3D printing a 1:1 Terminator T-800 endoskeleton

If you don't want to go thru the hassle of printing on your own machine, there is an SLA printing service offered by board member Jediguy that will have the whole thig delivered to your front door in 3 weeks. (It is pictured above in white) at a cost of about $2500.

That sounds a lot but considering both the price of SLA prints anywhere and the labour required to post-process FDM prints that is a good deal.

Sadly well beyond my means, but it's good to know.

It says that the model is no longer available. Do you know of a way to contact the maker of it or another place it can be bought from him? So far it's the best T-800 model I've seen

the maker is in russia, and as such, CGtrader isnt letting him sell.

yes, you can get the model from either 3dexport.com/djon or renderhub.com/the-djon
 
Hi there! I have started reading this thread a couple years ago and started my own journey with a lifesize endoskeleton.
I bought that 3D model mentioned above, (I bought one on sale for $119).
I never liked the T-800 models or products with an enclosed chest, so I started learning Blender to edit the torso.
This has taken me on a rabbit hole well over a year long editing that model.
I want to begin by saying that the CGT model looks great. Fantastic even. No one looking at it would think anything except how awesome it is :)
However, it's inaccurate in countless ways. Many of the details are either missing, simplified, or just wrong. I haven't even bought a 3D printer yet because I've been editing the model for almost 2 years. (remember, I'm no 3D modelling expert :p ) The skull of that model is pretty much perfect, and the one thing I haven't touched.
Using the reference pics on the Jaz Creations website (the guy who made an all metal T-800 ), and pictures of actual props from an auction site, I'm trying to create a model that's about as screen accurate as a person can get (models from movie-to-movie and even different scenes in the SAME movie sometimes had some differences!).
My plan is first to make a T-800 for myself, of course. But I will 3D print, post process, make molds and cast the parts in resin.
My modelling is less than stellar, but i am skilled with paint and bodywork, so filling/sanding/smoothing isn't a huge concern for me fortunately.
It's still going to be a long road though :p

Hey Keith, are you able to share the files? I tried purchasing from the vendor but it says the files are no longer available for purchase.

With some advice from RogueSkynet, I was able to hook up some LEDs to a remote switch and put a sparkle in Termie’s eye. He just didn’t look right without a healthy glow, and so I wanted to post.

can you elaborate on how you got the LEDS set up?

care to share what you have thus far, design wise?

The material isn't the problem. You'll get the same weakness from ABS. Heck, even the original fiberglass pieces made for the movies were too weak to support itself without help. You need to consider creating an internal frame made out of hard plastic tubing or even metal, in order to support the piece. If you've printed the pieces hollow it should be possible to somewhat easily add a support structure of some sort.

What about other Materials like PETG or PLA CF, all need heavy re-enfrocement?

I am no expert, but as compared to my Sideshow endoskull, Yes, it is by up to 10 mm. As I complete the whole structure, I will see about making modifications. Right now, I am slowly getting pieces off the printer. The parts look very nice thus far and I haven't had any printing problems.

This is the closest that I have come to a 35 year dream of having a T-800 sitting in my living room. I have tried paper, PVC, Styrene, and clay and all have not brought me the dream. The 3d printer seems to be doing it. I will have a personal terminator!

I want to print my own t800 which is the best stl to use

After a brief delay, while I hunted for a metric roller bearing, my printer is up and running. I printed the pelvis in two halves and soon this thing will stand!

I am thus far quite impressed with how well the files print and the detail that I am getting. As I continue to complete the parts and test them for fit, I make note of the mods that I feel I want to make.
