While reverse-engineering the Sky Mech, the Earth Forces decided to utilize some of the knowledge they had gained: a proof of concept for future designs like the Jet Mech. This mech, while using the same frame as the Buster and Range Mechs, was outfitted with a short range propulsion pack that would allow the mech to "jump". A new head unit was developed to give the pilot greater field of view and the ability to identify potential jump locations. While not able to truly fly, this Mech was found to be favored by pilots operating in rough terrain such as mountain ranges and the bombed out ruins of cities. The mech is typically armed with missile launchers on each shoulder as well as a burst fire laser rifle.

After designing the Jet Mech, I decided to create something a little bit more simple to clear my head. Sorry about the white scuffs on the pictures, I had my 3d printer leveled incorrectly and the pieces were hard to remove from their rafts.

The Jump Mech was designed with a focus on simplicity, durability, and ease of printing.

Joints are achieved through a system of 3mm pins that give just enough friction while also easily removed with pliers (for maximum strength, print these so that the long side of the pin is parallel to the build plate).

3 millimeter ports on the arms, legs, and back allow for cross compatibility with most other model kit accessories.

I hope you enjoy. Please send feedback as I may create improved versions of the figure in the future.

Depending on your printer and plastic, some light sanding and/or tightening of parts may be required. Tightening may be done via thin layers of super glue or multi-surface floor polish.
