Post subject:  Almost like Smaug (AlikeS) and more - 3D printing.
Hello :)
i would like to share with You what i did with my printer. Because the price of original Smaug is to high for me, i made my own version.
I found project of head on one site, i decided to put all together.

Start was easy.
Image

Image

Image

Than lot of glue and paper.
Image

Image

Image

Image

And some of small prints to put on.
Image

Everything on place - so... base colour.
Image

Image

Finishing head:
Image

Image

Image

And latest photos of model. Gold finished. Head is waiting for paiting few gold coins attatched to it, becouse for now they are in skin colour.
But i'm affraid that i will ruin head when i will be painting coins ;)
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Making AlikeS took me around a year but i'm lazy so that's main reason ;)

This year i was making also some other things.
AmonHen i made for making 3D printing a little bit more popular. It was showing on some 3D printing shows as a example ;)
Image

Image

Image

And the biggest project - still in progress.
Chamber of Mazarbul.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


Ufff... long for the first post ;)
Some of You probably buy some of my prints from fb or TLA - hope You enjoy them. Soon more of prints. If everything will go as it should be - next printings will be glowing at night ;) i hope ;)

And first game in Mazarbul, sorry for photos, but it was in mine, in darkness so the quality isn't perfect ;)
cool game for about 2200 each side (maybe more, becouse it was last scenario to play), as You can see, chaos, chaos, chaos ;)

Great work on Smaug and a very clever idea which has been executed well. Nice work on the scenery as well 8)

that's cool, where did you get the 3d files from?

Post subject:  Re: Almost like Smaug (AlikeS) and more
This is all really inventive and clever stuff. Are the files on shapeways?
Author:  puzi [ Sun Jan 24, 2016 10:00 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Almost like Smaug (AlikeS) and more
Most of files are on thingiverse.com, yeggi, shapeways, cgtrader and most of all --> uncle google ;)
I was trying with models from googlesketchup but those files are sometimes to simple to use them for printing. F.eg. Orthanck in sketchup looks cool, but when i was converting it for stl lot of elements are missing.

You don't believe in small do you.

;)
I'm making smaller things - lot of bases, small ruins, different things for son.
But most things that are connected to LotR/Hobbit are quite big ;)


Smaller egzamples ;)

Nice work. What material are you using for the ruins ?
Love the falcon

Post subject:  Re: Almost like Smaug (AlikeS) and more
PLA plastick -prefered, also ABS - but when it's cooling down it shrinks and on big models there is possibility to change dimensions of model and also model can crack.

Projects like this really do pique my interest for a 3D printer.

Nice ruins. 8) Does the material paint very well?
How much does a 3D printer cost?

I'm not a good painter, so for me painting f.eg. Mazarbul was ok. But the layers of printing are visible. On thiner layer result is much better - AlikeS

Well, prices of printers - depends what You need. For making ruins - the simplest type of printind - FDM - check youtube. Prices starts from 200-400GBP - for new printer, type of students machine, better printers starts from 1000GBP. Of course i'm thinking about prices in Poland ;)

I really like your Smaug, well done!

3D printing has a lot of potential, too bad it's really expensive right now.

Very interesting to see the use of new technology - I recognise components of Helm's Deep among the other items.
