Robocop Head Bust Full and Split Free 3D print model

One off the Bucket list, a fully realized Robocop Head. The actual helmet part was found years ago on a site that has long since disappeared, but it had always stayed with me; a lingering obsession to give life to this long abandoned dream. I carefully dug up every fragment, fashioned a complete head, built a solid foundation and a robust neck, filling out the features bit by bit until they felt real enough. Several trials at printing yielded subpar results, until the breakaway print you see was born – a far more reliable model that showcased my persistence. For those interested in seeing this take on a whole new level, I have provided a full bust version that you can print, if you so desire. Please note however, due to the complex nature of the entire helmet piece, specifically with regards to its design and multiple segments, it may still be open to change at some point; particularly as I am working tirelessly on crafting an equally stunning full-scale mask – details to be revealed soon enough. Before you begin your own printing endeavors, let me lay out some basic instructions: Pinting. For a swift test print, which in total took approximately 110 minutes and reached 5.3 cm in height when using the 80ms settings with 0.2mm layer resolution – an infinitely compact build to start with – make sure not to require raft, and that no infill will be required for this part; however, as it was essential to use some kind of support in certain places within my initial design. In its present state (as I currently have a few models printing off in various stages), it appears rather neat with only two small, extremely easy-to-remove supports that you will not see right off the bat. To recap then: Printing: This version features a minimalist approach for all intents and purposes. Raft – no; Infill – no (but I had to break up larger solid parts); Support material used to bridge very delicate sections on either side of its rather prominent nose, easily removable upon printing completion – in essence nothing difficult is needed as such clean-ups were never going to occur anyway. I chose black filament which captures a most wonderful "plastic look". For that Robo-Jaw effect I attempted at incorporating more realistic flexibility with black flex filaments similar to the 'metal' cowl piece that appeared somewhat "rubbery", yet maintained its visual illusion perfectly; and it is exactly because it looks almost the same way in my machine settings, except we run into a snag: one could not reasonably use so large a cowl segment since size-wise (mine limited by 22cm x 14.5cm) that problem can easily prevent printing entirely! I tried solving this by designing some hidden cavities for magnetic connection parts – thus it makes perfect sense that those segments fit together. What do you say? In my honest view, taking all things considered and trying not to repeat steps multiple times like with every little detail when designing - that really isn't easy as far as being convenient for removing this full mask. The way it turned out seems about as optimal so the next best decision came from working backward. A few last comments in conclusion regarding making this entire figure of Robo or T800 a success; to achieve either fully-fleshed model you would likely have to be incredibly devoted. But why? In that sense: what's left at issue isn't with your actual abilities so much as perhaps with sheer size (I do truly feel it will work). Nonetheless if one goes too deep - in many more parts there exist which cannot fit; it looks simple though. I've worked out both alternatives right now and to see which has better 'sustenance', you can model those to compare their progress, at least as to decide how much work there would indeed be put forward to give the most optimal outcome without running into unnecessary issues – just that it is somewhat like giving birth: I believe so. You're on your own as far as printing an entirely wearable suit – that was really something and one that requires patience in making each small element, and even more important the correct design for fitting perfectly so every part works like it should. *Post scriptum: Have you ever thought what exactly the company logo represented on my 3D Printer's side is? The infamous OCP – which originally brought forth that wonderful, nostalgic feeling inside. Yes it might sound rather odd as it seems more fitting with another film. Yet it's all connected I promise!*
