Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow 3D Printed Figures Part 1

In this exciting episode, I build a pair of 1/8 scale 3D printed figures of two of my favorite GI Joe’s.

Glad to see you're back at it. You nailed it, those are called supports in 3D printing.

I do commission 3d printing and painting. And sometimes the prints warp when being printed which will account for the variation.

[@lokiwartooth1138]

If you buy some iv resin it can help with smoothing areas that have defects from support removal.

I think putting the parts together first, and making the seams as small as possible would be a better strategy. You can always shave the pegs off later to make the model fit on the stand. Would save time.

[@seanerk5kt9]

I tried that with Timber and he wasn’t close to fitting on the base. The base is sculpted in such a way that the feet sit on it in a very specific location. If I had tried to shave the pegs, I would have also had to re sculpt the location on the base where the feet sit and then figure out a way to secure the feet (ie posts). This would have been a ton more work than just filling a larger gap in the pants.

[@lokiwartooth1138]

I’ve printed this same model and my timber sits fine mine is 1-6 scale.

At last, thank you!

Never let anything stick to your tool....keep it wet...cause it hurts coming off when dry 😜
