Hi,

To show the power of multi-material FDM printing, I designed this strandbeest model in Fusion 360. The strandbeest was invented by THEO JANSEN，see www.strandbeest.com for further information).

NOTE
I took the jet turbine design from: https://grabcad.com/library/jet-turbine-blade-1. I will not publish the turbine file until I got the permission to do it. You guys can grab the design from the link above then modify it for fit in this model.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hi,

为了展示多材料打印的强大威力，我用 Fusion360 设计了这款风力兽模型。风力兽的发明者是THEO JANSEN，在 www.strandbeest.com 这个网站可以了解更多有关风力兽和发明者的信息).

注意
涡轮风扇部分我使用了网上现成的设计：https://grabcad.com/library/jet-turbine-blade-1
因此在得到原作者允许前我将不发布风扇部分的文件，请谅解！大家可以到以上链接找到涡轮风扇的模型并自行修改以适用于这个风力兽的设计。

希望你们喜欢！

祝愉快！

Notes:

NOTE
The original size was too big for an Ultimaker printer. So I tried different scales and find @40% scale the model can be printed within a reasonable amount of time and easy joints movement.

I'm printing this on a DIY Ultimaker with multi-nozzle tool head and 0.4mm nozzle size.

NOTE2
Turbine blade is not included in this design. Please find the design, modify by yourself. See here: https://grabcad.com/library/jet-turbine-blade-1

• Slicer: Cura 3.5

• Scale: 40%

• Print Speed: 45~60mm/s

• Layer height: 0.15~0.18mm

• Print time: 35~40 hours

• Orientation: vertically, with legs parallel to the bed

• Brim: Needed, I used 8mm wide brim to make sure the adhesion was great

• Support: MUST have,

• Support material: PVA

• Support X,Y, and Z distance: 0

• Support interface thickness: 1

• Support density: 15% or so

注意
原模型比较大，不适合在 Ultimaker 机器上打印，所以我试了不同的比例，发现在 40% 的比例下模型打印的时间还可以接受，并且关节活动自如。

我使用的机器是一台自制的多喷头 Ultimaker ，喷头口径 0.4mm.

注意2
