Some different angles! : D And without the Plated Typheron for some reason.
Now, these models are all printed with my Lulzbot Mini printer. All of these models are from 3 inches to 6 inches in length with plain black PLA plastic. From left to right:
R-Eventide - creature designed by R-Eventide: A fun bust model I pulled together one evening, and then decided to print for the heck of it. So happy with the smoothness of the model, but the bottom edges of the 'ears' need smoothing somehow - it's a lot tougher than it looks to smooth rough edges!
Morghus - creature designed by Morghus: A commissioned model that I decided to print to see how such delicate membranes would fare. They're really rough, but the detail in the fin rays are still there, so perhaps printing in a different orientation will help with that. Also, HOLY CRAP the detail preservation! I'm in love!
Rocktopus/'Kraken The Dragon' - original, with Rocktopus from Lulzbot: The most complicated print I've done so far, and just a teeny bit too tall for my printer's print volume of 6 inches (the top of the hammer got cut off as a result). The mouth is ragged, and one tentacle is perilously close to disintegrating, but this is a worthy test of skill indeed! Took over 25 non-stop hours to print! Very proud of the detail in this.
Male Romanian Three-Tail - original: Finally, something I might be able to sell en masse without worrying about copyright! I modified the posture on this guy, so now he's a bit more organic, and I'm very happy with his muscle definition. Mmmm, meaty. <3
I'm unsure of selling the prints of R-Eventide and Morghus, as they are all other peoples' designs, so I will be sure to ask them before I offer these for sale. I really love how they came out, though. In the meantime, enjoy!

Oh cool! :D That's amazing, I look forward to seeing the colours after application. It has been interesting to see the progress of this technology being brought to the hands of many, rather than just for industry specialists (who often get the coolest toys to play with! My jealousy is profound! Haha XD) Thank you for sharing, it's been immensely fascinating to see the render and the product of it.
Thank you! I am truly lucky to have received this amazing piece of technology for sure - lucky! I never would have had the ability to purchase this without it!
And, I have now successfully painted one of these models! Check it out - it works quite well with just acrylics and a brush. No primer needed! https://www.weasyl.com/submission/909288/plated-typheron-3d-print-istarian-lord
You must be having such a blast with these, I know I would! A 3D printer is probably one of the best investments you could have made. These are supremely cool. ^n^

These are super impressive! Would the models withstand soft sanding for paint application? I am unfamiliar with the process!
