Epic! I tried to make one as small as I could (mk6+ stepstruder, 1.75mm abs). Had some problems with the arm, but otherwise turned out awesome. Total height: 70mm - I think the gun was at the limit of what my printer can do, size wise.
You should still leave the original. Support is experimental but it will be solved eventually...
This is awesome, but with a few changes to the arm position to reduce overhangs it should be printable on a makerbot without support... I might give it a try with some experimental support options turned on when I get a chance.
Beautifully done! Print and gold plate it! (shouldn't he have a bigger sack?) ;)
Thanks. I wish I could print it, don't have one of 'em nifty 3d printers unfortunately. I did actually consider the "Anthony Weiner" effect, but thought that while Tek has that sleazy pulp soap opera theme to him that sleaze still remains on a mostly suggestive level.


Love this model.
Any chance you can put up a version with the gun arm not pointing so straight up?
Sorry to be a pain as I can see you were asked to make the change already to reduce the overhang. To be honest overhangs are not really such a massive problem as 30 (or is that 70) degree overhangs print very eas
ily on my Ultimaker (I can do more of an overhang) and it would really help the pose.
Break those 'limits' !
I'm afraid making further changes is a time investment I'd rather not revisit, I spent quite a bit more time on this project than I initially planned (though it was a fun learning experience). Maybe one day when I'll get a 3dprinter of my own. :)
