LSP_K2 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Just really curious, how much would this figure cost to print in Hi-Res 3D? I've become a huge fan of the robot from the newer "Lost in Space" program, and would love to get my hands on a model of it. Thanks a bunch, fellas, Out2gtcha and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The answer depends on how large the figure would be printed - if it were printed in something around 1/32 scale, the resin cost would be only a dollar or two. But if it were more like 8 inches high, that could be a $15-$30 print depending on whether the figure was printed hollow and how expensive the resin costs that is used in the printer.

That's not actually too bad at all, and yes, I was thinking 8" or so tall. Thanks, Mike. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob MDC Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hi Kev It's down to size and quality higher the resolution the longer it takes. Will get you a price for a high Res print on our system Bob LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob MDC Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 We had a chat about the figure I think most figures are solid lumps on that basis An 8" figure in standard grey supplied with all support feeds on as it stands (each finger will need cleaning up) would be £60 and a high res with the arms removed to reduce clean up would come in at £200 The main problem is printer resin cost and supply is getting a bit silly but "that's progress" Bob LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 I received the 3D file today, and have forwarded to a pal to get a price on a high resolution print. We'll know in a day or so (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) With some 3D printing services, the choice of material matter. So you could (maybe) have it printed in metal afaik. I tried self designed 3D printed parts (via Shapeways) once. I made sure to get enough 1:200 cannon carriages I needed for my brass barrels for my 1:200 wooden frigate (a plastic kit with terrible single piece cannons).

LSP_K2 Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 My guy's looking into it now. It's unfortunately not going to be very large, as up-scaling it seems to lose detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
