Unlimited Run Hellboy Tooth Fairy (Dead or Alive)

Re: Hellboy Tooth Fairy (3D Printed Kit)

I saw a great article from Make magazine in which they showed that 3D printed shells filled with hot glue are much faster to print and, in a lot of cases, stronger than 30-50% infill structural parts. This might make shipping much cheaper as the customer could fill the very light hollow parts with hot glue after receiving them. They used one or more inlet and vent holes (drilled after or printed in place) in each piece and injected the hot glue under trigger pressure by inserting the hot glue gun tip into the inlet hole. For a light-weight, display-only kit like this one, maybe only the legs make sense, but maybe this technique would be useful on some of your gun kits?

Hmmm, I buy Make, will have to read that. Sounds interesting, but learning how to make molds is next on my list, if I ever find time:darnkids

It's been a bit since I've revisited this as the Blade Runner gun has been sucking 100% of my time. But this is still a go, we're going to be doing some more modelling on it tomorrow. Might have some renders to show you soon.

This is more of a passion project, something we work on between guns , in the end - I really want a tooth fairy on my desk at work...

Re: Hellboy Tooth Fairy (3D Printed Kit)

Looking cool.

Only suggestion I'd have kinda echoes the others mentioned, but I'd like an option for a "on display" version like when it was in the lab.

Can't wait to see a kit!

Re: Hellboy Tooth Fairy (3D Printed Kit)

You know the more I look at this little guy the more I see some places there could be some minor improvements. Mostly when compared to the fairies in the movie this lil' fella looks kind of thick.


So maybe something more like this.
