Hi guys. I've been working on a personal 3d printing project in between time spent on games art contracts, in the form of a Mjolnir kit build. I do 3D games art for a living but I've done very little 3D printing so this is quite ambitious. I was just wondering who of you out there in RPF land have experience with 3D printing large/1:1 scale props and replicas?
The model isn't quite finished yet, still doing adjustments to shell/wall width and haven't decided yet how many pieces to split it up into, but here it is as it currently stands. Printing the handle might be a bit overkill, but I wanted a thread so that it can screw into the head. Also considering filling the head and/or handle with a mixture of resin and sand for weight and solidity. Experimenting with 3D printing can get very expensive very quickly, so it's something I'm keen to minimise.
