BattleRoller: Marshmallow
BattleRoller: Marshmallow

BattleRoller is a tabletop mech battle game that captures the feeling of piloting giant robots and pulling off amazing moves like in classic Super Robot anime from the 80s.
Marshmallow here, isn't actually in the game. This is an engineering test model to make sure that all the parts fit together like they're supposed to and is the "starter file" that will be used to do more detailed gaming miniatures. The parts are designed to snap together so that they can be mixed and matched with other mecha from the game. Thanks to the connection points, the mech has 7 points of articulation and the Pilot has 1 at the neck.
I highly recommend using ABS to print. I've tested this in ABS and have no idea if it will work with other materials, and you may end up with broken clippy bits and sadness.
I printed these on a Lulzbot Mini with the following settings:
- layer height: 0.18mm
- top/bottom: 2mm
- infill: 30%
- support: touching bed only (for 2 parts)
- raft: none

Printed this little guy for my Girlfriends little cousin. Shoulders are a little loose, and I plan on putting a little hot glue on the pegs to stiffen them up. I've noticed the "Mech City" equipment looks like it will fit in the hands of these models, so I'm going to print a few weapon options for him to use as well.
