How I 3D Printed a Life Size IG-11 from The Mandalorian in only 10 Days 

Oooo that sounds like an incredible project!

Yep and hopefully animatronics into the head as well 😁

It was about 13.5 1kg rolls and maybe 250g of resin. For once I made sure to keep track of how many rolls of filament I went through only to not mention it in the video 😂

Other than the ones used for this build that included a CR-10s, Ender 3 Pro, 2 Ender 3 V2s and a Mars 2 Pro, I also have a Mono X, M3 Max, and a CR-10 Smart and Chiron that are still in their boxes until I have a spot for them.

@@MMsPropShop That’s cool thank you for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻

I’m a big fan of Ender 3’s. They’re the first printers that I use when printing anything and I only use my larger ones if the piece is too large to fit. There are a ton of different models though so I can be a little confusing. The V2s are great but there is a V2 Neo that has some great added features that I personally feel is well worth the slight price jump. I’d only go for a 300x300mm printer if you’re really going to be constantly printing massive single pieces. Most large models are split into pieces that will fit on an Ender 3 size bed though (235x235mm).

​@@MMsPropShopThank you so much for the info. I'm very interested in getting my first printer and had no idea where to start. This has been a great help.

Oops 🙈😂

Well it’s still under construction so the final room height has yet to be determined 😅😂 I’ll figure out somewhere for him to live eventually lol

They’re all just using squash ball feet.

Warning: it’s very addicting 😂

I find myself more often than not having both FDM and SLA pieces on the same project. It’s just so handy to be able to print the finer details and more complicated pieces in resin (and not have to worry about post processing as much, haha!)

Around 13.5 1kg rolls. Didn’t miss it, just forgot to mention it in the video 😂

I essentially have “droid parking” in my workshop. A lot of the droids don’t take up a ton of space as they’re quite thin and it’s just their height that could become more of a concern. It’s probably similar to the area needed for a floor lamp in a lot of cases. I’ve also wanted to build a K2 for a while. He is one of those droids that take up a bit more space as his legs have further spacing than a lot of them that just are straight down from the rest of their bodies.

Thanks! Can’t wait to start getting some paint on him.

@@MMsPropShop I'm sure it will be a masterpiece

About 13.5kg. He’s hopefully going to be living in my workshop when finished. I have a “droid parking” area planned 😂

@@MMsPropShop Cool!

Definitely. That’s also why I try to print them at a finer quality so that I have slightly less work to do later.

Yes but it’s a simple and fairly inexpensive upgrade. Definitely not worth going for a Prusa for that alone.

good luck love to see the full thing when you are done

Duramic. I’m a huge fan of their PLA+ so I figured their PETG might also be good. I’ve only ever used the one kind of PETG so far, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I was very happy with how it printed.

@@MMsPropShop Thanks! I'll give that a try. Thanks for the lightning fast response

@@MMsPropShop One more question, do you have an all metal hotend? I hear PETG can damage some printers stock hot ends because you print close to the melting point of the plastic tubes that to down the hot end

Nope, they’re all the stock hotend. I do have Capricorn PTFE tubes on the machines though that are more heat resistant than the standard white ones.
