120mm Fan Mount

Have 3D printed a useful item the other day.  A friend is adding new fans to his PC and asked if I could print of fan mount.  He found this > here over at Thingiverse.com.  Gave it a try and it turned out great.  This is the first time I had printed anything that had 100% infill.  Figured it would take really long. But only three hours.  Could have printed it faster but I like to keep the quality.

Batman With Cape Support Free – Printed

A few posts backed talking about his > here over at Thingiverse.com.  It’s a Batman model that doesn’t need supports to print.  Well I have printed it.  Came home from work and was off then next day.  So got it going in the afternoon and let it print over night.  The next day when I got up it was still going.  Took a bit under 18 hours.  Am happy with how it turned out.  While it does say support free I did add a brim.  So just need to do some light sanding.  Don’t think I will paint this.  Looks pretty cool in black PLA.

Batman With Cape Support Free

Keep finding awesome things I want to 3D print.  This time it’s another Batman.  This > here over at Thingiverse.com.  What makes this one standout it is support free but all so has lots of detail.  Going to download it and see what scale I will print it at.  Would like to have it pretty big.  However if it takes too long, over a day, will change that.

Bob’s Burgers – Cheeseburger

Was looking for some more Bob’s Burgers 3D files to print.  Then seen this > here over at Thingiverse.com.  It is a cheeseburger.  Think it’s funny and cool at the same time.  Looking at all the parts.  It might be hard to print the cheese and lettuce.  Going to look at it closer.  May be I will add this to the growing to print list.

A Christmas Story Leg Lamp

My plan last year was to 3D print the leg lamp from A Christmas Story but never got around to it.  Was going to print this one >  here from Thingiverse.  However some took that mode broke it into more parts then made it much bigger.  You can get it > here over at Printables.com.  Think that is supper cool.  Don’t have a spot to put this bigger version.  So I downsized the parts by %50.  So far have two parts done.   My goal is to have it printed and glued together.  So when spring comes I can paint it.

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.
