Thor is here
Description
Instructions
Acceleration firmware was used to print this, but standard firmware should work fine just keep the speed low.
print two of the BFG build plates, use the pin to connect them.
print one of each (the body, the left and right shoulder, and the legs and guns built plate)
note that the guns on the top have offset slots
assemble all the parts and you will have your very own Thor.

Been working on this for the last few days - printed it with 0.16 mm layer height and 50 mm/s in silver PLA. Scaled it down to 75% (also tried 25% but that didn't worked out at all :)
Awesome model. I printed the parts at 50% scale with 0.1mm layers. I glued the 2 guns parts together instead of printing the small pin connectors (was easier), the rest clicked together without problems.
Plates are a bit more difficult to print on my Ultimaker, so I cut the plates into seperate parts and used the experimental Project Planner in Cura to print them after eachother. (Excelent test case :))
I have uploaded a RAR file with all the Solidworks files in it, for parts with a left and right, you just have to mirror them part.
I'm printing on a prusa mendel. no need to split the body... I think it will still fit on my print bed. Thanks!
i'll post a photo soon!
:)
The pins should scale properly, what machine are you printing it on, if you want I can split the main body into 2 parts so you could print it even bigger
Awesome!
Was wondering if the pins would work if you scaled the model up 20%? Just wanted to make it look more THOR sized when it sits next to my SCV 8-)
This is awesome! Impressive design - I am stunned that it prints without any support. And the print you did looks great! I'll be building this one for my son!
aweome! i was gonna design a 3d printable mech myself, but this one is so cool i don't have to do it myself anymore.. :)
Special thanks to cptnAWESOME for help with design and printing

Very nice model. I can't get the legs_and_guns assembly to be printed correctly however. The overhanging part warps upwards and halfway the print the printhead knocks the leg from the build plate. Would it be possible to split that plate into guns in one plate and the feet in another one? I don't have Solidworks available to edit it myself. If I have the separate feet I can print support material so the material doesn't warp that bad.
