First of everything else, I have to mention and thank the author of a fantastic job he made free on the net.
The author is sutinoer and he published on:
https://p3dm.ru/files/characters/supernatural/10698-sectopod.html
that is the biggest part of the work I am going to realize next days. You can download for free.
Sutinoer published more that one hundreds 3D pictures in .dae format of many many characters, fornitures, weapons, etc etc.
My total respect goes with this person, please take a minute to visit his pages because this man is a pro!
The second step is to convert the .dae file into a .stl file.
This also is very easy and totally free online and takes no longer than 30 seconds. Just go to:
and upload your .dae file to convert into a .stl one.
Last step is to run the slicing software that you choose when you bought your 3d printer, choose your scale and just press print!!!!
The result is below. There were hundreds of temporary supports to be removed and this took a bit of time, but finally I have my sectopod thanks to sutioner.
Considering that there is the driving seat on the top of the sectopod and it is usually driven by a sectoid, the final figure in scale 1/20 it should have been printed with a height of approximately 200 mm height.
My Anycubic Photon Mono 2 has a 165 x 89 x 143 mm (HWD) volume of printing so that I was limited by this constrain. Final height is about 90 mm, but I am satisfied in any case.
Now it is only a matter of reallocate some parts that have been detected from the figure with transparent glue and paint, paint, paint like hell!
Just do it.
