Terminator T800 Full Bust Scaled 1:1

thingiverse

All the parts I have in this project are scaled 1:1 and Measures approx. 19" side to side. All parts are included for printing pleasure. Jace1969 posted a T800 "Bust Concept" which was one of my first "Must Haves" when i first got my printer a little over a year ago. Except there was that one problem, it was incomplete, and I was a complete noob and had no idea what I was doing! I had no idea how to create those essential extra parts not included, how to scale the ones not scaled, and by how much to scale them. For about a year I've been messing around with this build off and on and slowly I finally got around to figuring it all out and getting it to this point. So for that, I got to give the BIGGEST thanks to Jace1969 for hooking me on this build, which gave me the drive to learn the basics of 3D design and editing to get this completed. Since I am unable to put this particular piece as a source here is the link to it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2243959 Some important things I would like to add for those who print this: 1) Dont forget to drill out the holes in the eyes and make holes through both pieces of the head to run wires down through the neck, into the base, where you will connect them to a battery source. 2) Note the images i posted showing how and where i connected the spine to the shoulders. As per the file name, I drilled the hole with a 27/64" drill bit and i connected the two sides with a 1/4" wooden dowel rod and lots of epoxy. 3) I was worried the head wouldn't print right without supports. However, i was wrong and it prints just fine. I advise strongly against printing this with additional supports other than the one included in the file. The head i did the first time around had so many supports it was a mess to get them all out. This problem is especially seen in those small places on the side of the skull and on the jaw where I ended up breaking off those actuators on the sides of the mouth removing support material - NOT WORTH IT! The file is ingeniously built without needing supports. Take a look at the image I have posted showing it as it prints it may make you feel better about printing it without supports, if like me you're worried about that.. 4) The thin strait pieces on the back of the head that do down to the base I built using simple PVC pipe from Home Depot in two different sizes to give the looks of being pistons or actuators or something. Where they meet the head i redesigned a file and scaled it to fit from a file i found on here of a "universal joint" or "U-joint". 5) Scale the pipes that connect the trap and collar cylinders to the rod ends to 9mm. I think they are scaled to 7.8mm. Not much of a difference but thats what i did.
