is there any godzilla related stuff out there for 3D printing?

[MartyS (Gromit)]

That shower head is hilarious.

Doing some searching and I don't see much Godzilla stuff.  At least nothing that looks worth printing.

Shouldn't that be a Dilophosaurus skull?

ooo, good point. someone with a CAD program and a 3D printer get on that for me.

Too bad that's not the kind of CAD modeling I do. I'm a mechanical engineer.

Been printing a few parts a day for the complete T-Rex skeleton.

21 prints down, 95 more to go, might be done by mid March:

awesome.

Got some more done on the T-Rex:



Getting the hip area glued in place is going to be a challenge, the hip, femurs, spine, and ilia are all independent bones, the only good connection point between them all are the tops of the femur bones.

[MartyS (Gromit)]

Put a big blob of glue on the spine to hold the hip and femurs, hope it holds:

That's probably how God designed them.

Quite a bit more progress being stuck inside all day today:



Going to have to print a stand for it, no way it will balance on those legs even after I finish the tail, and the CA glue isn't the strongest so wouldn't want to have it standing on those legs anyway.

[MartyS (Gromit)]

And now it has arms, stupid, tiny arms... 

And a stand:



Just 38 tail bones to print out now, been trying to combine them into groups but not having the same luck I had with the feet and arms, so it looks like I'll have to print out each one separately.

[goflyblind]

yaaaaay!

It looks like the stand layering is built up from the bottom. How do you prevent the tall posts from just breaking off? At work we have stuff called Ambroid, which is like a thin glue. But even that isn't guaranteed.
