Resin 3D printing for action figures

Posted in Custom Workstation

Finally we're at a point where high-quality 3D printing is easily affordable and accessible to everyone. The only thing holding us back from printing everything our heart desires is the lack of 3D models themselves. That's where you come in!

I recently bought a resin 3D printer and have been experimenting with it. I'm blown away by the quality of the prints and started making my own models to make customizing easier. So far I've made accessories for 6 inch Clone Troopers / Star Wars figures and am selling them on my Etsy shop.

I'm not out to end traditional casting, there will always be a place for that. 3D prints have significant advantages however. No giant mold lines, easily resizable prints, models can be tweaked, etc. The trick is getting quality models in the first place.

I'm offering to print stuff for you for cheap if you provide models I can use. I could print heads for like 3 to 4 bucks for example.

We could even work out a deal where you make models, I print and sell them, and we split the profits.

Full disclosure: It actually only costs like 15 cents in resin to print something small, like a gun, but the post-processing to clean and cure the prints eats up supplies and time (and my health) which is why I need to charge more. It's still a hell of a deal when you consider a place like Shapeways charges you like 13 bucks for a little knife.

So hit me up if you want to work together!

Here are some example prints:
