Just because people don’t seem to really comprehend how big this print is…
I’ve taken this to several conventions and school presentations now and people are shocked at the size and the fact that this was printed on RB2’s and an RB3. Even those that have seen the pictures I posted earlier are shocked by the size in real life.
This is one of my favorite prints so far. I may do another with a slight remix.
Holy crap… That is pretty big.
That is impressive
Very Nice. Every bone was printed independently? Can you share the 3d files? Well i dont have a 3d printer yet, but this is done so nicely....will be among first things ill print when i`ll buy one!
Make sure you replace the stand rod with something significantly better. Ours was this big and after a couple of weeks it jumped off the table as the rod snapped.
Is that 200% of the published model size?
@Cosmin_Dumitrescu There are about 50 pieces. The files came off of Thingiverse. A 10x10x10 printer handles this size quite nicely as some of the scaled up parts take up nearly the entire bed area.
@ThantiK That was considered at the beginning of the project. I ended up printing the support really strong and so far it has held up nicely. The tabs locking the spine together were another story. Gorilla glue now holds those together very nicely.
@Geoffrey_Forest Yup, scaled the published model up by 2x. Took it from 2 feet to 4 feet.
@Jeff_Parish I’m warning you, so did we. The stand printed at nearly 80% infill and still - over the course of about 4 months, it broke. Half of the model broke while falling off the table in the process.
@ThantiK Warning received. Really hard to get those locking tabs back out of the sockets once inserted. What would you suggest replacing it with? I did have the idea of modifying and printing the support with a 4mm hole down the middle and slipping in a steel support rod.
The fact that the leg touching the base has been glued at all the joints and is acting as a second support to the center rod will make it quite hard to swap out at this point anyway. At the same time it might also extend the life of the support by taking a portion of the load. It is now 2.5 months old. So far shows no sign of fatigue, twist or bending. If your warning proves prophetic I may have to just wait for it to break, fix the model and replace the support post for a second life. 
@Jeff_Parish in that case I’d just wait for it to break naturally. We didn’t have any sagging, twisting, or bending either. We actually managed to catch it on the security camera at it happened overnight. Just out of the blue…pop, and down it went!
@ThantiK Now I’m a bit scared for my 300% scaled one! I’m almost done printing it in time for MRRF.
You are great sir
@Shane_Graber Nice! A 6 foot print! If you have not assembled it yet maybe redo the support post with a 6mm steel rod in it. I’d love to see pictures!
Nice job!
Great work
hello
Nice! I want one now. How much filament did it take?
@Peter_Hertel It weighs in at 4.5 lbs. A little over two spools of filament went into this. 465 hours of printing at 0.1mm layer height.
