[@JoelPerry1]

Ok, hear me out. Life-sized full Bionicles.

[@The_Iron_Devil]

It needs to be done

[@lukewarm179]

Yes please.

[@enderbro1550]

i would pay money to see this

[@JoelPerry1]

I just have the one K1max. I certainly can't afford the filament at the moment. But I might give it a shot

[@LintTheRat]

Yes

[@thaumaticpig]

The golden Hau with the tree supports still on it goes so hard

[@DsmGuru463]

This makes me so happy, as a kid I collected these until they stopped making them. I am pretty sure I have every Bionicle ever made and I loved the comics and movie as well!

[@laminate31]

BIONICLE!!!!! Dude this is insane I’ve wanted to print one myself a lot and now I think it’s a good idea (I’ve printed them in normal scale and stuff like the ones I have in my collection)

[@raymondgomez8687]

The magnetized mask was a great idea! These are SICK

[@JonathanCase12345]

the pure Enjoyment you got at 9:15 trying them all on is amazing

[@gbowman323]

bro it seems like no one remembers bionicle so thanks for bringing my child hood back and GG

[@baushey5708]

Something about seeing Bionicle at this massive of a scale just makes me laugh

[@Alucia0]

Okay I need to do this!!! I neeeed some life size Masks. I'm genuinely so impressed with how smooth the Pakari looks. The Hau is obviously the most iconic but they all look so good.

[@ToaPaul959]

Holy crap that's awesome! I badly need some life-sized Kanohi now... Bionicle was a massive part of my childhood and is still important to me today.

[@Berriferri]

That face mask magnet mounting was genius!

[@max_hairloss]

The white one came out SO NICE! That one was my favorite when I was a kid!

[@Strobbelaar]

The green filament might work really well with a green goblin kind of print

[@linkpuppyandzeldakitty]

And here I thought I was gonna be the first person to do life size bionicles XD well half way done with the little guy gonna have to expedite doing the big set I had planned XD

[@derekstillmunks2076]

Giant LEGO lightsabers print REALLY nicely in silk PLA.

[@BasementDweller_]

The magnets is a genius idea.

[@lukewarm179]

Please do life sized bionicle’s. With your skills they would turn out amazing!

[@florider_hd]

damn the black one looks so sick. id love to own that but without the magnetic thing so it doesnt stick out that much

[@goatelope7539]

They looked amazing in silk

[@RJcreations3D]

🔥!!! Stay awesome Frank!

[@user-pm5ec3xy3g]

Let's go! These are a huge part of my early years

[@afrothunderjb]

That’s a heck of a gift! Great job!

[@mrsfgogo09]

They came out beautiful and OMG the time lapse of them Flipping beautiful 😮loved every minute of it

[@Toa_of_Lead]

You should 3d print the under face plate as well!

[@chickenbroscosplays]

I love this, Bionicle was my childhood!

[@drkknight001]

That’s an awesome gift! Some retro projects would be fantastic

[@ernie3633]

Man! I want all❤

[@calebmccarthy7298]

Now this I can fully get behind holy crap! This is awesome!😊

[@deathknightrevan]

Toa Tahu, Lewa, Gali, Kopaka, Pohatu, and Onua. memories.😢

[@WTCheatShaming]

Hey frank you should do a guide on how to make colored images on the same layer.

[@syluskipping2442]

Awesome project! What was your favorite as a kid?

[@cecillewolters1995]

This is amazing man! Gifts like these will bring joy for a lifetime ☺️

[@astrophysicistguy]

It’s so cool that you do the Secret Santa gift exchange and make amazing 3D prints for your friends! Question: I’m about to begin a Halo Master Chief full armor build & need a large volume printer. While I love my PRUSA i3 Mark3 (3800 print hrs & counting - full Mando & Bo Katan armor + weapons, etc) it’s not going to cut it for this. So, which of the following would you recommend: Anycubic Kobra 2 Max; FLSUN V400; Artillery Sidewinder SW-X2; other? Reliability, great pint quality, auto bed leveling & no need to do upgrades are the important things - fast is nice but secondary to the other req’ts as are things like printer space & price. You’ve always given great advice & I’ve learned a lot since subscribing to your channel last year so I’m hoping you can make a distinction between these that I may have missed …. Keep up the great channel!

[@NoahThomas-hs5mm]

That is a cool system of using the base mask and a magnet to sorta hot swap them

[@morganberry6791]

Love the video Frank!!! You helped me get into the hobby and learn so much so thank you! Also love these types of videos (and you printing your dog lmao)

[@daniellongoni2360]

thanks for posting a vid all of then or so fun to watch I would like to see a another sword bild like the buster sword vid

[@bloodstreak2001]

Maybe you can also try make Ben 10 Omnitrix A Beyblade Transformer that actually transforms Hot Wheel cars fit on Hot Wheel track Or anything that's cool from your childhood

[@ScharataxD]

I fkin love Bionicle, the masks look amazing!

[@TJ10033]

You did it again Frank another great 3d printing video with things we all love from our childhood Thank mate keep being you and don't change for anyone mate 🤜🤛 looking forward to seeing more great things my friend

[@lucasblanchard47]

Those are so cool!

[@youbuyverylucky2493]

woo-hoo i've been waiting for this video for the whole week, good job frank keep up the good work

[@JayJacksRC]

No way bro that’s amazing I was just talking to my little brother about these!!

[@jonnystearns8010]

Wow Bionicle??? Dam I remember those when I was a kid I play for hours

[@FanOfToaTahu]

This is fkn amazing!!

[@Willowofdarkness19]

This was NOT what I expected to see today. Amazing !

[@kajitoushen7947]

[@scooterpro1111]

[@Memelord3X-41D]

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

so sick! I saw these on your IG earlier this month and was hoping there would be a video; may have to print off some of these for myself 🤑

[@iPrintDreams3D]

Dude! Sick! I was just going to reprint all my old Bionicle figures but now I kind of want to print full size masks. lol

[@Blockhead5757]

This brings me back😢

[@irarelypost8784]

I’m Going to have to need to print Gali’s mask in translucent blue

[@IndigenousCreatures-3DPrintz]

Wow those came out awesome. I just recently printed my first 2 helmets. One Mandlorian and Blackbpanther. My Next helmet is the spiderman one. Im going to try the scanner for my head and fit it that way.

[@ericsampoll]

Just wanted to give you the best gift ever possible kinda video! 3d printing dreams! Nicely done ✌️ I'll always ask for Tekkaman Blade to make an appearance on the channel. Congratulations and great work.

[@jerramebutler8596]

Beetleborgs. Wow, that's something I haven't heard forever.

[@KatanaBeatsPaper]

Ayeeee thats awesome! Kenneth is a homie, happy to see him in one of your videos!

[@MikeRaff-yw1bl]

That's too cool Frank! by the way who gave you your gift?

[@kia3281]

[@patrinicorevelations9738]

They turned out so good. Are the silks from Sunlu?

[@1048matt]

[@FanOfToaTahu]

YAY BONKLE

[@jlookout2736]

my discord calls sound like the ol' COD days great to know their are others. love the masks and that magnet idea is awesome

[@JoeyCollings]

I kinda wanna see him make and paint a working hidden blade from assassins creed

[@creamypeanutbutter3363]

never thought i would see bionicle cosplay on my fyp proved myself wrong lol

[@justsomeguy5628]

This is really cool! I will say though that it is a shame you didn't keep the set accurate connection where you have to hold it in your mouth, or the lore accurate solution of making him install a large magnetic plate in his forhead.

[@arowe231]

Awesome video as usual an awesome pieces of work. I really didn't see all that much excitement from Kenneth. Jklol

[@danex902]

Great Stuff! Question: What size nozzle do you use for your bigger projects? Anything bigger than .4mm? Thx!

[@Noah_Bisch]

Hey Frank. You’re bad ass!!!!

[@2strokemedia220]

have you got detailed vids on what programs you use for designing and what scanners are good? also I've been stumped on supports I don't know if I'm adding to many or not enough and what style to use thanks

[@legolegendzyt]

awesome build. which 3d printer for cosplay would be the best for under. 300 pound

[@Dragonaut72]

Can you do a mata nui mask?

[@thebrokenhawk]

Great video! I would love to see some Halo projects in the future! Plenty of great helmets to make!

[@afroalan]

How good of a PC do I need to start the 3d printing hobby? I love your videos I’ve watched a bunch and I’m ready to buy a Sovol Sv01 Pro to do some helmets eventually and I’m not sure what kind of specs I need in a new PC thanks for any help

[@MultiHippie13]

[@grahamkeys]

What slicer is this and would you recommend it over Cura for a non high speed printer?

[@JoelPerry1]

Orca slicer and yes.

[@darinabrahams7824]

Hey where did you get your ironman chair from I'd love to take a look at what's available. Id also loveeee to get into this whole 3d printing thing it seems amazing to be able to build my own props and masks, but it seems a lil scary with all the "coding" needed and programs that I have no clue how to use, nor do I even have a printer but hopefully oneday, in 22 atm looking to move from south africa to London within the year so hope all goes to plan and within a year I hopefully have my own marvel pieces. Ps spiderman is my fav followed by ironman 😂

[@JoelPerry1]

The coding is not as scary as it looks. Start small, and you'll get there in no time.
