BattleRoller: Chibi Thundercracker

This miniature was designed using the BattleRoller MiniMaker app. The app has a large selection of options to choose from allowing you to make your own custom characters and export the STL files for free. The app was designed to create characters for the tabletop game BattleRoller but you don't have to go through the process of actually creating a character for the game if you want to just have your own cute chibi miniatures.
Thundercracker, seeker for the Decepticons and favorite Transformer for millions of robot loving fans, is ready to come to your printer. The miniature is scaled for use in the game and is roughly 2.5 - 3 cm tall but scales up nicely for a great desktoy at 200%. Of course this model could also be printed and painted to be Starscream, Skywarp, Acidstorm, sunstorm, the rainmakers, or your own custom Decepticon Seeker.
This mini uses a snap-fit pin to hold the head and body together and was designed to be printed in ABS. You can try it in other materials, I just don't know how well the pin will hold up if it flexes.
In your zip package you'll find head, body, and pin STL files. Once printed, use the pin to connect the head to the body. Pretty straight forward. I've included both a "pin.stl" and a "thick_pin.stl". The reason for this is that printer tolerances can very from machine to machine, so use the one that works best for you.
You'll also find a browser shortcut that links to your Character's game card so you can print it out. If you really want it saved as a file instead of the "Auto Updated" version then just Print As PDF offered by most browsers.
These parts were designed with ABS in mind. You can try it in other materials but I don't make any promises that it will work. I test printed all original parts on a Lulzbot Mini with the following settings:
Material: ABS 2.85mm (Gizmodorks)
Layer Height: 0.18mm
Top/bottom: 2mm
Infill: 30%
Hot End: 250
Bed: 110
Support: Touching Build Plate
Lines
45 deg overhangs
x/y 1mm
z 0.25mm
Given the fickle nature of 3D printing what worked for me may not work for you, so use the settings that work best for your setup. I leave it to your best judgement to decide if you need supports.
