Started printing out the bits @ 200% 0.3mm layer height.

Comes out around 9"/22mm height, making it about 1/9th scale. Planning to sand it down & paint.

Funnily enough, it wasn't a complete disaster at 0.3mm layer height:

Most of the odd bits are from XYZ getting confused about my bad 3d modeling. Still, came out in one piece (I snapped off a wing on purpose to get into the supports.

But I'm working on a more... friendly way of printing it:

Gotta re-do the right arm (the one with the gattling gun) because no matter what the sliced result is fubar. Gonna try a 0.1mm layer height with the bits.

Just a little support:

Lol

Older versions of the default DaVinci program seem to work pretty well when it comes to slicing and supports, and since I make my own NTAG filament chips I'm a bit more adventurous with PLA.

I'm a fan of the OVA "Metal Skin Panic Madox 01", and with a 3d model so hard to come by I figured to whip up my own for fun.

Thank god for a good reference picture

It is more or less a rigged 3d model: apparently the default pose in the pic makes it back heavy.
Waiting to see how the print turns out -15cm tall @ 16 hours printing- before I upload the pose to thingiverse.
