Voltron Ep.16 – Yellow Lion Body and 3D Print | 3D Printing Timelapse
📌 Technical info
Material: PLA Bambu
Quality: Perfect
Duration: 6h 30m (4 plates)
Supports: Organic tree supports
🔹 INTRODUCTION
In the sixteenth episode of the Voltron series, the project reaches a major milestone: the creation of the Yellow Lion body 🦁💛
This component represents the central structure of the model and defines the overall stability of the lion. The timelapse shows the layer-by-layer construction of a complex part, printed across four plates to ensure precision and consistency.
Another important step in this evolving maker 3D printing project, where each piece contributes to the final Voltron build.
🔹 THE IDEA BEHIND THE PROJECT
The Yellow Lion body is one of the most important elements of the entire series.
The goal of this episode was to achieve a solid, balanced structure fully compatible with the rest of the lion components.
Each episode represents an evolution: from single parts to a complete system, where 3D Printing becomes a tool for building a complex and coherent machine.
🔹 3D MODELING
The modeling of the Yellow Lion body requires careful handling of both internal and external geometry.
Main challenges included:
- splitting the model into 4 print plates
- maintaining structural consistency
- managing connection points
Organic tree supports helped preserve clean surfaces and reduce post-processing, keeping details intact throughout the print.
Optimization was essential to ensure stability during the long printing process.
🔹 MATERIALS AND PRINTING
The print was made using PLA Bambu, a material ideal for precise details and strong structural performance.
During the 3D Printing process, the filament remained stable throughout the entire duration, ensuring consistent quality across all 4 plates.
📌 TECHNICAL SECTION
Material: PLA Bambu
Quality: Perfect
Duration: 6h 30m (4 plates)
Supports: Organic tree supports
Final output shows:
✔ strong and balanced structure
✔ clean surfaces and sharp details
✔ excellent part integration
✔ consistent quality throughout the print
🔹 FINAL RESULTS AND CONSIDERATIONS
The Yellow Lion body is one of the most significant parts of the series so far.
Technically, multi-plate printing ensured stability and precision.
Visually, the result is clean and cohesive, fully aligned with the overall Voltron design.
🔹 CONCLUSION AND PROJECT VALUE
This episode marks a decisive step in the construction of the Yellow Lion and the entire Voltron project.
Completing the body finalizes a crucial structural component, bringing the model closer to its final form.
The series continues to demonstrate the value of maker 3D printing, where each part is part of a continuous and evolving system.
