I stumbled across this free file on Cults 3D early last week and just could not resist. So this will be a side project for me over the next who knows how long, an astronaut from 2001, A Space Odyssey…. I printed him up overnight, starting at about 6:30 pm yesterday and he finished printing at around 11:15 am today, nearly 17 hours of print time. The figure stands at approximately 165-170mm tall.









This project will be mostly paint work, although I do plan to make a base for him as well.

Looks like you're getting the hang of it. That looks like a really nice print.

Bravo!

Thanks John. Yes, I am getting the hang of this printing stuff… patience is required, that’s for sure!

I’m sorry Dave, I can’t allow that.

That's a really nice figure. Love the details.

6 inches is a pretty decent sized figure to work with. Nice!
