Giant Space Marine - 3D print/additive manufacturing


GMK

Recommended Posts

Started getting into 3D printing. Very steep learning curve - and best learned with some CAD from the net (thanks Thingiverse!). 

 

Always wanted a giant Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine, but didn’t like the pose of the Games Workshop’s 120mm figure, even when it was in production. Solution? 3D print a 200mm/8” tall one (after the one piece 100mm print failed).

Looks like it may just work!

Looks great me thinks...................definitely the way the hobby is heading and I for one am glad!  I think things like this will make scratch building and parts supplementation for custom kits very nice in the future. 
I also think the DPI/step level (like all technologies) will improve too while at the same time costs will eventually come down a bit once the technology gets more wide spread home use. 

 

Thanks for sharing
