If you're completely new to 3D design, I'd recommend starting with Tinkercad. It's free, has a very accessible user interface, and is easy to get the hang of in terms of how it operates and the rules it follows. Also, buy yourself a cheap digital caliper so that you can take very accurate measurements of things when you're creating designs. You'll usually want to work in dimensions within a hundredth of a millimeter when making TF related things. Be sure to watch and absorb every Youtube video on beginning 3D design and printing that you can stand watching as well; you'll quickly sort through which folks are helpful and which aren't. Lastly, even though it's old school, buy a few beginner books on 3D design and printing so that you can start to grasp someof the terminology that's common in both. I'd been drafting since I was a kid since my dad was an architect/engineer, and my degree is in Industrial/Product Design, but even though that helped, I still mostly learned everything I'm doing right now from research on Youtube and just reading articles online and in books. Be patient and you'll eventually get the hang of things. =)

 

Can you make g1 Bee action figure using mp45 as reference lol

 

I could... but I won't. I think MP-45 is horrible. =P

 

Ofc you will need to erase all the kibbles..

 

please.

Advice on software and printer,

 

Looks awesome, dude. Can't wait to see him painted. And agree 100% about Fanstoys

 

Thanks for checking this project out! I just ordered my first ever airbrush setup so I can finally learn how to use one, so I'm hoping to get him painted up over the next few weeks. Always have to keep progressing the bag of tricks. =)

 

Bravo. This is a fantastic design.

 

Yooooooo What The!!!!!!  
This looks freaking amazing!!!!! Is 3D printing our own transformers the next big frontier?!!!! I'm definitely getting into this!   Fanstoys & Has/Tak!

 

Fanstoys Acoustic Wave model, basic build done, now just need to add all the edgework, detailing, and joints, then it's print time.

 

  !!!

proceed...

 

First test print of the upper body, head, and cassette tray. So far so good.

 

Well now the early photos are out for Thomas I'll say yours looks a lot better. Well done for making an excellent robot mode and saving yourself the best of $230

 

Yeah, I saw those photos, and the back of that guy looks ridiculous. Not to toot my own horn, but... I like my homemade figure much better. =p

 

First complete test fit print done, now proceeding to final prints with his weapons and sh*t. =P

 

I second that request please!!

 

Masterful work.

 

Thank you for NOT making Soundwave have the front crotch flap like TT Hotrod.

 

I get (and answer) this question a lot nowadays, so here's the short answer:
