James Bond Breather from Thunderball

[Delorean]

This is my first post on this forum but I’ve been watching and reading the threads for quite some time. I recently bought a 3d printer (Ender 3 Pro) and as I am a big fan of 007 I thought it would be great as a first project to do a print of the breather from the movie “Thunderball”.
After some trial and error (sanding and painting) I ended up with a print which I think resembles the original quite well. The stand worked out also very well.

Very nice.

I love the stand for it as well! Very classy

Thank you very much for your comments. Much appreciated. I am doing a re-run of the breather as in the above example I forgot the opening in the mouth piece as seen on this picture.


Also having a bit of trouble with the gold paint. If you have a good suggestion for the gold paint?
I will post another picture once the new breather is ready.

Thanks for the tip.

I made a new copy of the breather and I am much happier with this example as I included the opening in the mouth piece.

Are these available for purchase?

old thread but your build is super nice. Excellent work!

I’m going to have to add this prop to my list of things to machine
