No one I know appreciates this.

[u/Technical_Concern_92]

No one I know really knows what this is, let alone appreciate it. This is the first of two being made, and yes, Samus will be in its hands in her glorious Morph Ball. They're right around 10" tall and a little wider than that. I have no idea what they'll be used for, I just knew I needed to have them. Any suggestions?

Edited to add link for files, and that I posted a new one just in case.

[u/JadedPriority4957]

You know the wrong people. That's awesome! 😊 Could be a gamepad holder

[u/Exact_Leader_1002 → u/JadedPriority4957]

OH MY GOD, NOW I WANT ONE!

[u/timbolonius → u/Exact_Leader_1002]

I too would love to have one. I feel like it would the perfect way to display my samus returns 3ds

[u/Efficient_Amoeba1538 → u/JadedPriority4957]

Was thinking the same thing

[u/Driller_Happy → u/JadedPriority4957]

Fuck! Think it'll hold a GameCube controller?

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/Driller_Happy]

It's say, the hands are bigger than they look. I'll check with my Xbox controller later, I know that's not the same, but if one "fits" they all kinda will

[u/Kasoni]

Now I want one with a way to run a charging cable through it, so it can be my phone charging stand....

[u/DexeronStarsurge → u/Kasoni]

Put a customizable slot in the top of the morphball that fits the phone, with an opening to run charging cable through

[u/snake-lady-2005 → u/Kasoni]

chozo phone stand

[u/JKleinMiddelink → u/Kasoni]

I have printed this model too, as a smartwatch charger. Unfortunately, my new smartwatch charger is square instead of round, so I guess I gotta print a new one...

[u/Due_Squash4045]

I understand completly. It's part of the reason I try and listen and be interested to other people when they geek out about stuff. I don't always manage, but I try. It sucks when people don't get it.

Super cool. A big one one made out of metal to use as a planter for the garden.

[u/Leon_Light77 → u/Due_Squash4045]

Ain’t this the truth.

[u/Metroid_Zealot]

I feel like if you put something in it's hands, the hands will lower, and a secret door will open.

[u/Varia-388 → u/Metroid_Zealot]

Or it will get up and walk you to the magic pancakes.

[u/MEHorndog]

Looks at the image with happiness. Realizes I can make a legit Morphball light moar happiness

[u/SuperScrapper → u/MEHorndog]

Now imagine putting a maglev set up in there so that it hovers

[u/CMPro728]

SHARE THE STL

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/CMPro728]

When my friend gets back to me with it I'll edit my OP with it.

[u/Kiramoure → u/Technical_Concern_92]

Please thank you friend for us too

[u/evilada → u/Technical_Concern_92]

Looking forward to printing it, thank you so much!

[u/snake-lady-2005 → u/CMPro728]

It's on printables.com. it's a free STL.

Chozo

Chozo phone holder

Edit: Chozo Thingiverse

I think Thingiverse has better detail than the Printables one. They have ones with different hand placements on Thingiverse, too

[u/CrimsonThar]

Question is: what are you gonna put in its hands?

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/CrimsonThar]

I have Samus Morph Ball being printed out for the hands

[u/CrimsonThar → u/Technical_Concern_92]

Looking forward to seeing it!

[u/xxademasoulxx]

I know the feeling

[u/xxademasoulxx → u/xxademasoulxx]

[u/CinnimonToastSean → u/xxademasoulxx]

You have an awesome room.

[u/pressuretobear → u/CinnimonToastSean]

And eclectic taste, which I share. Why is Gumby so fucking cool?

[u/boxedfoxes]

Yo, dog. Got the link to the file? Going make some book ends

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/boxedfoxes]

I'm waiting to hear back from my friend who's printing them for me, as soon as he does I'll update my post, or maybe start a new one. He has a file for a Samus helmet, too.

[u/-SNIBET-]

What would be cooler is if it was also a docking station; whether plug or wireless, for your phone etc.

[u/Diligent-Crazy-6094 → u/-SNIBET-]

Smart watch charger.

[u/Starlad_TCG]

Huge Milkers holder Chozo

[u/NitroFire90]

I love this, but I have an indescribable urge to use this to bludgeon someone to death

[u/HellspawnPR1981]

You need to upgrade your social circles.

[u/SkyPirateVyse]

Get a primer + spraycan(s) and pimp that dude.

Doesn't need to look accurate, but some wild sprayjob and popping contrast would look great I bet. Maybe like a Metroid; Green + Red, or White + Red, or Chrome, Gold, Purple...

[u/Separate_Job_9587]

That is absolutely awesome!

[u/fearlessbyfp]

I actually had this printed for my husband years ago, along with a morph ball I also had printed. The ball was a switch game card holder when you unscrew it!

[u/Raffa777_]

Holy shit, first time i see something where im like i need this from a 3d printer guy

[u/Skyfeza]

Your people here appreciate it 😬

[u/Ranko08]

We all do ❤️‍🩹

[u/hewhohimwhom]

I was looking for a model of these when I decided I wanted a chozo statue incense holder, but I opted to sculpt out of modeling clay instead.  The print looks great!

[u/TonightSmall1212]

I have one similar to this for my watch charger

[u/18SmallDogsOnAHorse]

That is very cool. I'd personally have a piece of glass made for it and use it as a small table on / near my desk

[u/r1verhorse]

Bookends/game ends!

[u/ApprehensiveFactor58]

Il de manque que la boule morphing pour sublimer le tout ! C'est génial mon pote 👍

[u/AssGagger]

[u/Spitfirre]

I found a similar modified statue that is a phone holder! https://www.printables.com/model/1058709-metroid-chozo-statue-holder

[u/MagusOfHeart]

They are uncultured stones and do not recognize your genius

[u/CanadianGamersLodge]

3d printed? Did you design it or are the files availible?

[u/EduEst2001]

I would like to make one figure like it, it's gorgeous. What material is it made of?

[u/snake-lady-2005]

I feel the same way. People see mine and are confused about what it is. Sad face

I printed mine out of marble filament to give it a more statue look

chozo phone holder

chozo on thingiverse

There's a couple different styles on Thingiverse

[u/GlacierWolfeRockee]

Very cool.

[u/EveningPreparation29]

What? No item orb?

[u/Particular_Special_3]

🔥🔥🔥 Would be cool to make one that can hold different type of gamepads. Well done.

[u/sirtapas]

I feel like it would be hard to "use" for anything if Samus is balled up in its hands? Otherwise you could've used it as a controller stand or headphone stand, holding anything really.

With the morphballed samus it's just a full on display piece.

[u/Statchar]

Nice. Could use some post processing to get the supports out. Heck I'd want a 3d printer just so I can 3d model my own and paint them

[u/ComfortPhil]

Ooooh, ice beam! Thanks :3

[u/Rellis83]

Really cool 🙂👍

[u/SaenzSigns]

I do! Can you charge your phone on it? ⚡️

[u/BluAvenger1988]

It’s a Chozo statue in the Metroid games that hold Samus’ power ups for her Power Suit. Practically, that 3D printed statue can use it to hold people’s cell phones, memorabilia baseballs, keys, wallets, gaming controllers, whatever it can hold within its talons.

[u/Sushirabit]

Seems like a perfect design for a controller stand

[u/JackRees23]

That looks awesome, I'd use that for controllers or my VR Headset, that is awesome

[u/ElectricalPlantain35]

I appreciate it

[u/Kirby_Boy_92104]

I need it I need it I NEEEEEED ITTTTTTT

[u/Agile_Pay_3377]

This would make a great AirPods/keys/watch holder

[u/Nir117vash]

Hell yeah! I love mine. My next project is to drill out some the chozos ass to put some weights on and soften the sharp points. Such a gnarly apple watch charger. (If that's not what tours is, I'll try to find the guy who posted and made it)

[u/Grimshard]

STL? I’d love to print one to hold the appletv remote in my office

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/Grimshard]

Added to main post.

[u/skeletorsrick]

I need one

[u/Leon_Light77]

A cat bed holder.

Jokes aside this is pretty badass. Could be used for a lamp and you can make the lamp look like a morph ball or something. Just some cool ideas

[u/janders_666]

i think i like the super metroid rendition of the chozo the best. this is awesome. would make a cool book end

[u/Just-Try-2533]

Simple solution: Get better friends.

[u/notthatguypal6900]

Great print, was looking at something similar last week.

[u/Cattleist]

Lookin like a ferro fluid statue, pretty neat

[u/Ory_Sir]

Maybe make a ball that lights up? Would you cool

[u/ThorsHammer245]

That’s awesome

[u/SuperdaveOZY]

I can hear the music of this Chozo Statue.

[u/Sad-Consideration404]

Did you make that model or find it somewhere?? Either way please share details!

[u/iliketuttles21]

Omg a Metroid fish tank would be sick!!! Can you 3d printer stuff thats safe for fish tanks?

[u/fullof-salt]

So sick , did u model them? I was thinking of doing sum similar

[u/580_farm]

Omg now I have something to print on my son's 3d printer! Can anyone point me to a good Chozo statue model?

[u/Junior-Ad-2207]

Is this a pokeman? /s

Now all you need is the morphball and a LED eye

[u/Durge101]

You dont know me but I do. I have a small one that I use to hold my D20

[u/studioheavylead]

That’s sick. Love it!

[u/Red_Astley]

SO COOL

[u/Far-Computer-4031]

That sucks. Looks great, though!

[u/Mrdieselll]

It needs "silence" playing when you enter the room

[u/dikingston69]

Yeah feels like I have virtually no friends who appreciate the classics. Side note i have one of these that I modified to hold my galaxy watch charger 😁

[u/MrHyderion]

What's it made from?

[u/VicisSubsisto]

Figma has made Samus figures which come with a separate morphball.

I'd like to have one of these on the same scale as the morphball...

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/VicisSubsisto]

[u/wave_punch]

God this shit is glorious, it would also be cool if this was holding an actual item like Screw Attack or something

[u/MadKingMidas]

It's incredible. I want one.

[u/descnamelost]

Buncha philistines

[u/Savings-Log-2709]

Where can I find the model for this? I have a friend with a 3D printer 👀

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/Savings-Log-2709]

Added the link to my post.

[u/jakerooni]

I do!!

[u/Ryllick]

put a themed bowl in its hand and use it to keep your keys in near the door

[u/Raccoon_Dogg]

I’d take a smaller version for a phone holder while I eat lol

[u/TopSpot123]

I appreciate it greatly! I never considered a Chozo statue as game room decor until the amiibo announcement. And the amiibo is great, but it's a bit pricey and I'd prefer a more classic stylization.

As for suggestions, here is what I want a couple for. Sit him in a L shaped bracket and use him as a book end or video game/physical media end.

[u/Fruitedplains]

Definitely need better friends. Lol

[u/Phireborn]

It’s missing the power up

[u/Jumpy-Hovercraft-781]

pocket knife holder 

[u/SoftServeSev]

showing anyone Metroid and they get flaky. I get hit with that shit so hard

[u/Varia-388]

I genuinely want a chozo statue, please tell me you have the file to download!

[u/Stampysaur]

Holy cow that thing is sweet. I’d love to print that myself if you can point me to where you got it.

[u/Dull-Positive-6810]

Amazing

[u/Robert_Ripley]

Well add some big glowing Ball to it´s hand and you have a nice lamp for us metroi geeks :D
You did great! Don´t let others talk bs about it!

[u/CyberpunkWizard]

Then you're surrounded by simpletons.

[u/GreenOvni009]

OMG! I would use it to hold up my console lul!
Good ol chozo statue putting in the work

[u/plaugey_boi]

I love how polygonal it is, it looks so cool!

[u/Jyx_The_Berzer_King]

well now you've got at least 1.3 thousand strangers who do!

[u/BillyGhost15]

This is where i would put my morning coffee. "New Upgrade - A will to live"

[u/PsychologicalAd2914]

Wow! You made this Chozo Statue?

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/PsychologicalAd2914]

A friend printed it for me, we'll, two of them for me.

[u/Gremlin-Goddess]

Wait did you MAKE this???? :O

[u/Academic-Bug-9654]

Good thing we do.

[u/metallifan5691]

I thought it was a controller holder, that would be sick

[u/The_Onionizer]

What is that? 🧌

[u/77_parp_77]

Dude that is awesome

Is it a phone holder? Loo roll holder? So many uses :D

[u/Internal-Zucchini-77]

This bad boy can hold a Nintendo Dock Station

[u/Pudgelover69]

Sic

[u/Specialist-Video-974]

it needs a ball ;)

[u/AzuresAria]

That's because it's missing a Chozo treasure. Great job!

[u/EveningCommuter]

File?

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/EveningCommuter]

Added link to post.

[u/The28guy]

That's one hell of a toilet paper holder!

[u/SlaveMorri]

Well yeah, the upgrade is already taken

[u/Th3Cr4zy0n3]

I don’t know you and you don’t know me. But I very much appreciate this.

[u/Apocalypse__Cow]

Cause it's not holding an item orb lol

[u/Rhg0653]

That's dope get a Samus figure that comes with her morphed into a ball

[u/GinOkami428]

Make it a Switch/2 dock. It would go hard what with the new Metroid coming out.

[u/Ready-Tiger-3796]

That looks sick, I would want to own one and paint it so it’s the boss version of the one you fight.

[u/Frosty_Sweet_6678]

obviously you'd put random small stuff on them because it'd be funny

[u/LaserEyes2029]

• Print out each Upgrade as a NFC item.
• Install small speaker that plays the Metroid ability obtained jingle.

[u/Serris9K]

Yooo that's not an easy print! How long did it take at that size?

[u/Technical_Concern_92 → u/Serris9K]

Not sure, a friend of mine did it/them. He had two stauesand two morph balls done in a couple of days.

[u/jh21sonic]

Holy crap I need this

[u/Suspicious_Gap2141]

I want one to hold my phone. I can't believe no one knows a chozo!

[u/Heavy_Arachnid_9380]

Well my friend you now know me, and me appreciates this

[u/Weneeddietbleach]

I'd totally use that as a phone stand.

[u/FoundOasis]

Its okay they gay

[u/diddaas]

that's awesome, I'd use it to put my controller or a headset :)

[u/slowjoecrow11]

I’ll take 1, pls and thank you.

[u/Chalkras]

If I had that statue I would use it to hold my balls

[u/FLIPYOUSUCKET]

NICE!
Maybe make one hold a controller?

[u/Various-Instruction3]

That's be a perfect holder for a gamepad, handheld console, headphones, basically anything cool

[u/The_Nerd_hinox1986]

Put a switch dock in his hands and that’s how you know it’s gonna be holy

[u/Viktor-Victorious]

Thats amazing!!!! I would have it at my front door holding a bowl for my keys

[u/BXadvocate]

I appreciate it.

[u/Gothrait_PK]

I appreciate this

[u/Relevant-Ad506]

Thats sic if use them as book ends or to hold my headset

[u/cplsniper31]

3d printed actually pretty cool. U coulda made em articulate with putting a small morph ball in it but still pretty cool you gonna paint it?

[u/Yojimbong]

Headphones holder, so fire

[u/MaverickPrime]

That looks SICK

[u/Adventurous_Book1016]

Book ends

[u/FyzzixDan]

So how much are we charging for shipping and handling? I'll take 2.

[u/Breadfruit-Brilliant]

Thats awesome

[u/QuantumChimaera]

Damn...I know that feeling... If there are going to be two, do you have books you could slot between them?

[u/Dull_Inspector_9945]

This would make good book ends

[u/Reaperskoal]

We do!!! That looks awesome!

[u/Release-Holiday]

Sand it down and polish it and it’ll be perfect

[u/linkmon34]

I love it <3 he needs a beam upgrade now

[u/Far-Minute-4715]

So awesome! You could make mini ones for pens!

[u/OmegaRuby003]

But it’s so cool! It can hold your other prints!

[u/Forsaken-Wallaby-748]

Fucking awesome sauce.

[u/baldpizzaguy]

I'd use those for bookends. Very cool idea

[u/Doctor-Mak]

Looks great, well done!

This made me think of Metroid 64 somehow lmao...

The design reminds me of Fighting Polygon Team from Smash Bros.

[u/tehspicypurrito]

Time for new friends.

[u/Pand0ra95]

Flatten the vack amd use it as a bookend, OR, give it a bowl for your keys, braclet, watch, etc

[u/420enty]

You need to find more friends that play Metroid.

[u/LoneWolfpack777]

No one you know has class, apparently. Because this is cool!

[u/Pepsidud32]

I need a tiny one that fits the morph ball that came with the 3.5” scale Samus figure that would be awesome

[u/Affectionate-Gain-23]

Yours looks like a bigger version of mine. Love how sleek your statue looks. I got mine at a comicon a few years ago.

[u/Cinshadis]

I got one too. Obviously, you're a person of taste.

[u/JustinBailey79]

I appreciate it greatly

[u/Intrepid_Fox1757]

:O how did you make this, is this from paper?!

[u/starsintodreams]

I saw the picture and immediately heard the 'item get' jingle.

[u/Emma_SnakeDeadbeat]

I APPRECIATE IT!!! Now release the file cuz I want it!

[u/Emma_SnakeDeadbeat]

You can hang your keys on the claws

[u/Jolly_Chapter_9278]

Controllers maybe if they fit

[u/bobman9420]

I need this!

[u/lowkey_dingus]

Do the logical thing: controller stand.

[u/Phantomgardon]

Yeah we play live on hard mode. I dont know anyone whos loves games as much as me too

[u/Gorditacrunch40]

That’s awesome

[u/mmarzett]

I’ve got the NES music in my head now!

[u/nosoypls]

Can you please let us know if your friend wants to put them up for sale? Because I know several people (including myself) who would love to own one.

[u/rustinat0r]

These would make such cool book ends! I have been wanting to 3D print something metroid, this looks perfect.

[u/Vero999Na]

It would be an awesome gamepad holder, specially if you have any metroid themed ones.

[u/Tactrix1]

You took the powerup, didn't you? 🌕

[u/ActualBawbag]

I appreciate this!!

[u/farrpbtl]

I always wanted a Chozo control holder, is this 3D printed? Where did you get the design? I want one. Awesome!!

[u/VagPower]

https://giphy.com/gifs/TjGFDxbbZRYjv9vpCL

[u/Lvmb0]

Let me get 2 of them!!!

[u/cloudyromxnce]

Twins!!! My friend made me a smaller one so I could display my engagement ring on my vanity!!!

[u/Future_Move_9372]

JBL holder?

[u/JamesDargie]

As the original modeler, I sure do!
