Toki Articulated Meka by SPARX 3D print model

Gave myself a real challenge in making a model of DVA’s Tank/Meka “Toki” but also in creating a fully posable model.I decided upon 1/10 scale as any bigger and he wouldn’t fit shelves! . . and smaller and the proposed DVA models and crew would be too small for my liking to create enough detail . ..

This Download is ONLY THE ARTICULATED MEKA ALL PARTS ARE INCLUDED AS IN PICTURES TO CREATE A FULL MODEL AND BASE

This is not a model for the faint hearted or newbie, there are 88 parts in total and you will also need the following;2 x M6 x 25mm nuts&bolts3 x M6 x 30mm nuts&bolts1 x m6 x 75mm studding4 x M3 self tapping screws10mm x 2mm magnets8mm x 2mm magnets

I have spent countless hours and weeks modifying, designing limbs and print testing parts to ensure he is robust enough and also resembles a model of the character.So here he is. . . . please enjoy

I have zipped the parts into 3 main categories;Main BodyPelvis n LegsArms n ThingsUsing 7Zip.I have done this to keep files together and have included instructional video’s in each of the zips for assembly.

There is a PDF file with the graphics should you wish to create waterslides like the photo’sThere is also a positive and negative mould for vacuum forming the screen (not vented)Also the roof of the model has a 4 piece version for resin printers . .

If anyone has any problems or questions while building this model please contact me via this website, email or FB (all links on my profile) and I WILL ASSIST YOU.

Model is 1/10th scale therefore 300mm.The model can be scaled down by 50% but be aware you will not be able to articulate the joints, however I have created a model while print testing at 50% and glued the joints into a suitable pose . .

All parts are cut files to fit build plate of small resin printers like the Photon or have separate files than the FDM versions included.All the parts have been printed and developed to print, A lot of prints have been produced to get the figures corrected and fault free.

Why cut into many smaller parts I have been asked?

1. If you try and assemble this, then paint it . .it would be difficult to paint into hidden areas, less masking when painting separate parts.
2. Smaller parts not only allow for Resin print at full scale, but also allow individual parts to use less supports than one larger part on FDM printersSo now you know!Please do not scale down or adjust my recommended settings for infill etc. . . as you can see from the pictures this prints very well and I believe you will be pleased with the result when completed.All of my models are only released when they can print! so please do not remix or fix faults in this model then republish! If there is a fault then let me know . . message me I will answer and fix problem. . apart from that print make enjoy.

3D PRINTING SETTINGS

It is advised to Paint the majority of the parts before assembly.I would also advise very little primer and print arms and legs in a dark grey or black to avoid having too much paint on the rotating joints.

. . and last advice view the video’s before starting to build !

Resin just be aware of hollowing too much! But 90% of my build was in resin.
