I wonder why the author chose to use the words “fully 3D printed”? I don’t think I’m being pedantic when I say that’s a very false statement.

Aside from the motors and various electrical components, including batteries to unplug mobility in operation, most parts of the AT-AT were 3D printed with a standard 3D printer

From the article as well.

are structural support parts also 3dprinted? the article is unclear on this and id be surprised if it is.

Strange it doesn't mention the structural metal skeleton keeping it all together. That's like saying my car is completely made of paint
