Hello all,
Visited here before, finally joined and hope to get some tips (messed up my post earlier, sorry
).
Well my Jake Sully figure will arrive soon and he really needs some company. So i hope to turn my own 3D model into a sixth scale figure to accompany him.
There's alot about 3D printing accesoires but i couldnt find much on whole figures so any tips or suggestions are appreciated before i finalise and combine the two sides and send it to Shapeways for approval.
Here she's about 44 cm high and i hope to be able to 3D print her piece by piece, touch up the parts and then put everything together.
I've read the printing material properties and demands but i'm sure it wont just work in one go. So i hope it to be a great 3d printing practice and i can always edit and reprint or even glue parts together.
So anyway, a fun little side project and i can't wait to finally have something 3D printed! I never took my own sixth scale figures apart so i'm not sure how their joints look exactly.
Couldnt find too much on this subject so love to hear what you think, especially on joints and other build tips.
There are no rubbery parts (all the same material) on this figure and i wanted to make pretty "extreme" poses possible so the joint gaps are a bit bigger.
Also the minimum thickness for printing is 0.7 mm (if any place is thinner it cant be printed and i'll have to adjust).
and all the parts:
