My TMNT 1990's Movie 3D Printed Raphael Build - Part 3 - How I Glue Together 3D Models

[@cjkostranchuk9058]

This is my dream right here! I've contemplated buying a 3D printer to do a life size Raph for my gym and this isn't helping my impulse buying. I'm beyond jealous and I can't wait to see it finished! Cheers

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Dude if you have a dream to do it, don't let it pass you by! There hasn't been a better time to do it as 3D printers are cheaper then they have ever been and the resources on KZbin to help have never been better. Do it man!

[@Molino-Red]

This looks amazing bro! You HAVE to make a wearable turtle suit just like this look here that would be EPIC!! How can you not want a TMNT wearable full costume like the 90s movie suits

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I wish I had the room to place the ridiculous amount of molds its going to take to make a wearable suit. I still might and can always do so later but for now a statue is much more suitable for my space.

[@Molino-Red]

@@ChrisBoshProps definitely the statue is awesome it’s a must have 👍🏼

[@drinnerd8532]

LOL! Bro ... Between the soundtrack of BLOODSPORT, your love for ROBOCOP, the Turtles, Ghostbusters props (INCREDIBLE!!!) Street Fighter 2, and all the other stuff I saw during your montage at the end, you are a DEFINITELY man after my own heart. You must have been born within the same timeframe as me, lol! ROCK-ON, brotha!!!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

1982 sir! Yeah man I love all the throwback stuff especially some JCVD, my childhood hero next to Stallone.

[@BAndres1]

That's what I'm talking about Chris. Raphael is coming alive very awesome. Looks really tough and solid 💪😊

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Thank you! Its coming out awesome so far and I appreciate your ongoing support.

[@nathangraves1069]

it looks awesome Chris !!, i'm super fan of TMNT and i love this project. i have the vhs movies, neca figures, other figures, the movie ost, videogames........ i'm excited to see Raphael completed.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I appreciate you! Thanks for the comment.

[@boredbum2009]

Keep it up! I AM ALWAYS EXCITED SEEING WHEN YOU POST!!!! LOOKS GREAT!!!!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Thank you so much!!

[@nicholeroe5961]

That is going to be awesome! I can't wait to see it all finished and find out where you'll put him lol

[@user-db5qd3wd6z]

Looking good! As you were sticking the leg together all I could think was 'keep your hands moving and don't get stuck to the job'. Super glue and baking soda bonds fingers in seconds! 👍

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I know getting super glue on your fingers is pretty inevitable with a job like this. Wish I would have remembered to mention that.

[@FilmLearnin]

Very interested to see how you manage the posing!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Thank you for watching and your support!

[@Projects-In-Progress]

When putting to big pieces together, have you ever though about gluing in a few pegs on the inner part of the parts as a guideline? to rest on as it would make it easier to line those legs and arms up to assemble. Then all you would have to do is baking soda the area and glue it. Love watching your channel on your props you make. Keep up the great work.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

That's a pretty good idea but I've been gluing large props together for so long im kind of use to aligning parts by feel. Creating posts in the model would just tale up to much time and might or might not work depending on the model. Thanks for your comment!

[@HELLEKSONART]

Looks Amazing So Far.

[@HELLEKSONART]

Cowabunga!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Thanks!

[@tyleradams3490]

I ordered a Raphael mask prop from a company almost a year ago now... still waiting on that order to be fulfilled. I wasn't 3d printing back then. The mask and hands cost me more than a Neptune 4 max or about what a p1p costs.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Hey Tyler I appreciate you sharing that, I think you proved my point about cost when it comes to being able to do this on your own versus paying someone through the roof for one that probably doesn't look as good as this model. Same goes for Robocop and many other movie props that have crazy accurate 3D models now. Thanks for the comment!

[@tyleradams3490]

@@ChrisBoshProps yep :) I'm so impressed and excited for all the possibilities within reach now.

[@SimonWoodwardArt]

This is one of the coolest 3D printing projects I've ever seen. I am watching while imagining where I would put a 7ft Batman sculpture though. Maybe right behind me when I open the front door? Great job!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Thank you! There is some really good Batman 3D models out there so its totally possible.

[@mattp2557]

looking good dude

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Appreciate it

[@markwillson9621]

Amazing work again. Love the information you're providing for how to fill seams etc

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I appreciate you watching sir and hope that might help with your pack build. Its pretty much the same concept and exactly what I do on all my multipart 3D prints.

Hey I have a 66 mustang in my garage next to where I work on lightsabers and 3d print stuff too! Nice!!!

That is so radical, I need to go watch the movie now ! Ive only just got a 3d printer just a small Egloo ,but im sure itll teach me a few things b4 i can jump to what your doing.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Thank you! Start small then go big, that's a good idea.

[@7gpanda744]

Awesome!!!! I thought at first it is Custome.... but it is not :)

[@jonathangreen2064]

THIS needs too be done for a REMAKE MOVIE live action imo

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I agree! Another live action turtle movie following in the foot steps of the 1990 movie would be so cool. Sadly due to the weak out of touch nature of Hollywood these days, I just dont see it happening.

[@camrynhamme]

When filling the seam in the center, a piece of leather or making a mold of one of the textured portions would work great for texturing some bondo or filler

[@Grantdalton-xy8mc]

awesome and amazing I love the 1990s teenager, mutant ninja turtles movies I love the first movie and the second movie are you putting any animatronics inside the ninja turtle costume like they did with the movies

[@ChrisBoshProps]

No animitronics, just a statue statue. Thanks for the comment!

[@joeszymanski3540]

Having a 3d pen is great for fixing seams.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

For smooth surfaces yes but not textured surfaces unfortunately.

[@sauceboss6993]

Please tell me that you are 3d printing it to turn around and cast it as a wearable costume.

[@powerturtlebusters]

Yep. That glue is strong asf. I glued my fingers before with it. Not even gonna get into that. I still get a lil nervous using it.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Yeah its good stuff! I've had that happen quite a few times.

[@prodeous]

Nice work.. will you be putting sand or other heavier items in legs so the figure will stand upright easier? or do you have other ideas in mind?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I might make a PVC stabilozer or brace to help keep him upright or maybe just see how well he stands when placed on a PVC mannequin im going to make. Thats a good idea you had in mind though. Well see when I get that far though.

[@AlphaProto]

I saw the thumbnail on the side of my screen. Looks like I have to subscribe to see how this turns out. I wonder if he is going to mold and cast these?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

At the moment I don't plan on molding because of lack of space. I appreciate you watching and supporting!

[@matmansgadgets]

Hey Chris, Couldn't you use a resin fill for your seams and UV cure it? I think with the resin curing it would be easier to keep the detail and texture.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Im definitely going to try that and see how it turns out in a small spot, appreciate the idea. If it doesn't turn out, ill probably use a sculpting putty to fill and sand.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

👍

[@TheMojoDojo]

AND YOU FINISH WITH THE BLOODSPORT KUMITE SONG??!! OK I SUBSCRIBED!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Thanks man!

[@ElectroBlep]

PLA is brittle enough that I would be worried about putting all that work in on something that could shatter if it falls over. I hope you are least using PLA + , or PLA Pro, or some other version of tougher PLA. When you do the video of it in it's final state, please let us know how many total hours of printing, and kilo's of filament it took. I don't plan on building one myself, but I'm always curious what it takes to do something so huge. Thanks!

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Its printed in PLA+. Ill definitely do a video on cost and stuff to help others who might want to build one.

[@jlittle0027]

I have a Neptune 4 Max on the way. Have read some horror stories with getting it setup and functioning. Did you have to do any tweaking or just update to latest firmware and roll with it? How long did you let the bed heat soak before starting the print?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

To be honest, I bought a used Neptune 4 Max from Elegoo on their site for 300 bucks and it was practically new. I think the used 4 max was so cheap because of the bad reviews which Im now thankful for. The printer has been nothing but awesome and works amazing. After initial set up the only issue I've had is the default Neptune 4 Max profile in Orca slicer sucks and the quality suffers with a lot of stringing and underextrusion in spots with various models. I switched over to my Simplify3D slicer and used their profile and the Neptune 4 Max prints flawlessly. I soon realized that nothing is really wrong with the printer itself but its mostly slicer issues with bad profiles for gcode. The used Neptune 4 Max came with the latest firmware and I haven't had to upgrade anything. A little trick for proper bed adhesion is make sure your bed is clean and buy a can of Aquanet hair spray. Spray the hair spray on a microfiber cloth and rub it on the bed. It works perfect if your bed is nice and level.

[@FutureLaugh]

this looks so sick, but is it going to be a statue or a costume? it seems stiff

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Statue at the moment.

[@FutureLaugh]

@@ChrisBoshPropsmaybe before you professionally paint it- after you fix all the seams you can make a giant cast and have a real suit made

[@graphicsgod]

Are you going to cover this in latex and recreate a costume to wear??

[@ChrisBoshProps]

At the moment its not in the plans because I don't have room for the amount of molds it would take to make it wearable. I might in the future but for now its just going to be a statue.

[@briancurran1667]

Have you thought of 3D print a wearable suit like from the movie Like your RoboCop?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Not at the moment. So far its just going to be a statue.

[@MMQsTacosConLimons]

Man what are your settings? Dope job looks perfect. What slicer u use?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I think the texture on this model helps it to print a lot smoother then if it were just a smooth surface. I used Simplify3D to print the entire model. Orca slicer, Cura, and Prusa slicer were unable to slice the model due to the texture, they just all would freeze and hang. This is where Simplify3D reigned supreme over all the freewares and why its worth paying for because its not problematic and complicated like the freewares.

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Settings were 15 percent infill, 3 walls, .2mm layer height. Printed across three printers. Creality Cr10max, Neptune 3 and 4 max.

[@Meson3dPrint]

It's working perfectly, how much filament did you use, not counting the hull and the front?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

10 rolls give or take.

[@baljazz]

Damn. Wish I could afford the files lol. Do you plan on making different poses?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I'm hoping to pose him in a karate stance but well see. Thanks for the comment!

Knega,what in dee 🎉actual FfuUccc😂

[@jessiejames8949]

How did you hollow it out? Is that just an option on your slicer?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

You just set the infill In your slicer to zero but make sure you increase the walls to 5 or more.

[@jessiejames8949]

@@ChrisBoshProps thank you for the reply. I plan on starting a teen Gohan Ssj2 that will be life size. So just over 5ft with his hair. This will help me save so much time and filament

[@dubuyajay9964]

You ever make the Predator/Yautja?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I haven't yet! I really want to do a Predator mask sometime though! Not sure on a full prop quite yet.

[@lsg1Entertainment]

It doesn't look like you did alot of sanding, what was your layer height? I use that same superglue\baking soda, it works perfectly but smokes and gives a mild Chem burn..no big deal😂 all part of the process

[@ChrisBoshProps]

I haven't got to the sanding part yet. The post processing will start once I ifinish printing everything. I printed at .2mm layer height.

[@powerturtlebusters]

Better than Henson tmnt 1? Let's not go to far now, thats a bold statement lol

[@ChrisBoshProps]

Im not knocking they are amazing and masterpieces but none of his suits have survived due to the nature of latex and weren't nearly as crisp as this model. Im simply talking about the sculpts, the animatronics and everything else he did can't be touched.

[@slashsgraveyardtales1313]
