 1986 disaster and achieved unprecedented success for a miniseries. The five-part story got the attention of large audiences in different parts of the world paying homage to heroes who gave their lives as a sacrifice during cleanup efforts.
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Chernobyl Liquidator figurine for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 56 hours in total. Figurine’s anatomy was thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the brave man to be depicted harmoniously in his overall coat and the intended pose. 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 figurine’s Eco version. For you to receive the cleanest result possible the pulveriser that Liquidator is holding was extracted from both hands and provided as a separate part, the strapped bag was “taken off” the figurine as well as a tank that the man is wearing on his back. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the model must be connected, the figurine was cut along the contour of its suit seams, the boots were “extracted” and all straps and belts separated. What is more, in order to ensure an excellent quality of the 3D printed result, such finer parts as Liquidator’s gas mask, filter, hood, bag, sprayer hose, pulveriser, radiation shield, tank, tractor toy etc. are provided as separate parts as well. All the 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. When downloading any figurine’s file you will also receive “Assembly Manual” for FFF/FDM 1.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF format.
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 the average height of a man that is 1780 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.
