Elegoo has 10kg of their black filament on sale for $100 USD right now. Perhaps the cheapest filament you can get and I've had nothing but luck with it. Now only if I had a dozen printers I could print at this scale.
This is fantastic! Magneto meets the partridge family bus. You vould have him floating from the wall as an explosion of steel girders splayed out in a sunburst, instead of a floor base. If not too late. CA t wait for the finale.
Oh sweet mother of everything that its printable at home!!! Man, you're pushing 3d printing to the MAX!!! Its looking sooo sweet already, my dear amigo
The patchwork on this makes me think of the superhero "Combo Man". If that sounds like a gimmick superhero, it is. It was a promo for the snacks Combos and Marvel. Can't wait to see it all built but before painting.
if you want really strong and cheap magnets - buy some old dead HDDs and deassemble those they will be big enough and strong to hold those arms... mb 2-3 HDDs per arm will be fine also you can use epoxy to keep them in some small pits
I wonder if a large delta would have been a better choice for them limbs? One day, when I'm all grown up, I want to print one of these like you ! This is awesome!
Considering the scale and the potential instability while assembling this model, I might have started with the base if there is one. You know, a house cannot be built without a firm foundation.
Awesome project, can't wait to see it complete! For 3dgloop I use Luer lock syringes with blunt tip Luer lock needles. You can get different size syringes and needles to fit the size of the part(s) you're 3dglooping. I keep a variety of 1ml through 20ml syringes on hand and 14ga-16ga blunt needles. 3dgloop is too thick to flow well through anything much smaller than that.
Try using Fidlock magnet snaps with the M5 long male magnet stems. Each magnet set holds up to 45kg, and could be inserted into each section with a little bit of work. That's what I'm going to try and do when I get around to printing the statue I'm going to be auctioning off for charity (hopefully) later this year.
Magnets all the way! Or maybe a shelf or brackets the wall that you can hide in the wall if its small enough to be hidden but strong enough to support the arm and legs might work
For magnets you will need to glue them on the inside with at least 5mm of resin covering it. otherwise the force required to tear strong magnets apart by pulling /required due to pegs) will likely also tear out the glue.
What about a metal bar through the body that goes into the arm joints? that way the body takes the weight and the arms could potentially slide off later if needed.
I'm thinking you are going to need some metal conduit to build a frame on the inside. If you thread them you can have joints that will allow for easier disassembly down the line. Whatever you use it needs to be super sturdy.
I doubt that magnets would be enough to hold the pieces together on their own. You probably want to incorporate some PVC pipe as an internal skeleton which you can build the pieces around. Then some strong magnets to keep them connected. Velcro might be another option for connection.
I've seen that happen with failing supports, too. One time I had a support that wasn't sticking to the bed, so I stuck a clod of painter's tape in its place, so the supports could build on that.
Hmm, I like the foam idea but just as a heads up the best way to go about that would be mixing two part expanding foam /however/ much like 2 part resin it generates a lot of heat so you would run the risk of warping/deformation of the pla.
DANG this thing is THICCCCCC. Great project. I need to use Luban more! I wonder, now with PS2.6 and its cutting features, is Luban still needed or beneficial on its own vs. just using Prusaslicer?
The one thing Luban does (in addition to its 100 other functions) that PrusaSlicer doesn’t do is hollow out the file… Without Luban, all the limbs would have infill.. and be much much heavier and take much more time to print
hello from Quebec, Thank you for this video. Question, how many thickness lines for the walls and what % infill did you use? Is there another software than Luban to split a model? I have a full size batman and baby yoda project for my grandson
Instead of scaling the dowels there is a setting for tolerance in Luban3D and it will fix that problem for you. Best way I found was to do a couple of test prints and input the tolerance I found that gave me the best fit. -0.2 was what I ended up with but different materials and printers may be different, and a negative number means smaller positive number will make the dowels larger. This is going to be one massive and awesome project btw. Love it.
Run a wire trough the torso and attach at each arm (for safety) and use clip to attach it to wire. You'd need giant Rare Earth magnets and that means $$$ EXPENSIVE too
if the seams are recessed in shoulders and legs you could use velcro.. is stronger than magnets due to the large surface it will add some thickness so keep in mind that
Would totally have done this back in the 90's if, 1. We had 3D printers back then. 2. I had the room for a life size statue in my room. 3. I knew my parents where fine with their teenage son having a life size replica of She-Hulk.
Awesome project and I wonder what the end result will look like.❤🔥The only thing that I would different is the print direction of the pegs to make them stronger, because layers are the weakest point in a 3D print. It might not be an issue, but in a worst case scenario where the statue will fall over some pegs might break on you right in the middle giving you a hard time with repairing it again.
You never cease to bring amazing content! Wow! One of these days I'd live to 3D model something like this and put it together! I've started modeling my ball jointed dolls! Will post soon
Epic project, love it EDIT: Is there a 3D gloop "equivalent" for resin 3D prints? Or what adhesive would you recommend for someone following along but using resin 3D printers? I'm doing a similar but smaller scale project on my Elegoo Jupiter and Saturn
I want to do a wolverine version of this the one with him crouching so it even then it’s only like now 4 1/2 feet tall Mike 20 feet tall. You’re lucky that you’re doing this at your shop because I bet you there’s no way your family will let you have that at home. Great video is always be well be you
Magnets will probably not hold up that arm. I would look at the steel rods you can get at Lowe's or Home Depot. Also, I'm very disappointed that you didn't add holes into the outstretched palm of the model so you embed magnets for holding tools and such. It is Magneto, after all! :)
Also I was thinking. It would save a lot of print time and filament if you could scale it first then sort of Ramesh it making the wall Thickness like 5mm. If that makes sense?
That deserves an official "Mein Gott in Himmel!!!" 😁 And, dude, inquiring minds want to know what printer that was that showed up in the giant wooden crate! [from your TikTok account]
Yeah know.. $264 so far is already a killer deal compared to a normal marble statue. And yeah, they make strong magnets, question is is there enough structure to hold the magnets. Are you thinking of finishing the piece or like half finished, half filament?
congrats on making half way throguh it.. maybe you can use hot glue to hold them in place for now and then get some rare earth magnagets {{but not sure why you would want that other then to detached to move and re attached back together}} either way happy that it's coming along for you well and we will be waiting for the next vid to come out
Love this project i have to do me a john Stewart Statute some day. Just wondering why not print the thighs as on large peice. I'm sure it probably simple like to keep the symmetry or sum like that but just wondering.
Magnets for Magneto... nothing else would make sense 🤓👍
@Leanja Neodymium my friend :)

Now only if I had a dozen printers I could print at this scale.
Will there be a part 3 to this? I Hope so!
Thats looking so awesome so far!
Love it! Upscaling fascinates me the most with 3d print.
This is so epic. Can't wait to see the painting
Haha I will just be happy to get through all of the printing and see it fully standing
@@UncleJessy fair enough. Keep up the great work dude!
@@UncleJessy cmon dude you have to paint it and finish it fully!
@@UncleJessy What would be cool is for me to come to New York to help you paint it, since I already painted one. :)
She’s looking amazing already. Can’t wait to see the final product.
Super excited to get it up!
SHE! Look at the size of the arms, it's not Serena Williams.
@@evilutionltd I dunno Williams is a big woman! 😂
@@arghjayem Could be Leah Thomas.
Heavy-duty velcro will work to hold the arms on. I use it for prints when magnets are not strong enough to hold the weight of a part.
I normally like models painted to match as closely as possible, but I'm kind of loving the mix match color. It's going to be epic when it's finished
This is fantastic! Magneto meets the partridge family bus. You vould have him floating from the wall as an explosion of steel girders splayed out in a sunburst, instead of a floor base. If not too late. CA t wait for the finale.
That is too cool! I can’t wait to see it finished! Magneto is the best X-Men character too
Everything looks great so far I love X-men so I am so excited to see the finished piece Jessy.
Oh sweet mother of everything that its printable at home!!! Man, you're pushing 3d printing to the MAX!!! Its looking sooo sweet already, my dear amigo

Add extra wall in tree support
I love seeing all the different coloured parts come together. I really hope after all of this it does actually fit and isn't too tall!
There are disc magnets that can come down to the size of a half dollar. Which are pretty strong. Also super thin so won't cause issues with space
Kudos on diving on this huge project .
Really enjoying this series.
Cool project! Magneto is 6’2 so your scaling is quite a bit off but if that doesn’t bug you then shouldn’t bug others
😂🤣 yeah more like 7ft magneto 😂🤘 will be awesome
What about a metal bar through the body that goes into the arm joints? that way the body takes the weight and the arms could potentially slide off later if needed.
Amazing project. Looks great!
This is why you need those 5kg spools...
I'm thinking you are going to need some metal conduit to build a frame on the inside. If you thread them you can have joints that will allow for easier disassembly down the line. Whatever you use it needs to be super sturdy.
Hey Jesse I’m looking to buy a fillment printer what would you recommend. I’m want one that csn print nice size figures and statues

this is so cool. I love the possibility's of 3d printing. someday your going to be 3d printing a house.
I have one idea. Transparent resin/filament. Hollow it out, weigh it down with sand or something
Hmm, I like the foam idea but just as a heads up the best way to go about that would be mixing two part expanding foam /however/ much like 2 part resin it generates a lot of heat so you would run the risk of warping/deformation of the pla.

@@ericnalian4859 AH, okay, interesting. I bought Luban YEARSSSSSSS ago and never really used it.. Maybe one day soon!
It is really nice that we cant buy this printers for months and you are advertising them lol
hello from Quebec, Thank you for this video.
Question, how many thickness lines for the walls and what % infill did you use?
Is there another software than Luban to split a model?
I have a full size batman and baby yoda project for my grandson
I forgot my questions with a 0.4 nozzle
LOVE IT!!

The de burring tool really is a pro tip 👌🏼we learned that from you! We have them at all of our post production stations.
if the seams are recessed in shoulders and legs you could use velcro.. is stronger than magnets due to the large surface
it will add some thickness so keep in mind that
Would totally have done this back in the 90's if,

i am waitng for the 3rd part and see how it turns
So huge!
I can’t wait for part 3
Gravity held steel latches would work. Kind of like a French cleat. Search for Rockler Adjustable Flush Mount Brackets.
Jessie….we need part 3…..you have 957 3d printers, LET’S GO!!!
1 year later still no part 3 :(
I love this series Jessy! Please keep up the fantastic job and videos!
Reminds me of my lifesize xenomorph i started a while ago...i never finished it...ended up with a head and a Torso 😂
Awesome project and I wonder what the end result will look like.❤🔥The only thing that I would different is the print direction of the pegs to make them stronger, because layers are the weakest point in a 3D print.

My fav character outside of Deadpool and spidy. Super fun to watch…
Can't wait to see how tall he will be!
Looking Fantastic so far! any plans to incorporate any kind of lighting for display or effects purposes in the finished project??
This is very cool! An inspiring project.
Amazing video. What temp do you hear your white PLA filament to print?
You never cease to bring amazing content! Wow! One of these days I'd live to 3D model something like this and put it together! I've started modeling my ball jointed dolls! Will post soon
Bro we are here waiting and uncle jessy is printing I am sure its going to be huge and greate
Epic project, love it
EDIT: Is there a 3D gloop "equivalent" for resin 3D prints? Or what adhesive would you recommend for someone following along but using resin 3D printers? I'm doing a similar but smaller scale project on my Elegoo Jupiter and Saturn
just use the liquid resin itself to join the parts together
This is so epic, you spend so much time doing this
Would be nice to know if this was scrapped or not
This is really awesome! I'm no expert when it comes to this but what about twist turn interlocking. Might cut down on glue.
Awesome bro I started on mine last year, I'm printing life size Michael Myers for Halloween then printing Jason and freddy krueger next .
Please tell me you finished this!!! Absolutely incredible!!
I want to do a wolverine version of this the one with him crouching so it even then it’s only like now 4 1/2 feet tall Mike 20 feet tall. You’re lucky that you’re doing this at your shop because I bet you there’s no way your family will let you have that at home. Great video is always be well be you
Hey please post an update on this project. Can't wait to see the end result
Hi Uncle Jessy, Very excited to see this project progressing. Where can I find that deburring tool? I did not see it in your list. Great videos.
Magnets will probably not hold up that arm. I would look at the steel rods you can get at Lowe's or Home Depot.
Also, I'm very disappointed that you didn't add holes into the outstretched palm of the model so you embed magnets for holding tools and such. It is Magneto, after all! :)
Please tell me you'll be painting him, when his done! 😊 fantastic!
How did you seperate the stl's in smaller pieces?
That is impressive.
I wonder what size of model you could get using the X1-Carbon Combo for printing the parts??
Such an awesome project. Can you print me a mandalorian statue next. 😂
Also I was thinking. It would save a lot of print time and filament if you could scale it first then sort of Ramesh it making the wall Thickness like 5mm. If that makes sense?
Where can I find life sized files like this?
For the arms maybe some rare earth magnets glued down with epoxy?
Need to print an Arnold Schwarzenegger head to swap in and out, that thing looks like a Mr Olympia for sure
do you possibly have a link to the deburring tool?
I kinda wanna see you print more props like Loki’s mask or something
That deserves an official "Mein Gott in Himmel!!!" 😁 And, dude, inquiring minds want to know what printer that was that showed up in the giant wooden crate! [from your TikTok account]
When are you going to finish this???!
Even after the resize I think you still made it too big, he’s gonna be huge! 😂
Which 3d printer did you use for this?
How about using the 3doodler create pro filament pen to fill your seams?
Yea, earth magnets for Mangeto should work well.
Check out the Galactic Armory's videos on the life-size Master Chief and Arbiter for some tips on how to attach the arms.
Yeah know.. $264 so far is already a killer deal compared to a normal marble statue. And yeah, they make strong magnets, question is is there enough structure to hold the magnets. Are you thinking of finishing the piece or like half finished, half filament?

please tell me you're gonna finish that project and didn't just add 25 + pounds of plastic to the environment for no reason :D
Right
Love this project i have to do me a john Stewart Statute some day. Just wondering why not print the thighs as on large peice. I'm sure it probably simple like to keep the symmetry or sum like that but just wondering.
What happened to magneto did you ever finish it?
Me: I love miniatures
Also me (after watching your videos): but I also love 3 meters tall miniatures
