Jabba the Hutt (Small & Life Size)

myminifactory

This is a model I commissioned from Josh Smith at Beast Toys for use in a series of YouTube videos where I printed it at (more or less) life size. It's detailed enough to hold up even at that scale, although there will be a small amount of faceting in places. The smaller version is about the right size for 3 3/4" action figures. I recommend using the flat-bottom version in most cases, since it will print much better and require only a little support under the arms and tail. The life-size version is about 10.5 feet long by 5.5 feet tall. Obviously, it will need to be cut up into pieces to be printable. I'm not sharing the cut-up version I used because I had some issues with it and think it would be better to cut up the model to fit your needs and your printer. In my case, I hollowed it out and sliced it into pieces that I printed at about 1 cm thick, but I'd recommend using thicker shells – maybe 1 inch thick or more. I also used a .8mm nozzle to make printing faster. Check out my YouTube videos for more information about how I printed the life-size version. If you print this, please post a picture here or tweet me @mightyjabba on Twitter. https://youtu.be/5aE8cWbiAN8 https://youtu.be/GMyucNXPgHk https://youtu.be/XhPPiMLh9Ls
