Voltron 3d print

[Crimmson]

My daughter recently discovered Voltron much to my glee. She has to have everything Voltron. I originally wanted to pep her a Voltron prop, but i found some Voltron 3d models online one which is transformable. the one i am printing right now is from Jurica at myminfactory. It is a really great model and free. I also got the one from cgtrader as well(paid) but it is awesome, but unfinished. I plan to print it, sand it and build a present box with some packages of model paint. I want to give it to my daughter unpainted so that she can paint it.

Jurica's model

cgtrader

will be printing this next as soon as i am done with the first model

dang it.

back on track

will up date later tonight.

Here is the front half of the black lions chest. initial clean up, removed print supports etc.

this thing was crazy stuck

starting the back half of the chest, going to watch the first layers and skirt print then its meemee's time.

 

[Crimmson]

well the print looks good to go, still have a long way to go. good thing i took a week and a half vacation from work. the first of the neck pieces is on the bed cooking right now.

back half of black lion chest

this thing is going to be big, yes

 

[Crimmson]

finished the neck pieces. finished the first piece of the face but it broke on the support mount for the pin. i was able to repair it, but i probably will just reprint it at a lower print quality as i had 0.6mm i will bump it up to 0.1mm. i hope this fixes this or keeeps it from happening again. the lower jaw is on the bed cooking right meow.

temp only not glued or final sanding

on the print surface

broken print

quick fix with the broken piece and superglue

see you guys and gals and other soon

 

[Crimmson]

got the head printed out, but i dont look forward to the clean up work after removing all of the print supports. i need to find some rods to install in the side of the head to keep together. going to give the printer a break for tonight.

the height on what i have printed so far is 6 inches top to bottom.

good luck on all your prints and peps and foamies

 

[Crimmson]

dang son these prints are getting longer and longer. anyways here is some progress.this thing is going to be huuuugggge.

what i have printed so far, both of the hips fr and bk, right shoulder fr and bk. the left shoulder is on the bed cooking.

a lot of clean work is still needed inside the joints.
just in case you are wondering, all the joints move and swivel. kind of hard to tell with static pics but they do.

 

[Crimmson]

got the left shoulder done, glued the right shoulder together. relearned a lesson when sticking to item together. Make, make absolutely sure it is aligned. i was able to salvage the right shoulder and re-glue it. now, decision time. print the rest of the small parts together or separately? maybe in sections.

started on the sanding, right shoulder only. i should printed at a thicker wall. too late

8 inches tall!!!!

 

[Crimmson]

Voltron black lion is starting to take shape. glued the shoulder, printed out the leg joints and the right leg. started the primary sanding pass with fine emery cloth. the left leg is on the printer(7 hr print). after that will be all of the rods.

8 days worth of printing, well really 7 ish.

once i get the black lion completed, should i print the arms or the legs?


also any gundam fans or mecha fans. i am working on setting up the gundam exia to have joints and 3d print.
trying to figure out the knee, elbow and ankle.

i have the shoulder and left arm semi done. hopefully i can get this done soon, but i have no time schedule. enjoy

I have the blue lion about 90 percent printed but I am out of town so no pics yet.

When you are done we should compare scale (I have the original toy). I'm betting yours will be bigger.

i only wish i still had all of my toys from my child hood, not for the monetary value. i could then give them to my daughters to play with them. next best thing is to make the toys for them and hope that they will like them more.

Lieutenant Jaku this thing is probably a good 18 inches tall

still need to finish the blue lion paws and tail. the black lion lacks the tail and wings. i will start on the yellow lion next.

edit:

i think the blue lion has worms.

 

[Crimmson]

small quick update, the yellow lion is coming along just nicely.

good luck on your projects and have fun.

 

[Crimmson]

some more progress pics.

also, i made a custom head band for my daughters hair. its just all five voltron lions heads and boleaned them onto a head band and started printing it out at 120 mm. will post pics later as its a
16 hour print.

here is the blender model pic

quick update on volts. still got clean up work and such left. printing out the last lion right now.
volts already has battle damage from my daughters playing with it as is. i am planning on modeling a stand of some sort or throne / chair. yeah

looks like volts got hurtin put on him.

good luck on all your builds, peps and prints

 

[stratop]

man, you really deserves the heaven, thank you so much

 

[Crimmson]

man, you really deserves the heaven, thank you so much

You are welcome and thank you. good luck on your voltron build.

here is the update on volts.

and with that it is semi complete. my daughter doesnt want to paint it, she wants it as is. oh well. as far as a stand or chair havent designed one yet.

next on the printer is the paladin bayard. then the helmet which both are readily available online. i am working on the paladin armor for 3d print which i am modeling myself. i havent gotten to the point to where i can show off progress picks yet as i keep restarting the chest. maybe i should start with the arms and legs just to get further along. good luck aon all your builds, peps and prints.

Be sure to post your paladin build when you have enough progress on it! I've been binge watching Voltron and would love to see more Voltron stuff!
