T1 and T2 Endoskeleton Research Thread

PETG is durable and warp-resistant, but not suitable for small objects.

Why?

 

[ghostman]

Why?

SORRY.
I did not actually try it.
I just put what is written in the book.
I heard that it is not suitable for detailed modeling because it tends to string.

Yes, it has a tendency to string, but this can be resolved by calibrating retractions, drying the filament before printing. Also, the faster the idle movements of the print head, the fewer such problems. But yes, printing PETG is more challenging than PLA.

If you have a SLA or DLP optical 3D printer
Optical fabrication is sharper and cleaner for small items.

DLP printers don't seem to want to jump up to higher resolutions for some reasons, but stay relatively low compared to LCD printers, which is a shame, because if you could get a 8k or 12k DLP printer... you would get better quality prints compared to an equal resolution LCD one. I don't understand why they do not do this. It would make more people buy them.

I would buy them.

Do anyone have any of the other pictures saved from this Terminator Salvation Endoskeleton auction? It was on icollector, but since it's been removed I assume it was auctioned by Profiles in History. Unsure at which year, since the icollector page is gone.

These are the two images I've been able to find through picture search:

After getting a little more inspiration here, I dared to change my custom 1/4 Hot Toys with accurate skull a bit after years. what I'm currently doing is weathering effects so that it fits with the skull but The skull will be updated at some point so it will get a new one after I have finished my 3D files of the bust in 1/1 but I have a problem at identifying the extra pistons with cables connections because they are always different in t1 and t2. I hope everyone can help here

Already looks so much better than with the Hot Toys skull.

What chrome did you use on the skull to match the look of the Hot Toys figure?

In any case, it looks better with the current skull but after I finished my 3D file, I put the finishing touches on it with the final skull and even changed the base a little, I hope everything fits

Not chromed By myself but…after I let it print in Resin I don’t know wich Resin … I printed it and Failed the chrome by myself I tried to save it by sanding the lines a little more clearly and I let it chromed , the upper skull part is printed in resin after I fail the chroming I let it pvd coating and The jaw with pistons is polished real metal printed in Lost wax casting mode in brass… I use a silver plating gel without electroplating and polished the metal brass parts to a high gloss and ad some Weathering effects. I had the jaw made in metal because the plastic one was bent and unfortunately broke off!!!
but it is being improved one last time and I still want to add all the cables, as you can see in the pictures there are a lot that are still to be added but I need clearer pictures of exactly where they go...

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Some more work on the oversized version of the chip.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Only real thing I need to add is the switch... and then perhaps a little beveling.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Did the normal sized version too... also need to do some beveling and add the switch.

Thanks to the user who had made his own chips and posted a wip comparison to a screen capture of the broken chip at the end of the movie. Without that picture I couldn't have done the cutouts on the normal one. I'll scroll back and find your username again, unless you manage to chime in before I'm able to get that done.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks.

EDIT: found him in post #978. Thanks man.

no problemo

some finishes on the current works on the last Skull for my figure and bust.... a comparison of Deltadesigneruss Original Replica Scan , with Skynet2029s and my Last custom work on the skulls

Reading through this thread again. Still a valuable resource.

Terminator T-800 Blueprints

NOTICE: Dropbox changed the way they host files, so all of the images and links in this thread are broken. Maybe someday I will go through and fix everything, but for now I'm releasing everything in zip files. All Blueprints/Drawings (13 mb) All 3D Files (Autodesk Inventor .ipt) (135 mb)...

Looked through some auction pictures and I think this is the same endoskeleton:

The one on the left in the first picture:

Or at least made at the same time.

Just look how they are mangling the spine to make it more vertical instead of having that natural curve the T1 and T2 ones did - which also made the pelvis pivot more down at the front resembling an actual human pelvis position rather than the raised look of these ones... and many reproductions.

Apparently this is a show. Where can I watch this episode?
