Factorio Locomotive

General

This is a model inspired by the Locomotive sprite from the automation game Factorio.
I am in no way affiliated with Wube Software, this is a project under fair use.

Slicing

To make printing easier I have cut the model into 4 parts (see second image) that can each be printed on their biggest flat surface with relatively little support. To help align the individual pieces afterwards you should print 6 alignment tabs as well, preferably in vertical orientation. There is a small difference between the two alignment tabs in scale, so please stick to the part list below! While the tabs don't need support material, I heavily recommend support enforcers for the big overhangs on the main pieces. But support material can get stuck in crevices, so don't put support material everywhere! I have appended my GCODE files that worked very well for me on my Prusa Printer and for the scale of the model I chose to print, but your mileage may vary depending on your printer & material.

Slicer Settings:

• Infill: 10%
• Layer Height: 0.2mm
• Support Enforcers: yes (for Locomotive parts)

Printing Recommendations:

• Material: PLA
• Print Surface: Smooth PEI sheet or other smooth print surface for minimal seam when combining the parts

Part List

• 1x Locomotive_upper_front
• 1x Locomotive_lower_front
• 1x Locomotive_upper_back
• 1x Locomotive_lower_back
• 4x Alignment Tab Small
• 2x Alignment Tab

Happy printing! :)
