[@kokodonkey2460]

RCLifeOn pls make zaxe 3d printer review

[@derbaer1302]

RCLifeOn ok I will do that

[@christobaltv4762]

RCLifeOn 3d print a penny board

[@erzinserif71]

That was awesome plees more dinosaurus 3D printed skeletons maybi from brahiosaurus just maybi

[@oliverhoekstra2072]

That smooth frame rate and the lighting and the witherd look makes it so pro like. Im stunned

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I love how you weathered it!

[@lucakubitza1534]

3D Printing Nerd Oh that's cool you watch RC life on too

[@tubeMonger]

The affiliate marketing 3D printing scene is minuscule so it's not a surprise.

[@ThomasCM1995]

time for Joel to make a life sized one

[@pgrahulnivash5308]

Hi five!

[@eKoV11]

Get out of here Joel

[@LYMusics]

I love this one! The quality and the paint makes it look so real!!

[@Der_Ed]

Now a life sized one

[@eucolecionodinossauros]

I wonder if anyone has ever tried 3D printing a whole lifesize T.rex skull. That would be something else. Great video by the way, love the model.

[@Espikay]

Somebody did try 3d printing a Life sized t rex skull

[@0calvin]

That looks fantastic. I love the straightforward way in which you aged the bones. Nothing like good, authentic dirt when you need something to look old and dirty.

[@pedrowoolson4273]

All killer, no filler... maybe your best project. You set the bar high

[@dorkboy394]

I've found that the best way to achieve an accurate weathering effect on white plastic is to use real mud then use a clear coat to seal it and rough it up with some coarse grit sandpaper. Great videos and your Ender 3 Review really influenced my decision to make it my first 3D Printer!

[@flpennstater305]

the dirt technique definitely makes the piece stand out. Great work

[@hawkeyes4768]

wow this was dope,, especially how you found a process to age the bones to make it look like its right from the dig site

[@MarionMakarewicz]

You are setting the bar very high for 3D printing videos now with such excellent work as this. Just amazing. thank you!

[@jmtx.]

Awesome build. The aging effect worked out great.

[@id104335409]

Now go burry the bones in your elementary school playground and watch the local news explode!

[@galx3573]

THAT IS LITERALLY THE BEST IDEA EVER!!

[@DieTomate]

@@galx3573 DONE! :D

[@sb4gamer645]

URGENT NEWS: case of dwarfism has been discovered to have effected the great Tyrannosaurus rex as discovered in the local school playground. Front page after 1 day 😂

[@UncleJessy]

Great job on the weathering!

[@billyoungers4035]

I just finished the t-Rex model, original size. I started the stegosaurus.. I think I’ll dirty up my models too. That looks great. Wish I had room to scale them up too.

[@FrostSoul-qs6kq]

I always wanted to print my own skeletons with glow in the dark filament but since it costs too much , I started collecting miniature versions of them from around the world from smugglers or small toy stores . These things look really fancy in the display case .

[@Evanator404]

I am actually printing the skull right now on my Maker select Plus so these tips are perfect. Yours is my favorite 3D printing KZbin channel!

[@ploidemedia]

I'm currently about 40% through printing this, so far so good ! I am finding that a lot of the parts need supports though, which is making the print a lot long. I'm doing mine at 210% - Thanks for the great video!

[@fabioalvesshow]

Imagine 30 years from now you could have a velociraptor robot as a pet

[@ismaelsanchez-martinez8284]

I have a 3D printed T-Rex Skull waiting to be painted. This is EXACTLY what I needed.

[@ab3620]

Very nice! Besides the pronation of the hands, really cool looking.

[@Inventorsquare]

Incredible. This goes in the top prints.

[@jteaff]

Great job!!! I've been on the fence about committing to printing an upscaled version of this. You have sold me!! Thanks for the video!

[@homiethefish]

Looks great! Hanging like you have it will turn some heads as visitors walk in. This could have be a great sponsor video for Jurassic World.

[@nsquid78]

Time to get printing one of those! Awesome video

[@groundskeeper5292]

Awesome print. ..100 hours. impressive. Like the way it turned out. Bury those failed prints somewhere! I'm sure you could find a museum that would like that thing. Or create your own museum.

[@sasasasa-lx6cl]

Cool, great job. There may be a faster way to weather light colored PLA: buy some Potassium permanganate crystals (not a lot, 3 grams will be more than enough for couple of skeletons ), dissolve some in a bucket and put PLA parts in it. In 12 hours - couple of days depending on concentration they will be brown with natural shading, like something from the bog. Rinse, dry and mount. Keep longer for blacker finish. Theoretically it is possible to get them almost black but never tried it. With bucket large enough you can do the whole skeleton in one go. The only drawback of the method is necessity to keep surface grease-free: any glue patch of greasy fingerprint will show as light patch. And remember to check the parts and steer the solution to keep it uniform. Also depending on printing settings and PLA brand it may highlight steps and gaps between layers, so try it on one printed part first. May also work on resin casts. Definitely works great on bone, leather and horn, cause it the same process which colors them in bogs, only greatly accelerated

[@denizyar]

Where does one buy Potassium permanganate crystals?

[@thebeststooge]

You did a wonderful job with this and 100 hours is crazy and not something I would attempt with the power here.

[@silentrice7399]

2:02 Pencil?

[@k2OS]

"pensel" meaning "brush" :)

[@arvidolin4318]

In swedish we call a brush ”pensel” so i kinda get why he Said so..

[@thepianoaddict]

In Dutch we have "Penseel" and I believe German has "Pinsel". Funny how close those languages are even though they do sound very different (at least to me).

[@silentrice7399]

Oh, thanks for the clarifications

[@devluz]

Can confirm it is Pinsel in German. So we all agree RCLifeOn said it correctly just the English language is being wrong! :p

[@urbanbuffalo692_8]

thats really nice i have he same one hanging from my ceiling two weeks worth of printing and it took four rolls

[@gnarly3dkustoms]

Fantastic gob once again Simon, that really turned out amazing! Can't wait to see what else you've got in store! 👍👍

[@MuditGupta89]

that weathering technique turned out amazing! Especially considering the comparatively low effort involved! Effective af

[@dougdevine5294]

Wow great job man. Lotta creativity there.

[@christrue6039]

What setting were used here? Just watching all that negative slope on the spine being printed with no supports... Wow.

[@wickedcoder4077]

While I find all your videos great, inspiring and educational, this project is definitely on my list as a top favorite.

[@TimS57064]

Okay, now that's cool. Another project that would be fun to try.

[@Crushonius]

Joel needs to print this in life size xD 3d printing nerd we need a hero

[@Disleik]

Spectacular print and finish!

[@bessalf]

Just got a printer and my first big project will be the T-Rex. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts.. all the best!!

[@jhaberly]

I found your channel while hunting for ways to color 3D printed bones. Coincidentally I just finished printing my own T-Rex using the same model you used. I scaled mine 170% which was the largest I could do on the Makerbot Replicator 2. I had to stop one print early to cut the assembly pin short. I figured on using Super Glue. Great video! Liked and subscribed.

[@akquicksilver]

Should have set up a dip tank for the parts. Great model!

[@HOTRODLED]

Pat on the back, good job

[@chrishechtl8330]

Impressive. I deeply regret not weathering my T-rex more and more now.

[@stephenberrisford4064]

That’s so roarsome, it’s on my list to make.👍

[@serafinmarius]

WOW!! How about print setings... infill and so on?

[@W.Keeling]

You have done it again Simon, awesome man

[@WillieTRc]

That has got to be the best-looking print ive ever seen in my life!

[@michaelkania4331]

This is actually so cool

[@TheChristophertheone]

Hi, this is Chris in Bulgaria, it looks GREAT!, What an idea to use mud, i will do it on my Trex. Oh, mine is 3.5 metres long and all done on one printer, my CR10S. Not for the faint hearted, many problems, and at this size I could see where there could be some improvements in the model. Long live PLA

[@viol8r67]

Awesome video and print. I'm wondering if you thought about a matte clear coat to "set" everything.

[@a-hornchen9236]

Det se väldig bra ut. Absolut perfekt jobbat , hälsning Andreas

[@EndermanTheMan]

Looks absolutely fantastic!

[@CsSane]

How do I make the 3d printed electric skateboard tires fit my 90mm wheels instead of 92mm

[@ThePaulbusby]

Great video, your filming just keeps getting better.

[@Mani-uc5cc]

one of your best videos and most fantastic projects

[@galx3573]

That looks seriously realistic! Good job!

[@pauli383]

Great video, and well printed t-Rex

[@Bishop0178]

Would you get away without infill and an added perimeter? Should the hip be printed with more infill? I want to put in on a stand and i don't want it to tip over. Printing at 200. Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated

[@jacksongodbold9297]

Man, I love how people like us spend lots of money on 3d printers and expensive gear so we can build stuff like this. So productive.

[@CruzinComptin]

Lol he called the brush a pencil! Just thought it was funny! Great video, absolutely awesome!

[@LucasKanta]

What would be the total cost of the filanent( what is the total weight of skeleton than how much did you pay for filament by the gram?)

[@nadavleor]

WOW after I have seen alot of your videos I want to start 3D printing and drive my RC rustler again.

[@Shakalowski]

This is WHOA dude what a awesome work!

[@felixsteininger6426]

Nice video, can you list your settings for the Ender 3 or can you publish the settings file for the slicer ? Would be really nice

[@whity4584]

That's awesome. Amazing work. Now a full size T8000 😎

[@ericagarrett7989]

Could you tell me what your ended 3 settings are

[@rczone9830]

do you increased the scale size???i need your cura settings. can you provide me?

[@tonyantonellis9983]

you are quite an artist

[@bobbylim1971]

What is the chemical or coating use for this type of weathered look?

[@asgkllngfxxhkkvxdhkkbhjllnvcg]

Whoa! Great editing and awesome skeleton

[@achrafsakout1685]

The best print i ve never seen 😍

[@arvidolin4318]

That reveal was straight otta Jurrasic park

[@theoc302]

That Looks f*****g Real!

[@macswanton9622]

The Piltdown Lizard. She's a beauty.

[@rczone9830]

Amazing, but why don't you use support on printing bed ? Any special settings? I have to make that for my daughter's in school assignment. Any help from you?

[@boblepongeeeee1820]

i'm french and i love your video!!!!!!

[@4funrc11]

Hey! Your hard work certainly shows with this cool project. Very nice. Thx.

[@stefdemaere6086]

SHIIITTT that print looks amazing!

[@jojo_87_xy]

T-rex would be proud of you! 😁👍🏼

[@bcostell69]

Great model, well done

[@Spectremus]

You are so talented!

[@VeterinaryAnatomyAcademy]

Hello. I did not understand what materials you used for painting and aging. Can you write?

[@truetech4158]

What a awesome project. That is very groovy indeed! 1.75mm groovy. Ok, next is to make one that has hollowed out key pivot locations to install the hydraulics. Steppers and servos are too loud and mechanical sounding in motion. Yes, make a dino version of what Boston Dynamics does with its mobilized robo dog structures! It's a decorative addon for the treadmill at least, that can mow the yard, play drums or bass etc. Cool band idea to sell lots of concert tickets ETA: 7 weeks. Go!

[@DoctorBlankenstein]

Insane man.. Well done

[@thomauga]

Wow ! Really impressive !

[@willierants5880]

This model along with base was one of my earlier prints when I got my Mk3. All of the MakerBot models are very good. Problems I had with this model were some of the smaller thinner parts especially the ribs. I ended up using custom supports, but I would recommend using something to make bed adhesion rock solid. All in all this is a great model and well worth the time to print. I printed my bones in glow in the dark PLA from Hatchbox (wonderful stuff) and the base in Peach (Tan) from 3D Solutech. My build is on Thingiverse.

[@TheArmoredGarage]

Dude, you stepped up your painting/weathering skills on this one. This build looks great!!!!

[@the_golden_ingot]

Pretty Much everything Simon Makes turns out amazing!!!!

[@Duf]

Great project! I see that Chiron in the corner, can't wait to hear about it!

[@40mick]

Nice job Simon. Love your work and presentation!!!

[@anjithphilipjose3166]

You are more than awesome my brother..... You are my role model.....😇

[@kobuswilken2752]

Great work man!

[@KelloTao]

When you print the spine, didn't you use support? How does that work?

[@andypodmore6721]

That is so frigging awesome. Nice job on the finish. Wonder if the misses wants one in the house 🤔🤔🤔😆😆😆

[@freesoul5656]

Bro.. Do you have a video tutorial on power loss while printing ?? if not can you make for us .. M planning to buy this machine on January next year ..

[@juptuber6824]

Gosh it looks so realistic

[@drinktea89]

No support needed? What was your setup for print? I've ender 3 and purse mk3s

[@pradhanaviavneesh124]

Will I be able to print this on my ender 3 pro?

[@markotrninic4112]

Wow 👌 that's an awesome print and nice job 😎

[@Flo8770]

What an awesome T- Rex 👍👍
