Tusks: The 3D-Printable Piano Transformer!

thingiverse

A huge thanks to all of you for hitting 6.8K views! I'm thrilled! I decided to give building a transformer a shot, and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out! You'll be able to find the model on Shapeways soon, but they set their prices quite high. However, I am open to doing custom work for those interested in creating and selling this character. If you're interested, just hit me up to discuss pricing. The model comes in three sizes: ~7cm (Legion), ~10cm (Legends), and ~14cm (Deluxe). To print it, simply isolate the model you want and hit print! The Legion and Legends sizes will fit on a 12x12cm print bed, but the Deluxe version requires at least 13x13cm of space. The individual parts are designed at Legends scale to prevent corruption. Remember to scale them down before printing! I'll be keeping an eye on feedback, so once you've printed him out, make sure to leave some! I might tweak and change features based on what you all have to say. You can also find the model on Cults3D here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/tusks-the-3d-printable-piano-transformer The inspiration for this project came from here: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tusks Updates: Update 0.5: I've uploaded the individual parts. To get them to transformer scale, just do the following: Legion: 0.5x Legends: 0.715x Deluxe: 0.928x Update 0.4: I loosened up the swivel joints a bit so assembly is easier. Update 0.3: I removed an extra ankle connector that somehow ended up on the print bed. Update 0.2: I added a "crack" to the rib connectors so they attach better, and fixed a slip-up where I forgot to mirror the left thigh. Update 0.1: I added the Legion, Legends, and Deluxe scales separately for easier printing. I also improved the tolerances on the shoulder joint so it's more sturdy.
