Heinous Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Forgive me for not remembering whose shop it is, but I'm pretty sure they 3D print all that stuff right? I don't know how much time some thing like belts or helmets take to create, but why not go for something people often request like a flaming motorcycle? I'm sure there are plenty of people that pay 20-30 bucks for that. I'm sure there's other things like that that people would shell out money for But like I said, I don't know how hard that'd be, may not be worth their time or even they don't have the time.

Onyx_6 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 If i’m Not mistaken, shapeways prints the stuff. People like @Dave create the design in a 3d design software and upload/share it on shapeways. I believe the creator gets a cut of the price you pay to have it printed. Dave’s stuff is amazing, but I can’t justify paying the shapeways prices to get it. I have a 3d printer, but I don’t have the skills (or patience) (or knowledge) to create something for Minimates. I’ve tried, but I think I need better software. It would be great to get a bike like that. Painting it would be a challenge though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I thought it would be coolest to have the motorcycle (or mammoth) be a lower body piece that would take the place of the legs and crotch pieces. Have a peg that fits into the Minimate’s torso. Sculpt the legs onto the bike so you don’t have to worry about the limited hip movement of Minimates.

I also would want crossed legs so we could replicate sitting Indian style for our sorcery friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCW Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've bought some cool Minimates stuff from Shapeways. But I am guessing it would be cost prohibitive to design a bike or something larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
