Factorio Locomotive model

<p><strong>General</strong></p><p>This is a model inspired by the Locomotive sprite from the automation game Factorio.<br>I am in no way affiliated with Wube Software, this is a project under fair use.</p><p><strong>Slicing</strong></p><p>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. <strong>There is a small difference between the two alignment tabs in scale, so please stick to the part list below! </strong>While the tabs don't need support material, I heavily recommend support enforcers for the big overhangs on the main pieces. <strong>But support material can get stuck in crevices, so don't put support material everywhere!</strong> 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 &amp; material.</p><p><strong>Slicer Settings:</strong></p><ul><li>Infill: 10%</li><li>Layer Height: 0.2mm</li><li>Support Enforcers: yes (for Locomotive parts)</li></ul><p><strong>Printing Recommendations:</strong></p><ul><li>Material: PLA</li><li>Print Surface: Smooth PEI sheet or other smooth print surface for minimal seam when combining the parts</li></ul><p><strong>Part List</strong></p><ul><li>1x Locomotive_upper_front</li><li>1x Locomotive_lower_front</li><li>1x Locomotive_upper_back</li><li>1x Locomotive_lower_back</li><li>4x Alignment Tab Small</li><li>2x Alignment Tab</li></ul><p>Happy printing! :)</p>
