While I love Tote, as a kid, I always pretended he was ironhide. Since you have it in cad, any chance of making a micromaster Ironhide with that car mode?
Made a some small upgrades for this small diarobo garbage truck figure to improve the proportions and solidity
I can recommend, they’re like better designed and painted legion figures just the plastic quality is slightly worse but the paint and clear plastic kind of makes up for that, the tolerances on some parts are a little wonky but don’t seem to be wearing down, and there’s not really any tabs but my upgrade helps with that a bit and stay intergrated with the transformation. the chest part does prevent a couple steps too but that’s completely intentional and for the better
True, they’d totally make for some neat little junkions especially with their background character non faces
Here is a Pyro set I worked on this week. For most..probably the guns are the only thing most want to pull from this. I'm in the middle of working this custom so it will be seen how it comes together once I make the post. It requires a POTP Inferno AND Onslaught(luckily, this figure has been KO'd to death). I'll be using a head/chest from shapeways. The guns require 1mm pins to fully assemble. Download free STL file Pyro Set • 3D printing design ・ Cults
Hiya, looking for criticism on my WIP War Within Ironhide. It's an early WIP as I hope to add detail and such further down the line. Also I'm aware that the arms are identical, I need to figure out if I can flip whole parts in solidworks. Oh, he's going to be transforming too, hopefully
Cheers! The windscreen's pretty thin, I think. It's one of the first bits I made quickly so I'll be completely redoing it later on with a different overall shape, level of detail and it'll be a decent thickness. I dunno how I'll actually print that though..
Got 4/5 of a G1 Defensor but it was missing some of the combiner parts. Time to do a little 3D modeling. First up is the chest pieces. I put the files up for download here if anyone wants them: 3D Printing: Transformers G1 Defensor combiner chest parts (FREE)
This user on Cults is giving away their non-transforming Circuit model for free through today. The 3D models of mmshightail ・ Cults It's based on a non-transforming character and also has a vehicle that becomes an exosuit, so it's a pretty good package. Also, they have some other figures up I plan on buying for future projects. I particularly like their Beast Wars Nyx.
Speaking of that figure and that user, I'm a good part of the way through printing it for myself. I took this photo on saturday, so I actually have all of this painted and pinned together and the rest of his leg details printed and waiting to be painted and added. I'm also working on printing his arms now.
You're doing gods work, Considering Raiden is compatible with defensor's hand pieces im sure alot of Raiden owners will appreciate what you're doing here when suddenly hands are no longer a thousand dollar option. I also notice you have other combiner parts, i'll be sure to buy those bruticus bits for my spare ruination!
Finished printing Circuit. His paint job is kind of messy but I'm pretty happy with him overall. (Just ignore that one leg is totally off the peg, it keeps doing that and I have to re-pin it.)
Thanks! I’m mostly just trying to fill in the missing pieces I can’t find easily (or cheaply) elsewhere. Hopefully simply organizing links for a character (both my models, and those on Thingiverse/Cults3D) will make it easier for someone else. also, I finished the G1 Defensor hip armor and added it to page/download.
I've been figuring out some things with my new printer and just did my first Transformers project, KraegorStark's Froid. It turns out well in resin and I can't wait to paint this up. I have a plate of Rusticon's Guzzle parts printing now and then I'll get that Circuit done. I haven't touched my FDM printer in a while. It was very finicky about leveling and I got sick of dealing with it. I just got a CR Touch autoleveller, so I hope to be getting good projects from both printers soon.
Started printing another of Hightail Creations' bots, Swerve. I got a bunch of parts printed and wanted to start putting him together annnnd...somehow between friday and now my steel pins have disappeared. I'm trying a new resin mix with this one, 75/25 Anycubic Eco white and Sirayatech Tenacious for a little extra flexibility, since this one actually transforms. Seems to be working nicely so far as the parts are definitely less brittle than the pure Anycubic I used for Circuit. The Sirayatech is hella expensive, so I'm making the most of having a 1 kilo bottle. I'm going to be trying a 50/50 of it with some water washable grey resin I got and print some of Toymakr3D's bots. I'm interested to see if upping the amount of flex resin will work better for bots that have ball joints instead of pinned ones. The little bit of flex resin in the Anycubic mix was good for being able to pop on the ball joint on Swerve's neck, but it was also no larger than your average neck ball and certainly not the size of a limb joint.
