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.

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