Almost makes me want to get a 3-D printer

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

Wow! thats a great model. I"ll have to print one for myself.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

I'll print one out and see how it goes. Looks like a really good model!

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

Wow, beautiful scuplt. 20cm isn't a bad size, either!

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

I may try this on my day off.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

Fun!

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

Now that I am off for a week I am gonna try this. Will post pics at some point.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

Almost done mine. Been chipping away at it this past week. It's great. no glue needed. It just snaps together!

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

I ran out of white a few weeks ago so I am printing in Black. Should be fine when painted, or maybe Nemesis Prime him. I got the head done and snaps right in. Working on the chest.
What printer do you have?
I have the Dremel 3D40.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

I have access to a 3D printer at work so I might give this a go. What material are y'all using?

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

I ended up printing mine quite a bit larger than my brain mathed the sizing... Also had to start in black because I didnt have white, then when I ran out of black my order for white came in.
I may try to redo it in proper size as well since my other order with different colours is also in.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

I have the Dremel so it uses PLA.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

I have a makerbot replicator+. I used pla. I have all the colours, so it looks good. Needed to shave a few parts, but otherwise it just snaps together! No glue needed.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

Love it! I’ve been wanting a printer but I know I won’t get the use out if it...no shop space either. Keep up the good work

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

Finally printed this out. Mix of Makerbot Rep2 and Ultimaker 2+. Using pla.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

I'm about 50% through printing this figure. I love the sculpt, but I'm finding that the fitment is really loose. Are you guys experiencing this too? Also, I seem to have odd rough patches in my prints sometimes. I'm new to 3D printing, so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong - you guys have any advice? Oh and I'm printing in PLA and using a prusa printer.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

Elbows and hips were loose on mine. Hips I just shoved in some tissue papers to stiffen it up. Elbows...I figure I might use some Futures in there or something. White tissue paper in red joint would look bad.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

I'm really surprised more G1 parts aren't being 3D printed.. like combiner hands and feet. They would make great temp parts, while waiting to acquire real ones.

Re: 3-D printed poseable Optimus Prime
 

It looks pretty good. Recently I bought a new 3D printer from www.mrdepot.ca which I am going to use for costumes made of plastic. I will make different things like Iron Man costume, or those from G.I.Joe and many many others. Now, I need to find good quality materials because I want to make the plastic thick enough in order to be difficult to crush it. If you know where I can buy good colors and materials, I will be very glad. I hope that I will do everything perfectly and I will start to sell them.
