Jumbo Christmas - Santa Claus

cults3d

My updated project was uploaded - see latest updates below. I rearranged the pictures so that the latest version comes up first. I wanted a particular look for my 4x Santa figure, if possible. Took bits and pieces from various 4x figure-based sources and combined them (thanks everyone for their hard work). Skimbal's 4x figure was the main basis. The beard from KySyth did not print well, so I used some filler and paint to complete it. However, RetroRocketUK's 5x beard might be a better option: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2675661 (scale to 80% for a 4x figure). I may also try jolyrogr's beard version: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2432524. The project turned out almost exactly how I wanted it. I'll re-print the legs, using black boots and red tops (filament swap halfway up the legs). I'll also try to re-print the body section, including a black belt at the bottom of the body before the main body starts printing red (again, filament swap); I'll add a gold buckle if I can find something suitable on Thingiverse. Once my CR-10 S4 arrives, I'll be looking at creating an 8x version to match the size of the printed Nutcrackers I did...I'll also try to put together Christmas Elves or two to match. UPDATE: March 18 I re-printed the boots and hips using black for the boots and a filament swap to red at about 42%. The project is now complete, with the addition of the belt/buckle making my Santa look more like Santa. Very happy with the result. Just printing the Santa Toy Sack in green; I'll add some final photos when it's all complete...I will try and create an Elf or two, or matching Mrs. Claus for my next project. UPDATE: March 27 Printed the Toy Sack in green - turned out well, although the fit in the hand was not tight enough. I printed at 700%, so probably use 725%-750% for a good fit...I used 2 small strips of painter's tape on top of each other and over the handle; it now fits snug in the hand. UPDATE: April 7 Added a mug in green - I used SE_2018's Bunch Of Cups thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2835593 My Santa Claus is now complete! Mrs. Claus is also complete and I've included a picture of them together.
