Claude 3D Model Update

A few posts back talked about a Claude 3D model > here from Thingiverse.  Printed off a scaled down version to see how it would turn out with the supports.  Was happy to see it turned out great.  So scaled it up and printed that version.  Being bigger you can see more detail.  My plan now is to paint it.  That will be easy until it comes time to paint his face.  Need to get my hands on some flesh colour paint.

gCreate Official Rocket Ship – Done

Have finished working on the gCreate Official Rocket Ship 3D model.  Am very happy with how it turned out.  In my last post taking about this.  Was painting the flame part of the model orange.  However that was looking every good with the cheap paint I was using.  So went with some red and that looked better to me.  You can see it for yourself in the picture below.  Did print this model scaled down by 50%.  May be at some point will make it full scale.

Claude 3D File

A few posts back talked about playing GTA 3 from the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.  Got thinking if there was any 3D printable files out there for this game.  Did a search on Thingiverse and was happy to see there was a Claude model > here.  He is the the voiceless guy you play in that game.  Wasn’t sure if it would print ok.  So scaled it down by 50% just to test my setting.  If it turns out ok will make a bigger version.

gCreate Official Rocket Ship Update Again

Getting close to finished the gCreate Official Rocket Ship 3D model I am working on.   The smoke base is done.  The sliver paint I got for the rocket turned out great.  Only need two coats.  However the flame part need more work.  Put about five coats on this orange and it still looked bad.  So decided to go with some red.  One other thing I should have done before painting was test fit the parts.  Turns out need to do some light sanding.  Have to be careful not to mess up the paint.

gCreate Official Rocket Ship Update

Got some more paint on the gCreate Official Rocket Ship 3D model I am working on.   Was looking for some sliver paint.  The only one I could find was Folkart Silver Anniversary Metallic.  Put the first coat on the rocket.  It turned out much better than I though it might.  Have three coats of white now base/smoke part of the model.  Have a few coat on the flame part, but think it needs some more.  Once it’s done will take some pictures.

gCreate Official Rocket Ship Another Update

Have another update on the gCreate Official Rocket Ship 3D model I am working on.  All the parts are printed and have them primed as well.  The first try at printing the rocket if failed.  So when I re-printed it add more supports.  Then when I was taking that off, two of the little feet parts broke.  So just glued those back on.  My goal now is to paint it.

gCreate Official Rocket Ship Update

In my last post talked about how I want to print the gCreate Official Rocket Ship. Have printed the smoke base.  That took just under 13 hours.  Did that overnight and then the next day gave it a coat of primer.  Next up is the main part of the ship.  That is where I ran into some trouble, it failed.   One of the outside rockets broke some how.  Luckily I was home to check on it every now and again.  So was able to stop it from wasting any more filament.  So re-sliced the file with add supports from the program it’s self and ones I have added.  Hope that works.  Will be back with more updates.

gCreate Official Rocket Ship

Long before I ever got a 3D printer, was just thinking about them.  Found this, gCreate Official Rocket Ship, very cool model on Thingiverse.com.  Was going though some old bookmarks and this was there.  So this is what I will be printing next.  It’s going to take many hours.  I just put a new 1kg spool of filament on the printer so I will be good to go.  All so think this model will be simple to paint.

Batman Phone Stand

Wanted to 3D print some more Batman related things.  Came across > this Batman phone stand on Thingiverse.  The base has the Batman Returns logo embossed in it.  The backrest is a Batarang from the Dark Knight.  You can print it as one object or in two parts.  I went with the two parts.  The base took about seven and a half hours.  The Batarang was about three.  Think it turned out really good.  Plan to paint the base.  Thinking leaving it black and paint the logo yellow.

Another 3D Files Site

You many know that I have a Elegoo Neptune 2.  It works great and will worth the price.  Have blogged a few times were to get files to print.  They will be linked below.  However came across anther site.  It is called youmagine.com.   There is some interesting thing on there.  Some of the file a simple, while there are some more compilated as well.  Took a quick look though the site and seen some I would like to try.  Will be back with an update.  As the other sites they are, Thingiverse, My Mini Factory , Cults 3D and Prusa Printers.
