Posted · Mr Eames: 30cm tall character

Hi, I generally post my photos in the main sticky post, but I thought maybe this one deserved it's own thread. This is my first completed project. So far I have only been printing busts and small objects, but no large size character. This is a new milestone and I hope the first of many.

Unfortunately, I won't get to keep this one, this is for friend's birthday tomorrow. This is a model he made. I will eventually print a new version for myself, and since I modeled his wife, I will print her too and have them stand together.

The model is divided in the following parts: the jacket, the pants, the shoes, the hand, the head and the glasses.

The shoes, head and glasses were printed at 0.06mm while the rest of the body was printed at 0.1mm.

No real difficulty in that print except for the glasses, which forced me to go below 0.1mm for the first time

Since the legs were the biggest part, I scaled them the biggest I could print and then scaled the other parts accordingly. the legs are 18.5cm tall, I did not want to push it to the limit an keep a safe zone. Once assembled, the whole thing stands about 30cm tall.

I wanted to give it a real paint job with colors but I was too short on time. I only had two weeks to prepare the model (the longest part), print it, clean it and paint it. In fact the printing part was the shortest, I did it over one weekend.

So I just primed it with gray and sprayed it with a very nice stainless steel paint.

I then glued the character to a small round mirror because he would not stand up

 

Edit: Here is a WIP shot

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
