Voltron: Legendary Defender Bayard by ItsTimaiFool

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a bayard from the Netflix show Voltron: Legendary Defender. There are three different ways to print this:
In one piece: Good if you intend to paint it. It has been split in several different ways, depending on the size of your printer:
onepiece.stl: The entire bayard as one piece
onepiece_half.stf: Cut in half so it has a perfectly flat surface for the print bed. Print two identical copies. This is how I did mine.
onepiece_quarter_right.stl and onepiece_quarter_left.stl: Cut into quarters. These two are mirror images of each other, so print two of each.

With details separate: I have not tested this. The intention is that each piece can be finished separately, then attached together, so there are no paint seams. The details were exported with a 0.2mm gap between the insides of the detail pieces and the main body of the bayard.
separate_body.stl: Main body of the bayard, with no details
separate_DetailTop.stl: Top details. Print two identical copies.
separate_DetailBottom.stl: Bottom details. Print two identical copies.

With a multicolor or multimaterial printer: This version is similar to the "separate details" version, with a few important differences: There is no 0.2mm gap between the parts, and an additional part has been separated for the colored part of the bayard (the red/blue/yellow/green/black part). Finally, a left and right version of each part has been exported. These versions are identical, but located in different coordinate frames, such that they should all line up perfectly for multicolor printing.
multicolor_body.stl: Main body of the bayard, with no details
multicolor_DetailTop_left.stl and multicolor_DetailTop_right.stl: Top details.
multicolor_DetailBottom_left.stl and multicolor_DetailBottom_right.stl: Bottom details.
multicolor_color_left.stl and multicolor_color_right.stl: The colored part on top.

A few important notes:
I have only tested the onepiece_half.stl version, so I cannot vouch for any of the other versions. If you try them, please post information to help others!
If your printer only supports two colors/materials, then you should be able to print multicolor_body.stl, multicolor_color_left.stl, and multicolor_color_right.stl as one piece with two colors, then print separate_DetailTop.stl and separate_DetailBottom.stl separately and attach them.
