Giant Magnemite - Pokemon

Watch this video to see more of the life-size Magnemite:\r\n\r\nIt's a massive Magnemite that I'm extremely passionate about! As a huge Pokémon fan, I was looking for something with a relatively simple shape to demonstrate my modeling process for an upcoming video. So Magnemite was perfect. Then I drew inspiration from The 3D Printing Nerd to make him gigantic!\r\nThis didn't take too long to model. It was roughly 3 hours when all was ready to print. This model is broken up into a few easier-to-print parts. The main sphere is in 2 parts with the eye on one side and the back being just a half-sphere. Then there are 2 magnets with a magnet pin to allow the magnets to rotate freely in the socket, providing a little more accuracy to the character. Then there are 3 screws that will fit perfectly into the corresponding holes on the model. This model can be scaled up or down pretty easily as well. The smaller version was just scaled down from the big one.\r\nThe big version was printed on my Robo3D in PLA and it took close to 40 hours to print everything. The smaller version was printed on my Da Vinci 1.0 Pro in ABS and took about 14 hours to print.\r\nAfter that, my wife attempted to guide me through her painting/post-processing techniques. The smaller one was finished by me, as you can probably tell by the quality. And the bigger one was finished beautifully by my wife. I will have a few upcoming videos that completely show these processes from start to finish.\r\nPrint Settings:Printer (Big Magnemite): Robo3D R1Printer (Small Magnemite): Da Vinci 1.0 ProFilament (Big Magnemite): Hatchbox PLAFilament (Small Magnemite): XYZprinting ABSLayer Height: 0.3mmInfill: 15%Supports/Raft: Yes
