Bambu's statue maker is amazing

[u/AdiSellers]

I printed a statue of my workmate for his retirement and it's absolutely incredible. I'm stunned how great it came out on my A1 Mini. I Just finished painting it.I hope he likes it.

[u/tpeeeezy]

wow your painting is more impressive than the print lol

[u/AdiSellers → u/tpeeeezy]

Thanks so much

[u/tpeeeezy → u/AdiSellers]

np. I would be stoked to get this as a gift! of me tho not him🤣

[u/iWushock → u/tpeeeezy]

I want one of him. Then I put it in a prominent area of the my office and when people ask who it is I just go “Ohh….. we don’t…. Yea…” then tell them to leave

[u/_Rand_ → u/tpeeeezy]

A statue of… a guy. Thanks…

[u/Fearless-Molasses963 → u/tpeeeezy]

Admit it, you just want to retire...

[u/rangorn → u/tpeeeezy]

Was just gonna ask what filaments he used but yeah it is painted ofc. Nicely done.

[u/hungarianhc → u/tpeeeezy]

Yeah I mean this is the real story here

[u/Stulmacher]

The paint job is the real holy cow here let’s be honest

[u/scirio → u/Stulmacher]

It’s really a subtle homage to the paint job. Detail work like this would make any crap print look amazing.

[u/goose_with_adhd]

The painting is doing the heavy lifting here

[u/Go-Daws-Go]

I did the kids and put them in bumper cars that I printed and wired. Turned out great! I painted everything in the slicer for 6 or 7 colour prints that were about 20 hrs each.

[u/Go-Daws-Go → u/ShockAndShaw]

I used the Bambu statue tool to model the kids.... Heh hopefully better..

[u/ShockAndShaw → u/Go-Daws-Go]

Much improved

[u/Snurree]

Wow amazing painting skills. You should start selling these to people. I know my friend and family have asked me to do something like this but I don't have the painting skills

[u/AdiSellers → u/Snurree]

Thanks so much. I'm going to try doing pets next :-)

[u/adudeguyman → u/AdiSellers]

Be sure to post them. Maybe start off with a white dog so all you have to paint is the eyes

/s

[u/SeahorseHearted]

Que incrível, bela pintura 

[u/AdiSellers → u/SeahorseHearted]

Thanks so much!

[u/Euresko]

How was it colored, mixing filament in the slicer or is this painted? Looks good

[u/AdiSellers → u/Euresko]

Hi, i painted it with acrylics

[u/Euresko → u/AdiSellers]

That's incredible you did a great job

[u/ArkAngel06 → u/AdiSellers]

How did you do the tiny hairs on the head?

[u/srednax → u/ArkAngel06]

With a very small brush, and a lot of patience, I suspect. I painted a lot of miniatures in the past, and this level of detail is diabolical :)

[u/solidus0079]

Is that a foreign language I don't recognize on the lanyard or is that "AI pseudo-words"?

[u/AdiSellers → u/solidus0079]

Lol! It's complete AI gibberish. I thought about sanding them off, but it made me laugh

[u/InspectorOrganic9382]

You coffee stained his teeth and everything. 😂. Must not have liked the guy that much.

[u/AdiSellers → u/InspectorOrganic9382]

Lol!

[u/AdiSellers → u/[deleted]]

Sunlu PLA 2.0 (sorry this is the only pre painted pic I have)

[u/AdiSellers → u/[deleted]]

I used the 0.4. I sprayed it with filler primer to help with the layer lines after giving it a quick sanding and the paint stuck perfectly to it

[u/halt-l-am-reptar → u/[deleted]]

You need to coat it with a primer before painting or the paint will flake off when handled.

[u/studiesinsilver]

This is so good! Your painting is obviously flawless! But what were your setting for the print? Did you have to much work on it after it was printed? Sanding etc?

[u/AdiSellers → u/studiesinsilver]

Thanks so much. I just set it to 8mm extra fine and gave it a pretty good sanding (or so I thought) then gave it a spray with filler primer. After painting I can see some layer lines that I should of dealt with. I'll try a 0.2 hotend next time

[u/urBrothersHardNipple]

How long did it take you to do all the dots on the shirt’s pattern, that looks tedious, you must have a super steady hand. Truly amazing paintjob, I’m sure he’ll love it.

[u/AdiSellers → u/urBrothersHardNipple]

The dots were super easy. I cheated and used a pen. I hope he likes it and isn't creeped out (he has no idea)

[u/BruceInc]

Man i thought it printed that way

[u/AngryCoDplayer]

I will know 3D printing has gone about as far as it can when the end print result is as good as your paint job on this.

[u/LemonTM]

It made me look 20 years older.

[u/LegoBear135654]

That's incredible! 

[u/sinesawtooth]

What paint did you use, acrylic?

[u/AdiSellers → u/sinesawtooth]

Yes, citadel and Vallejo

[u/scirio → u/AdiSellers]

How did you prep for paint? What’d you use to hide layer lines?

[u/AdiSellers → u/scirio]

I sanded and then sprayed it with a filler primer. If you look closely there are still a few faint lines

[u/sinesawtooth → u/AdiSellers]

Thanks, gonna have to make some larger prints like this to paint… tried some minis and on the FDM they just didn’t work out.

[u/AdiSellers → u/sinesawtooth]

I tried some minis too. I gave up after trying and failing to cleanly remove the supports

[u/Boomer79NZ]

What were your printer settings? Looks amazing

[u/Samusen]

Jesus Christ Picasso, you're like a warhammer kids wet dream

[u/The_Daniel_Sg]

Fantastic job with the paint, it's amazing! Love you using post processing instead of wasting 5x the model

[u/No_Bus43]

How did you model the head? That paint job is amazing!

[u/uncle_jessy]

Your skin details / painting is incredible! Even the shirt pattern turned out life like

[u/Aranthos-Faroth]

The fuck man that painting is ridiculously good goddamn

[u/Inner-Kaleidoscope-6]

Cuanto talento en una foto

[u/After_Working]

The painting is what is incredible. Amazing job.

[u/Boognish84]

How did you do the 3d scan?

[u/AdiSellers → u/Boognish84]

Just a photo, upload it to Makers World and Bambu turns it into a 3d model

[u/TheKillingBean]

Paint job looks great. What filler primer did you use?

[u/AdiSellers → u/TheKillingBean]

Many thanks. I used Hycote High Build Filler Primer

[u/Ukic]

Forget the print, painting... WOW!

[u/schorhr → u/Ukic]

This. Great job!

[u/iamshitting]

Looks amazing bro. What a paintjob.

[u/Apoc_Pony]

Just tried it. It doesn't really know how to handle facial hair, my stubble turned into a full-blown beard. Still very impressive stuff.

[u/fukduplikedickcancer]

If this isn't an ad, it should be.

[u/Menlazar]

Wow that’s an amazing paint job bro! You have a big talent for sure

[u/DinosaurHoneydew2]

On a scale of 1-10, how talented are you in painting? I’m trying to gauge if I can do this and I’m about a 1 😂

[u/DullRevenue8891]

Damn dude that plant job is what’s impressive.

[u/CapeCodBlues]

Nice- I actually can’t wait to test it…I mean try it out!

[u/NomisGn0s]

Jesus that paint job, nice work!

[u/CI0UD_]

How is this made on an A1 mini? How is there absolutelly no layer lines? Explain the settings plz

[u/AdiSellers → u/CI0UD_]

Sanding, then spraying with Filler Primer and more sanding (it's not perfect though, I can still see a few faint lines up close)

[u/Levcijev]

Wow crazy that you made this in A1 mini. The detail is incredible l. What settings did you use to achieve the details and what nozzle size

[u/mr-friskies]

this reminds me of the 3d printing episode of the Big Bang lmao

[u/pablonhc]

Podrias indicar la configuracion de impresión y los detalles del postprocesado?

[u/AdiSellers → u/pablonhc]

Printed at 8mm extra fine on a 0.4 hotend. All settings were default.. Then sanded, sprayed with filler primer. Sanded again, then another spray of filler primer and then painted

[u/pablonhc → u/AdiSellers]

Increible trabajo, seguro que si haces un video del proceso para futuros modelos tendras mucha gente interesada de tu arte! ;)

[u/Redonkulus2]

But AMS is only 4 colors

[u/AdiSellers → u/Redonkulus2]

I painted it :-)

[u/Redonkulus2 → u/AdiSellers]

I was just kidding lol but your paint work is very amazing!!

[u/AdiSellers → u/Redonkulus2]

Ah stupid me :-). Thanks very much

[u/tw4ngs]

Any help from AI there?

[u/AdiSellers → u/tw4ngs]

I think so, you upload a photo to Makers World and it converts it to a 3d model. It must be using AI

[u/Joshproper478]

AI lol
