Highground Scavanger for 6 mm Scale Wargames - FDM Printable Without Supports

A proxy model for a popular clan mech. Model on the photo was printed using Prusa MK4 with 0.25 nozzle, PrintWithSmile Rec-PLA (Just Grey) and with 0.07 mm layer height. 

The model is positionable and various stances can be created during the assembly.

Printing Guide

I have created the model with FDM printing in mind (as I do not have adequate safe space for a resin printer), thus the model is composed of several parts that are printed separately and then assembled and glued together. As the model is in 6 mm scale, parts are tiny and precise nozzle (~0.2 mm) is required.

General Settings

• Material: Any quality grey PLA tested and recomended
• Nozzle: 0.2/0.25 tested and required
• Layer Height: 0.07 or smaller tested and required
• Supports: not required
• Brim: selected bunny ears or overall brim recommended (see attached projects for PrusaSlicer)
• Infill: 5 % honeycomb tested and recommended
• Speed: As with any other minis, slower is better even with modern IS capable printer
