Working T800 Skull
Not a realistic endoskull though,
We can download the parts.
It may be a reference for the movement.

It is very interesting that someone is building an animatronic T-800.

this is what i mean and want for the endoskull but has to be adjusted and takes time and is not easy

You can find some by searching for "Animatronic Eye."
Since blinking is not necessary, we will omit unnecessary mechanisms.

My T2 scan, printed on an FDM printer with a 0.2mm nozzle. I tested the "Chrome Effect" paint, some local equivalent of Alclad II Chrome. If it weren't for the texture of the base black layer, it would be even better.
This paint should not be touched by hands, as it immediately becomes cloudy, and it needs to be covered with a two-component lacquer, which partially reduces the mirror effect (in the photo, the paint has not yet been coated with lacquer). I think that such a slight reduction in mirror-like shine is even good because in the film, the skull doesn't look like perfect chrome either.

Damn. You wouldn't guees that that was an FDM print. What did you do to get rid of the layer lines?
I printed with a layer height of 0.06mm, then sanded the model with abrasive fleece (scotch-brite), followed by applying an adhesion primer and spraying 2-3 layers of filler primer on top of it. Then I carefully sanded the primer, so the layers are completely invisible. However, instead, all the fine details have become rounded.

With FDM, is the filament PLA?
I've heard that PLA has a durability of about 5 years in short cases.
It is good to use it for prototype and duplicate with another material, though,
I am a little worried about using PLA as it is.
 
PLA should last a lot longer than that. Haven't looked into the details on the plastic too much, though.
PLA Lifetime
Even indoors, hydrolysis progresses slowly by taking in moisture in the atmosphere. It is difficult to say how long hydrolysis will take place, as it varies greatly depending on the environment and added components, but it is generally believed that the practical service life of PLA molded products is about 5 years in industrial terms. (This does not necessarily mean that the product will be ruined in 5 years, as it depends on the environment and the way it is used.)

I printed PETG, actually I printed it for practice, to try painting it with metallic paint, before painting a large skull in the future.
In my printing, I don't use PLA at all because it's more expensive than PETG and loses shape at lower temperatures compared to PETG.

PLA is easy to use but has a short life span.
ABS is durable but warps easily, making printing difficult.
Polycarbonate is durable but expensive and warps easily.
PETG is durable and warp-resistant, but not suitable for small objects.
