[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Loved this video Danny! Great storytelling

[@StudsonStudio]

This story and journey is told so well! I want this on my shelf! I'm honored you got my cute overbite dino card and turned it into this. Though I'm also curious what you would have digitally kitbashed with that Crafsman card... 🤔

[@RaqrexArt]

I drew the spiked Dino tail and I am blown away but how you totally nailed it! It looks awesome, the whole Dino looks amazing!!!! Also I LOLed at your amazing guitar solo :-)

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

I LOVED the tail! Thank you for making something that forced me to get uncomfortable and try something new, Raquel! Fortunately, the bottom half needed very little work :D Fun fact: I actually play guitar. Solos may vary though!

[@sofiaaisa9349]

this guy has the absolute coolest voice nd vibe

[@FrankyDCrafter]

Worth the wait in so many ways.

[@maplemayhem1988]

5:57 There is something about cyborg dinosaur parts being held up by scaffolding that just hits right

[@joedapoboy]

Did someone on the challenge actually pull a card with the Crafsman on it? I want to see that monster

[@velrockartminiatures]

I noticed that haha

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

Hi everyone! #MonsterBash was amazing, you should absolutely check out all of the other videos in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLiWIXKdHWWrttB8sTsHdc3ClLe0A5pMRz ENJOY! Happy Printing!

[@jasonmilligan1215]

Love your approach and vibe! The honest storytelling and description of the struggles you had is just refreshing! And the end result ROCKS!!! So great!

[@ConjuredCraft]

Danny I love the story on your process! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you. And you weren't behind, just on Miami time 😉

[@fancifuldevices]

I watch a lot of crafting but never any 3D printing or digital sculpting stuff so this was super new for me. I was surprised at how interesting and entertaining it was, with its own set of design challenges and creativity. Thank you for opening up a new horizon to me. And your results were awesome and super fun. I love that you could incorporate him into another project you’d already done.

[@rolft.7697]

Wow! First time i am watching 3d printing Video, blown away ! Love Ur dinobot !

[@AndICanTalk2]

Loved this video, and I think your painting is great. Great stuff.

[@Rexm26]

You can't go wrong with metal dinosaurs, I love it!

[@Berserkerworks]

I really want to build a diorama with these two rivals. Great video Danny, I love seeing people push themselves to do new things and you nailed it! Dinobot4000 is a beauty!

[@MadShamanLodur]

I loved watching your journey though this task, and I always love your content. If you start actually working on gap filling for your prints, if I can make a suggestion, try either Vallejo or Tamiya plastic putty. It's designed specifically for that and it works absolutely wonderful on resin prints. I use it for a lot of gap filling on my prints. Looking forward to seeing more forays into the monster factory!

[@Fnordathoth]

That build is awesome, you should be proud of what you accomplished. Very cool!

[@person1860]

3D Printed Tabletop: I didn't have time to learn something easy. Also 3D Printed Tabletop: So I decided to learn something a lot harder! (3D Modeling/Sculpting)

[@samuelboone7495]

Dude your back! Missed your uploads. You're the reason I got into this hobby!

[@Dronos]

0:57 i was doing the saaaame thiiiiiing LMAO!

[@bigbossignition]

I know people always talk about how wholesome Brent from Goobertown is, but honestly I think you are the most wholesome person in the hobby. I love your videos and how relaxed you are. No artificial persona, just pure Danny.

[@tomlindahl3592]

Love how you are so cool about focusing on the parts that you love, and not need to go for perfection every time. Makes the rest of us hobby nerds stress out less about our own shortcomings. I'm the same way - I can't be bothered to fix every little crooked seam or blemish - I wanna paint the thing and turn it loose on my players. They'll go WOW either way, so why stress out over things that are hard to get right? :)

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Awesome video Danny! You are a great storyteller. You made me want to do another monster bash just to try digitally sculpting and printing something that fills the z volume

[@Thangs3D]

Wow! This project is fantastic!

[@Born_Stellar]

what are you talking about I think I need a Dinobot 4000 for my 40k army! best model ever!

[@mdrnsprtn554]

Danny looks like the family friendly version of the Punisher

[@pv8685]

amazing my friend. you really maxing out your skills. the result is outstanding! you could really be proud of it - couse you did it!

[@austindiebel7840]

I clicked on this video because I thought for sure it was homage to Megatron and Dinobot from Beast Wars. I mean you had the color scheme for Megatron down to a T! So surprised he wasn't your inspiration lol Great work though, you got a sub from me!

[@nctinman8775]

Love you Danny. The fun you have comes through as always. Great to see an update.

[@Kleano52]

Dope AF! Keep up the awesome work! You always inspire me man.

[@Alpha101Wolf_MC]

When I hear purple and green dinosaur I think of beast wars Megatron XD

[@kelliandonnelly102]

you're being so hard on yourself, this is incredible! I love the story behind dinobot and you absolutely CRUSHED it! I love the narrative of this video so much, and your process was so unique and fun!

[@bigolbearthejammydodger6527]

Cool dinobot for a cool colab man, Its also nice to see you shout out blender - I'm a blender code contributor. Good luck with sculpting and happy printing!

[@michaelboylan6245]

That looks so neat

[@Cavman]

This robo dino is super awesome, but just gotta say thanks so much. I watched your first digital kitbashing video, the one with the gun totting owlbear, and after watching it a few times I dove into doing my own digital kitbashing, and been having fun ever since! I have a little experience with 3d modeling, doing game modding way back in the day, so had a little experience with blender jumping in, but was much like you with the lack of skills in it. That said, the sculpting feature is phenomenal and intuitive! I have found that assembling parts in 3D Builder, the program you used in the previous video, then saving/exporting that as a .obj after some Merging of different meshes makes for a good base to add details to in Blender proper, though you gotta take care about how it decides to calculate new polygons and vertices when doing that. I am do glad I found your vid those months back, and hope you keep making cool, inspiring things Danny!

[@zzing]

I need to get into painting! Those look great.

[@Plague4946_YouTube]

This looks like Beast Wars Megatron witch looks amazing!

[@Brickerbrack]

He was my first thought too when Danny mentioned purple dinosaurs... 😉

[@chopin65]

Dino-bot! Awesome!

[@kineazz]

Really Nice!

[@xyvxyethe5584]

this is so cool!

[@laam999]

Wow great sculpting and posing especially for a first attempt. I've yet to even do that. What tutorial did you use?

[@tinaprice4948]

It's so cute!

[@optimusfjstudio3345]

this reminds me of I'm Transformers Beast Wars Megatron

[@FacilityD20]

Very cool! Nice to see someone else who don't like filling gaps too haha... I just had some major gaps to fill on a red dragon from lord of the print on a video on my channel too!

[@reload54]

this was one of my favorites, I guess because it reminded me of my childhood watching Dino-riders.

[@kandanium9262]

I love the channel. Would love to see more from the Kickstarter and how it went

[@Bushlore1]

Hugs Danny, you rock bro!

[@shrek7037]

Dinobot maximize.

[@dawnjackson5773]

I am so happy I am not the only who adds Final Fantasy flare to my games.. I know you have done a few in other videos .. But this one made me smile the most because how creative it is..

[@minimishapsgames894]

This is so awesome. Your monster turned out incredible, I love the creation story, the collaboration is so inspiring, and the DINOBOT-4000!! Thank you for sharing such a super cool story.

[@krekcabnow2910]

1:38 THAT IS CRAFSMAN! Crafsman steady craftin. In fact you should get him for the next monster bash :-)

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

There's a reason I kept the frame there :D I was hoping someone would get him, but alas it didn't come to pass...next time!

[@paulfielder336]

what program were you using on your computer and tablet to design your Dinobot ??? I have been looking for something like that myself.

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

I didn't design the core of Dinobot, he was a digital kitbash of several. Blender is a free program that would work great, and Zbrush is another alternative. Enjoy!

[@badvermin]

You literally recreated a Masters of the Universe toy, Tyrantisaurus by accident. He is a purple Tyrannosaurus Rex with robot bits only the legs and has a gun. I honestly thought you were remaking the toy when I saw the thumbnail, it's exact.

[@terrain4print]

What year is it? It's the viking age.

[@plooply]

Hi Danny, idk if youll read this but its worth the shot i guess lol. the profiles that are for ender 3 mini settings when i import. is there any work around i could do ?

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

Hi Plooply! Give these profiles a shot. They're great and work with recent Cura versions: www.dropbox.com/sh/vr9lkpjt6zw7s8s/AADH5OeOrZll_pIxg9XPOuuQa?dl=0 No workaround needed. Otherwise, I just use tweaked Cura defaults lately. Happy printing!

[@NerdCraftHQ]

Danny, This is so great! Maybe we will see a cheeky photo depicting DINOBOT-4000 V. ANGRY OWLBEAR ;)

[@annamakesandmends]

I'm working my way through all the monster bash videos, and all I can say to you is BE MORE CONFIDENT! Your work is amazing and you should be so proud! I love Dinobot4000!

[@dalarast]

I hear the wings moving at 5’ as the Dino moves closer... chomping widely in the air. Oh how will we survive. I know EMP.

[@brushhammerdice4438]

Hey danny, i treid to upload yourcura profile form your webside. when i want to import it, it says "Quality type 'high' is not compatible with the current active machine definition 'creality_base'." What do i have to do?

[@owl5523]

Hi, Your videos have been very insightful and full of knowledge Could you do a video about "How to earn by selling 3d printable digital miniature models" or anything along the lines of that would be greatly helpful, Thank you !

[@davidaguilar2151]

Hi Danny, great video :) Sorry, I know u get this question alot, but what I'd a great 1st level filament printer for terrain and buildings for d&d? I have mi Elegoo Saturn for minis, but I jave never used a fdm printer. Thanks :)

[@TorQueMoD]

It's funny that you say you're not good at painting, because I thought your paint job looks gorgeous!

[@modhail6908]

You say you're a poor painter, but I just rewatched the 3d kitbashed owlbear, and it looks quite good! I know this a 3d printing channel, but could you share how you painted your Owlbear?

[@chimkennungats1037]

Honestly, you should give yourself more credit when trying to compare your work to the other participants. You did a great job and managed to not only use this to learn new skills, but make a really fun and funny creature! Well done~

[@antsinpantsninja6619]

I'm new to the channel and 3D printing in general but this is some of the coolest stuff I've seen so far. You've got a new sub. Keep up the great content!

[@Dynamitemedina]

when the ff7 ref came in i died.

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

SHINRAx3DPrintedTabletop collab ftw 😁

[@dn6285]

wow this was so inspiring dude! out of all the videos in the monster bash, this one spoke to me the most. I am not a modeller or garbage putter-together-er but I'm totally a 3D printer! great to see a fellow 3D print enthusiast get into the mix on this one! Awesome job! Keep it up!

[@multi626style]

Hey Danny just got my first Ender 3 the other day! When you’re printing minis on it do you look for FDM printer files or print resin files on it?? Thank you my man!

[@mr0shag]

Sooo it has been a while since the last update on what printer you recommend..... can we please have another one :D! Everyon else is making them but I know I prefer your reviews the most!

[@thogthemighty7960]

Honestly, the stupidity of a cyborg dinosaur with a gun fits in perfectly with all the other absurd bullshit in this challenge. You did good.

[@promiscuous5761]

Thank you.

[@LaraPosting]

You unironically made the model more scientifically acurate by posing it's arms in the right way

[@JohnDoe-sn1ps]

Wanted to say that out of all the videos I've seen about this topic yours are the best. I binged watched your whole channel thank you for the great content.

[@OverboardDM]

Very cool. A couple of the other people in this challenge are in my discord

[@CodeXCDM]

Dinobot? He's purple, like Beast Wars Megatron though!

[@marcjones5862]

Plzzzzzz make this file public so we can have a go at painting it and further kit bashing it :)

[@grantfryer1]

It's called "exquisite corpse" a baseline of the surrealist art movement.

[@robertcross6421]

I do a lot of customs myself. You did a really great job and I learned much from you today.

[@solodragun]

Laser Unicorns Kung Fury vibes for days😜 love it!

[@lukemcdonladson6648]

👌😊💚

[@ejrz6553]

I really like this guy and this channel

[@3DPrintedTabletop]

I like you too, EJRZ!

[@spencerjhette3518]

This guy made a fukin digimon

[@tylercarson7091]

What app did you use to send your Dino to the 3D printer or what app did you make your Dino on

[@nikolaosstavrou5327]

danny you sould print dino saucers a kids cartoon show back in the day.

[@baryonyxwalkeri3957]

Oh that's the Papo Allosaurus. Or at least the models seems to be based on that one.

[@ArchmageMinis]

Would we be able to get the stl? I want to build an entire dinobot army😆

[@salvadordiazosorio3847]

The gaps fill with Tamiya cement.. it's better

[@alli_mode]

This one is one of my favorites so far! (I've seen 9 at least)

[@parkertdm1652]

Why does it look like a legitimate 40,000 unit.

[@skizzlep]

Love to see some Crafsman Steady Craftin love 1:36

[@greenmurray7919]

The painting actually looked really cool!

[@fundyproductions5927]

Looks like a Extreme Dinosaurs villian

[@debbralehrman5957]

I think it look very cool. Colors came out great too.

[@patricknelson2102]

Miscast's playlist brought me here and I have to say I love the ideas you did. I'm just getting into the whole modeling game but I love what you did! You made it and owned it! Great job!

[@leftwingdragon6235]

Really love the video well done keep up the good work 👍

[@Kitzkrieg]

How do we get the file for this little dude?

[@MrStatistx]

Oh yeah, I totally understand not liking assembly as much as painting. It's a necessary hindrance for me

[@andrewdrauth]

Found your channel through this monster bash challenge and I just want you to know that you do great work and you're also hysterical. You've gotten at least one more sub!

[@brandoncarpenter1338]

I love your fun personality and your genuine approach to the Creative process, it encourages me to get creative myself. thanks for putting this out it made my day!
