Full Size Optimus Prime Cos-Play Costume

thingiverse

Sorry for not posting sooner but I wanted to make this a big surprise. This Print is based off a Toy that I enlarged to 6 feet tall and hollowed out for the Full Size Costume. The first Few Pictures are of the Toy so I could get some measurements for the Full Size Costume. I spent at least 300 to 400 hours printing this Costume, using about ten rolls of filament, with most parts being .4mm thick layer down to .2mm layer depending on part and Support. You will have to adjust your printer according to your finish, as this was done on Both my CoreXY Printers and my extra Larger Delta Printer. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2731724 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2718545 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2414471 I adjusted the Z Axis down to 340mm per step to make the shell stronger but just a little shorter since this will be a costume and will have to endure 20 hours of wearing it. I only started printing this Costume less than two weeks ago, so it is a Print In Progress. Parts will be updated and removed as it progresses to the finish product, so expect parts to be added and removed. This will be my biggest 3D build up to date, with my last 3D Build being my Dalek. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2576488 All the parts listed here were printed hollow with a 2mm thick shell. The original pieces came from a 3D Printed Optimus Prime Toy I found online and enlarged to 6 feet tall then hollowed out. Some parts are from that original toy but then some parts I changed to make the costume look like a newer Optimus Prime. The original Optimus Prime which this costume is based off of is located here: https://cults3d.com/en/3D-model/art/optimus-prime This is still a work in progress, with only the Lower Legs and a few Garments left to print, but I should be done in the next month. You will need a larger printer to print these parts, as each part takes anywhere from 4 hours to print up to 20 hours to print. You can print these parts on smaller printers, but expect to spend double the time printing this. I hope you enjoy this as I had plenty of headaches along the way, but it is coming along just fine. Included in this are the Full Size Optimus Prime with 2 different heads, 3 different Swords, 2 different Gas tanks, 2 different Shoulders, and Optimus Primer's Gen 1 Blaster and other parts from other Prime versions that I thought would look nice in full size. Every part in this is for a full-size 6-foot-tall costume, with every piece split into two or four or even eight parts so it can be printed on my extra-large printers. If you plan to print these parts on a smaller printer than what I have listed in this description, then you will have to split the pieces even smaller. 3-2-2018: I've just uploaded a Brand New Sword Of Judgment. I hope you like it. It was the best I could do with the software I had on hand. Expect this sword to be updated as I get into better detail on the sword and include Cybertonium Language embossed on the sword. https://tfsource.com/sword-of-judgement/ 3-2-2018: Update - just got done printing all the parts for this Costume with a total of 15 rolls of filament and 430+ hours of printing. I will be putting it all together in the next few weeks and should have a finished product to show by end of April Beginning to Mid May of 2018. 4-6-2018: As of today, I've got done printing all the parts for this Costume with a total of 15 rolls of filament and 430+ hours of printing.

Next step will be to paint and put together. 6-12-2018: I've removed the 4-part Upper Weist stl file and left the whole Upper Weist stl, you will have to part this item for your needs. Sorry for the problems with my STL Files. 7-1-2018: Update - Just got done with my latest Comic-Con and I have updated the final pictures of the Finished Optimus Prime. The complete Costume was so bulky that it was hard to walk around in, but I used a Swagtron Off-Road Hover Board to get around. Hope you enjoy. I've also added a few more parts that I printed to complete Optimus Prime. On a different note, the total time to print all parts from start to finish is over 700 hours to print.
