Colossus of Rhodes

thingiverse

The Statue of Rhodes rises majestically, its massive frame reaching an astonishing height of 66 cm. Every component is meticulously glued together with a robust two-part epoxy, forming an unyielding union. Initially, I had to print the intricate bow and arrows as standalone pieces due to recurring failures when attempting to integrate them into the main body. This strategic decision allowed me to overcome the technical challenges that previously hindered the printing process. Fortunately, no supports were required during the printing phase, ensuring a seamless and efficient production process. The Colossus's copper finish is expertly achieved through a meticulous spray-painting technique, resulting in a stunning metallic sheen that perfectly captures the essence of this ancient wonder.
