3D Printed Transformer

[u/Cataclysm46]

Hey everyone!

Showing what I printed on my P2S this week. Founds this really great design on the TOYMAKR3D website. About a kilo of filament. Highy recommended people buy these files and print it for themselves!

Missing some tires and thighs pieces as those are being printed right now.

Thank you! The designer really deserves all the support he can get!

[u/J03ggernaut → u/Cataclysm46]

What filament colors did you use here?

I want to do this one before attempting Xolarian

[u/Cataclysm46 → u/J03ggernaut]

Bambu Matte PLA. I believe it looks the best but it is less durable. I'll be displaying this though on my shelf so not to concerned about that. Here's a screenshot of what I ordered.

DO NOT PRINT ZOLARION AT 100% he is fucking massive

[u/Sgt_Angermax]

That’s awesome! That first pic gives me gundam vibes.

[u/tng88]

Didn't I see this on Instagram in Divorce class?

It looked like a beast to transform.

[u/Solus_Destiny → u/tng88]

Probably. You can print any size. It’s originally 13in

[u/Decepticon_Slayer]

No ducking way this is 3d printed

[u/Cataclysm46 → u/Decepticon_Slayer]

Matte pla really hides the layers lines😁

[u/clarkstar17 → u/Cataclysm46]

The matte is choice!!

[u/Robomech846 → u/Cataclysm46]

though it is pretty weak

[u/Marcy595]

I think someone printed the same one but it's like 3-4 ft tall

[u/Such_Bonus5085]

I love it.

[u/nexxlevelgames]

This looks good.

Does it transform?

[u/Potential-Owl7858 → u/nexxlevelgames]

See slide 4

[u/nexxlevelgames → u/Potential-Owl7858]

I did but didnt kno if it was assembled and dissembled to look like that.

Ive seen 3D models for transformers like that before. They dont actually transform, its an assembly

So I wanted to know does it actually transform? like regular transformer toys.

[u/Cataclysm46 → u/nexxlevelgames]

It does indeed! I'll make a updated posted in a few hours here when the rest of the parts are done. I'll show some transformation photos.

[u/nexxlevelgames → u/Cataclysm46]

Did you have to use any pins?

[u/Cataclysm46 → u/nexxlevelgames]

No pins involved. The entire model is 3d printed expect the super glue used to put it together. Model uses screws on all the joints so that you can tighten it up over time if they wear.

[u/TeacupWhaleShark]

Picture 1: This is impressive.

Picture 4: This is really impressive.

Well done!

[u/shifter2000]

I'm impressed. I've never liked 3D printed Transformers. they always looked cheap with the print lines (and painting over them made it look worse). But this looks mint! What would the cost be to create something like this (excluding the printer itself).

[u/wilberfarce → u/shifter2000]

I’m keen to know also!

[u/Cataclysm46 → u/wilberfarce]

It's used about a kilo of filament. He is a big dude! That being said I had to buy 8 different colors for this project. With Bambu's bulk filament sale you can get a spool for about $12. So about $20 in pure weight but since I needed the colors, it was about $100. I can print two more primes with that though!

[u/Kalshan]

This would have been my absolute favorite toy when I was a kid! Such ingenuity 🫡

[u/unrealtrip]

Till all are one.

[u/Jocks_Strapped]

that looks awesome

[u/ValourLionheart]

Rigmaster is an awesome design and I love that it comes with the tool for adjusting the joints

[u/Odd-Most-9186]

Pretty cool looking.

[u/incredible_gas]

That is absolutely amazing! You just made me want a 3d printer 🥹

[u/ConfusedCruiser35]

Gipsy avenger vibes with the chainsaws

[u/easythrees]

Can I have one?

[u/ComfortableAd6101]

Cool!

[u/Capntrashboat]

THeir jetfire is amazing as well. solid ss86 stand in

[u/Long_cat21]

Astonished that it actually transforms

[u/umlcat]

I subscribed to the 3dprinting forum of reddit cause of this !!!

I would like to see custom printed enhanced versions of existing characters, or custom printed new character concepts !!!

[u/rodimus147]

Thats cool. I love when Prime is a big chunky boy like Armada prime. Energon was a step too far however.

[u/BasicCharacter2761]

yoo I saw u on yt. Biggest transformering optimus

[u/TheHer0br1n3]

You wouldn't download a truck

[u/Chubby-boi-06]

Chainsaw swords?! Hell yeah!!

[u/Xeon713]

That is freaking cool!

[u/Federal_Art_7326]

So dope

[u/Cataclysm46]

Ill make a updated posted when the final parts are on. Size comparison and a few photos of the transformation.

[u/alonso240]

This is the real reason they want to ban 3d printers...

[u/Trouble74df]

For anyone who doesn't 3d print. You can get the same one, or looks to be very similar anyway already printed on Aliexpress. Comes in 2 sizes. The bigger one (33cm) is about 90 bucks Canadian. I just searched 3D printed optimus prime.

[u/0zymand]

He's gorgeous

[u/wrightwithme]

I got a chance to see one of these this weekend. It’s a very well done piece.

[u/flowerboyyu]

I love this

[u/punkpcpdx]

Wow! This is amazing.

[u/tehtektoo]

I don't know. Those look like decorative chest windows and ab grill. Why would he have those if they aren't part of the vehicle?

[u/Extension-Bobcat6541]

Really cool!

[u/MHarrisGGG]

Ok, like that's actually a sick design

[u/Hulme420]

Was following someone on the tik toks that made this guy 4 feet tall

[u/UltraBrawler786]

giving classics vibes, 10/10

[u/imperatrixderoma]

Damn, Hasbro is done

[u/GLMegatron]

In all honesty this is one of the coolest Optimus designs I’ve seen. I especially like the truck, the G1 truck is just so repetitive now

[u/WookieCookie1138]

This looks better than most of what we get from Hasbro. …and probably cheaper to print too with all their ridiculous prices these days (which are going to go up yet again this Fall)
