Wow. Very cool. How long did it take to composite this and put it all together. Also very fascinated with 3d printers, how much does it cost you to do something like this and is it possible to make an entire figure just based off yawing the 3d printer?Overall this was about a week of sculpting and 2 days printing different scales and tests. I know some artists who've made articulated figures in the past, but i feel that for the effort and cost of material you'd probably be better off getting an actual neca figure. 3d printing is overall an expensive hobby, and if you don't intend to learn how to 3d model the price just goes up from there.Mind sharing the price? If not no worries I'm not quite sure what your asking, the price of what exactly? Can you be more specific? The cost of making the prints, not the printer itself but if you printed out one or more alien heads for instance

If not no worries I'm not quite sure what your asking, the price of what exactly? Can you be more specific? The cost of making the prints, not the printer itself but if you printed out one or more alien heads for instanceEach head is probably 5USD or so, but in order to fill the vat to its minimum its about 12USD. Given that there are 2 different printers running off different pieces the total is closer to 25-30$. Thats not including, electricity, paint, consumable material costs, time it takes to make the digital model, post processing labor etc etc.The cost of the prints themselves aren't so bad, but again 3d printing is an expensive hobby so its never JUST the cost of the printed material itself.
