A 3D printed3D printing is the construction of physical objects from a digital 3D model file, using a machine called a 3D printer. Robot Flesh-Eater, stepping on a dead Space Marine’s helmet.
This mini was 3D printed on my Anycubic Photon S with Anycubic UV resin. I 3D printed this mini in parts, and he turned out great (apart from the missing claw on his right hand). I also 3D printed the base and the Space Marine helmet.
This miniature looked so cool, and (in my opinion) I botched his paint job. I tried to keep him metallic, going off of the box-art color scheme of Warhammer’s Necrons, but it didn’t turn out quite right. The gun-metal color worked fine, but the silver (on the head, toes, and claws) looked weird. The bronze colored metal parts aren’t perfect, but they work. They’re simply the same paint-job as the metal, but covered in a few layers of Guilliman Flesh Contrast paint. The blood also turned out a bit brighter than I would’ve liked. And finally, the metallic blue on the Space Marine helmet looks poor, but I was so fed up with this mini I’d rather print a new one and try a different method than fix it.
Overall, this mini had great potential, but didn’t turn out to a level that I’d be happy with. I’ll have to print some more and try again, though, because it’s a great model!
