Epic 3D Printed Godzilla Diorama!

[@bipolarchemist]

Lasers? The routing of the beam through the smoke would be tricky, but it would be cool. Or if you want to be safe, maybe some side viewing LEDs to add some extra drama.

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Yeah. I toyed with that idea, but decided to avoid it. It's actually quite obvious in the real world when it smokes up, it's just hard to make it obvious on video.

[@ya3verma]

That's was realllly awesome!!!! Not just awesome, it's fantastic build,!!! And it should be viral!!

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

YATIN VERMA thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed 🙂

[@issasaid92]

This is just superb... wow !

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Issa Al-Ismaily thank you!!

[@billyroberts2948]

Wow Mark! You truly captured him in all his glory! I wish I could get a printer and print this out and do something similar, but the finances just won't allow it right now. If you decide to print more of the clear ones to sell let me know!

[@dannyendoso5290]

Great video. Love Godzilla. If you’re still looking for a better way to remove your epoxy dams when using hot glue, try a heat gun. It’ll soften the glue and it’ll be much easier to break away from your diorama base. Just not too hot or it’ll be a big gooey mess.

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

danny2step thanks Danny! I’ll give it a try next time!

Found your channel via 3D printing Generals video titled " Good 3D Printing Channels Under 10K Subs Pt 3" and Boy o boy was I not disappointed. A definite sub from me. I love this project and this is the whole reason I got into 3D printing. I used to buy miniatures and paint them but wanted to take it further. Thank you so much for this project and video.

[@jordongingrich8913]

Incredible work Mark.. wow.. im blown away!!

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks Jordan! A lot of fun in this one :)

[@Old_Man_Bushcraft]

Awesome original Mark! Keep them coming!

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks Bill! Already got a couple more interesting projects planned ;)

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Nice!

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Colossal BigShot thanks so much!

[@anthonyrich1592]

Amazing work, Mark, such skills! KamuiCosplay did a video on smoke machines for cosplay last year using vape cartridges. An interesting thing she pointed out was that they come in two different coil resistances - around 0.6 ohms and 1.8 ohms. If you're building something battery powered you definitely want to find and use the 1.8 ohm ones.

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

I guess it depends on the size of your batteries. I used an even bigger cartridge with batteries in the Genie Lamp vid :)

[@titisarasti410]

amazing

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Titi Sarasti thank you so much!

[@titisarasti410]

I loved seeing your work, I wish I could do the same, I have my head full of ideas, ha ha, but I have never done any of that, it is beautiful

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Titi Sarasti hit me with some ideas!

[@titisarasti410]

I don't know, maybe you don't like it. It can be a Pacific RIM robot, with the same godzilla technique, and the kaijus, underwater, of course without smoke hahahaha. and with a back wall illuminated in the shape of the portal of the universe of those monsters at the bottom of the sea, oops I exaggerated a lot hahaha

[@GrafitTomi]

Awesome make! Cool video Mate! Thumbs up!

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks Grafit! And thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you during the build.

[@smileyjoe6811]

This is a awesome project you did I I'm trying to make one for my kid he is really into Godzilla the only problem I'm having is the switch wiring how was that done in the pictures it only shows power and ground I got the same one you had but came without wiring direction not sure what other 2 prongs are used for again awesome build I like your content on the channel

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Smiley Joe from memory, mine had a - and + for the led light. The other two were the switch

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

Amazing workmanship. I wonder if with the right nozzle and pulsing of the pump, you might be able to get him to blow smoke rings. LOL

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

100% you could with a vortex generator!

[@TD3DMakes]

Great video Mark, been looking forward to it since you shared pictures of your build. The whole thing turned out awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thank YOU for watching Thierry!

[@rgsv3d576]

That's incredible! You earned a subscriber

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks for the sub!

[@fishfreak6291]

Wow. Bro you do some amazing work. You just got a new subscriber and a thumbs up for every video you have. 👍

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks man! Very kind of you :)

[@cadams6702]

Hell yes! Well done

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks buddy! And thanks for the insight for the smoke!

[@TheBreadator117]

Whaouuu amazing !

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thank you!

[@danielhawthorn5338]

Hi mark, great job. Im following it myself. What size shaft did you use in his mouth? or can you add the link to it please and also the flexible hose.

[@MonkeyPuppet]

Mind blowing !

[@TheAndyroo770]

That's awesome dude. I stumbled upon this video during a search. I'm currently investigating miniatures and printing my own poorly slapped together Godzilla attacking a mini city using existing models. Got me thinking about retaining higher detail by putting together dioramas in mesh mixer using added fence posts/bushes/buildings/whatever is easy to print, looks good and is suitable etc as support material for other miniatures in the scene using clever positioning to reduce required supports whilst adding details to the scene, then merging all models as a single mesh/shell. Print times would be long but cleaning supports less necessary and cool scenes! What do you reckon?

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Honestly I think you'll struggle with it! Meshmixer is not the most reliable of apps at the best of times, and that sounds like a pretty complicated thing for it!

[@TheAndyroo770]

@@MarkRhodesMaker I gave up on that idea and just got better at adding/removing supports!

[@andreamazzoli2971]

Awesome !!

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks Andrea!

[@welbot]

Gorgeous stuff!! :)

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks Welbot!

[@welbot]

@@MarkRhodesMaker Most welcome! Still blows me away how cool this looks when I see it pop up in thumbnails here and there! :D

[@JAYTEEAU]

Freaking awesome Mark. I learned a heap. Thanks 👍

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks Jaytee! Glad I could give you a few nuggets of knowledge :)

[@14kip]

Amazing ☺️very skilful .i have just completed a diorama with Godzilla .will upload a vid soon .youre vid helped with the lighting many thsnks

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Glad I could help! Would love to see yours when it's done!

[@Wander4P]

Also, I'm surprised the 3.7 V LiPo works fine without a 5 V boost converter

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

I was surprised the first time I tried it, but since then I just use the 3.7V Lipos for everything. They are so cheap and convenient, way easier than 5V or using 18650s.

[@ToonGrin]

A beautiful build, Mark. Maybe consider across over with the Aussie KZbinr Jazza, dude also does amazing work. This was a solid video the only constructive criticism to give is to relocate your mike as it seems your beard was taping against it. Just perhaps move it a bit lower on your shirt or slightly askew to avoid contact and you should be aces.

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Thanks for the feedback! My beard has gotten longer, and I didn't realise the noise until it was too late. Noted for next time :) I'll check out Jazza

[@asiaipiotrekczochara3353]

Forgot to put blue diod to make smoke blue

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Asia i Piotrek Czochara actually the light was blue/white, it's just hard to see on the camera 🙂

[@Wander4P]

Awesome! What flavor vape juice did you use? ; )

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

Wander neutral propylene glycol, but I have some apple in the vape for a new project. My workshop smells amazing!

[@Wander4P]

The github page seems to be missing the aquarium pump on the parts list and fritzing diagram. Is it wired in parallel with the vape cartridge to the relay?

[@MarkRhodesMaker]

All fixed up, thanks for the tip off! New manifest has the pump in it. :)
