A13 - Back Addons

This Pack only contains the two addons for the A13. If you want the full model , check this page! I used abbreviations for the file names, else they'd be to long. But they're pretty simple to understand: B is short for ‘ Backpack ’ 4A is short for ' 4-Arm Addon ' -F is for frame parts. -A stands for armor.

You have to options from here: Print the A4-A/F 2 Arms Runners twice So your A13 has 6 Arms in total Print the A4-A/F 2 Arms Runners & the B-A/F Backpack Runners once each So you A13 has 4 Arms in total plus two Weapon supports Backpack Arm Assembly: The Backpack itself adds two custom arms that help your A13 support the Machine Cannon and Railgun since they're pretty heavy, but as said previously the backpack arms be combined with the 4-Arm Pack (4A-F Pack). Assembly of the arms is a little bit complicated so I renamed the parts and wrote the order in which parts are connected.

I fixed that by moving the connector completely to the side, making flush with the wall and thus it easily printable. Due to the new alignment of these I relocated the holes on the backside of the ‘ 4-Arm Addon (Armored) ’ Step 2 - The Joints Sturdiness : Both the Backpack and the 4-Arm addons do have weaker joint connections, compared to the Dummy 13. In the first step this was fixed by increasing the radius of them (highlighted in white). Now they're comparably sized (even a little thicker) to the Dummy's ones. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Step 3 - The improved Chest Connector: I noticed the little stud connecting both packs to the chest piece was a little loose making it wobbly, too high and too far back for my liking. This caused my A13's to be pretty back heavy so there were 3 issues to combat. First off, the connector was shortened by about 3mm, taking it closer to the body (which might limit arm movement due to the big shoulder guards but its totally worth it in my opinion). Then it was raised to lower the backpacks slightly. 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Lastly the connector itself was redesigned to make it sturdier. Its now about 2mm thicker which eliminates the wobbly nature of the connector and having way better grip to the model. This required to redesign the chest piece itself to accommodate for the bigger connector.
