Murderbot 3D Print Part 3 - FILES!!!

It's what many of you have been waiting for! THE 3D FILES!

The price??? It's free!

That's a lie, the price is actually that you send me pictures of the results so I can have the joy of seeing what you all make. (I mean it, this is a threat)

Based on comments so far, it seems like this will be the first dive into 3D printing and figure painting for some people so I'll go through some of my approach to give you an idea of how I got to this result.

This is actually my first time sculpting, printing and then painting something to completion, so I am not experienced and you can totally do it too. As you may see from my blog I am primarily a digital artist and I occasionally do gouache and ink work, I have literally never painted or sculpted a figure before. (This counts as foreshadowing if you run into any problems with my files lmao)

Sculpting:

I sculpted the model in Nomad Sculpt on my Ipad and tidied things up in blender. I am still a massive beginner with sculpting so I incorporated pieces from some other freely available models to assist me (these are credited in the listing with the model). You don't have to worry about this part!

Printing:

I printed this on my MARS ELEGOO 2 printer. The settings I used for my print are included on the model listing; with these settings the model took about 7.5 hours to print.

The Files

I have uploaded 3 different file formats, a .stl, a .chitubox and a .ctb. An stl is the basic 3D model on its own, it can be opened in most 3D software if you are looking to edit it and it can be imported into any slicing software (slicing is the process of cutting any model into layers for the printer). If you use this file you will have to add the supports to the model yourself (supports are very important in preventing catastrophic print failure).

The .chitubox and .ctb files are specifically from the slicing program I use which is chitubox. The .chitubox program is for the model with the supports for printing attached and the .ctb file is the sliced file that is ready for the printer. VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE is that these two files are sized and prepared based on my 3D printer dimensions. If you want to use these files, I recommend checking either files in chitubox (and have it set up for the model printer you will be using) and checking the size before going ahead with printing. If the size is too big for your printer you will have to resize the model and add the supports again but you can use the files I have supplied as reference.

I specifically used Chitubox 64 for this as Chitubox basic hates me and won't slice the model so it is solid inside. Printing something solid is easier to print than printing it hollow and trying to cure the resin trapped inside/drain the model (uncured resin is nasty nasty and will also generate gas that builds up pressure and will crack your print).

I recommend using either the basic stl for printing or starting with the .chitubox file and setting up the slicing settings by yourself. The ctb is a good reference for how things should look but probably not the best starting point to guarantee a successful print. If you add supports yourself, I recommend looking up some youtube videos on how to properly support a model, and what parts of a model need the most support and avoiding visible marks on your models from supports.

Post-Printing

Its important to clean and cure your print properly after its done, but if you are getting it done at the library or somewhere else you may not have to worry about this.

To remove the supports I used a heat gun to warm and soften the resin supports and little clippers my friends use for gundam to cut them as flush to the model as possible.

The next thing you want to do is sanding, sand down the marks from the supports, any lines or imperfections from the printing. Resin is relatively soft so this is not hard. I personally bought some cheap sandpaper that went from 400-1000 grit, glued it to icecream sticks, disposable knives and some flat toothpick things and used that to get into small crevices. Sand with wet paper to prevent resin dust going everywhere.

Painting

After sanding I sprayed the model with a primer, I specifically used Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 in white. This was my choice simply because its what my local gundam store had and I chose white because I didn't want to use a darker base coat that I had to lighten for the armor (simply put most of the model is white and white is a pain in the ass to paint opaquely)

After this I went in with my standard run-of-the-mill acrylic paints. The key to getting a smooth finish with no brush marks and lumps is to thin/smooth out the paint a little with water and build up the colour in layers.

I painted my base colours (white for the armor, black for the shoes and visor and a dark grey for the suit underneath the armor). To get a cool beaten-up effect I laid some light blue into areas on the armor where shadows would fall, after that I dabbed panel line accent colour which gets into the crevices and lines of the print and accents them (you can also just use really watered down black paint for this, I was lucky to borrow supplies from a warhammer 40k friend). I also covered parts of the armor with it and rubbed it off for a grimy effect and then dabbed some brown paint in for extra colour variation. I then came in and dry-brushed some lighter colours on the dark areas and fixed up the white where I wanted it brighter.

Then finally I coated the whole thing in a matte varnish to protect it and it was done!! My own Murderbot completed!!

Hopefully if you haven't done something like this before, this helps you get started There are dozens and dozens of great tutorials out there for more info or if you want to take your design in a different direction to mine.

Most importantly?? Have fun!!

If you have any issues or questions feel free to message me and we can work on it together!

Greetings!! Just wanted to know if maybe you could do something with Law or Zoro on how they would be like with a Gyaru reader. I’m a Gyaru and i was just curious about how it would be like with them with my lifestyle lol

Hello hello! Thank you for the request❤️ I apologize in advance because I know basically nothing about the Gyaru style or subculture so I just went based on what I found on Google, so if there's anything wrong or potentially offensive, feel free to point it out.

Warnings/Tags:

None

______________________________

Law:

- It mostly depends on if you're with his crew or not.

- if you're on his crew then you're probably gonna have to follow a dress code since we see the rest of the crew wears the same jumpsuits.

- but like most rule books you could probably find loopholes to add some accessories or makeup to your uniform and it pisses him off each time you find a flaw in his rules.

- but if you're not on his crew then of course it's different.

- He seems like the type of person doesn't like the look of heavy makeup so the first time he sees that style of makeup he's definitely gonna stare

- If you're stereotypical with both the look and personality then he's gonna eternally sigh

- He doesn't need another social butterfly to talk his ears off along with Luffy.

- But overall he doesn't care other people's clothes don't affect him, it'll probably be something he's gonna have to get used to, and you'll probably catch him glaring from time to time, but he's not such an ass that he'd try and get you I change

Zoro:

- Zoro has seen all sorts of people so seeing your sort of style doesn't phase him

- I imagine if he sees you applying your makeup he'll just walk up to you confused and just peel off one of the false eyelashes and just stare at it confused and thinking it was your real eyelashes

-Zoro is definitely an underdresser and might see all your bright colour's, accessories as an eyesore

- But he's not gonna say anything about it because he knows he's gonna get his ass beat, whether it's from you, the other girls or Sanji for saying something mean.

- I think just like Law it would take some time to get used to it but he's respectful enough to keep his mouth shut because it's not his clothes so why should he care?

Once again I apologize if it's not good and feel free to correct me for anything and I'll try and post tomorrow

Roevember Day 6: Storm

How many times does she have to teach you this lesson, old man?

[finiteuniverse13]

SAS: Rogue Heroes, The Old Guard AU

Bill Fraser and Jock McDiarmid - Derfel and Finan, to those who've been dead long enough to know their original names - are members of the Old Guard.

Derfel died in his service of Arthur and rose again, a warrior anew. One who's bones mended and wounds sealed as if they'd never been there. He can't age, can't stay dead. He's been alive since the 5th century, and appears to be in it for the long run.

Finan died on the slave ship, pneumonia destroying his immune system one pull at a time. He woke up dreaming of a Scottish warrior, one who fought for his people. It takes him a lifetime to find Derfel, long after his service to Uthred was over. The Scot had been travelling south for a while, if Finan's dreams are to believed, and Finan meets him finally on an unremarkable day in an unremarkable field.

They live and die together for over a thousand years. Derfel - William - has never turned down a needy cause, as Finan - James - has never turned down a fight. They've travelled Europe, by boat and land. They've watched the rise and fall of kings and their kingdoms, have built homesteads and had them burnt by those who believed them the devils, unable to be killed.

By the time Bill joins the SAS, he's exhausted. His commanding officers insist on finding jollity in the war, and his silent experience lends him a battle hardiness not usually known. His men respect him regardless, and for that he's grateful.

Jock approached the SAS with the delight of a man who sees the potential for some very large explosions. The fact that Bill was already involved is an unexpected bonus. Add the fact that they already know what Bill is, and they haven't excommunicated him for it? Even better! It means they can have sword spars in the main square!

[symerr]

I finally got fed up enough with how my Sim looked that I edited several CC we have specifically to use for me (as well as hand-making some makeup swatches).

[nillisaie]

So instead of trying to handsew a stretchy fabric and risk ending up with something I don't really like, I made a f/o beret ❤️

It's not perfect, but also I'm still very new to crocheting. I've only really made a few small things and this is my first biggest crochet project

I look like an angry deer :3

Odinson twin manifesto

Part two: IMPLICATIONS

Or: Why should you see Thor and Loki as adoptive twins? What does this reading add to the story? (Part one [evidence] here)

Thor and Loki don't look related, much less like twins. But the idea of them being twins would help deflect accusations of bastardry, because if you question Loki's parentage, you (apparently) have to question Thor's too. Even if you doubt it, what are the chances of a bastard being the exact same age as a legitimate son? It's almost a mind game on Odin and Frigga's part - telling such an obvious lie that surely it has to be the truth, because how else could they be getting away with it?

Thor and Loki each look far more like their birth fathers than they do each other. They are, arguably, the Jotun/Asgardian rivalry incarnate. Copies of their fathers, generational cycles, intertwined histories... I've long held that Odin and Laufey's enmity seems personal, and by making Loki his son, Odin made it even more so.

But at the same time, Loki has been made to look much more like Odin and Thor than he naturally would... He is an artificial twin and an artificial copy of an Asgardian.

Thor and Loki's signature colours (red/green) are complementary. Jotun and Asgardian pigmentation are also complementary colours. They look so different on the surface, but beneath the surface, there's so much symmetry.

The perception of Thor and Loki (in fandom and in-world) includes this pervasive (but not very well-founded) idea of them as strong vs weak, and healthy vs sickly. In-world, perhaps people have been assuming that some of their differences came out about via Thor leeching all of Loki's nutrients in utero - which projects their rivalry back to before they were even born.

Twinhood intensifies everything about their relationship -codependence, rivalry, power struggles... They are inseparable, mutually-defining opposites, and they always have been. They are each how the other learnt to relate to other people in general. Their very first and closest companion; possibly each other's first memories.

Twinhood means they will have grown up sharing everything - friends, birthdays, bedrooms, symbols from Odin's helmet - even, in theory, an inheritance. But they can't share forever. Only one of them can be crowned. They walk side by side, until they can't any more. The succession crisis is inevitable! You cannot have twin princes and expect it not to cause problems!

The idea that Thor is not actually older adds a real edge to the times when he acts like he is, and a weight to Loki saying that he wanted to be Thor's equal. Like, if they're twins... why are they demonstrably not equals? Why can Thor even say "know your place" - Why is Loki's place known to be beneath Thor? The power struggle is far from one-sided, and far from spontaneous. Thor keeps Loki down as much as Loki tries to overthrow Thor. There is something larger and deeply sinister at work here.

(Of course age dictating rank is always unjust (everything about monarchy is unjust!) - But that injustice will be so much more visceral and maddening for Loki if the age difference is allegedly minutes, not years. A tiny, meaningless accident of birth, defining them both forever...)

There's also the question of how real their relationship is. We pretty much all agree that adopted brothers can be "real" brothers... but can adopted twins be "real" twins? How deep does the bond have to go to count? Is being infants together enough? Newborns? Do they have to actually have shared a womb to claim to bond they always thought they had?

Resonance with Thanos and the idea of cutting the world in half. Thor and Loki as two halves of a whole, one destined to die (over and over) and one to live (on and on no matter how many loved ones he loses.) A cruel supposed-necessity of the myth that is their lives.

Weren't Vili and Ve twins [in comic canon]? Twins are genetic. This would also lend credence to the lie.

And if Loki and Thor are Vili and Ve... Does that not make Odin Hela?

I'll admit that many of these things aren't strictly twin-specific, but I feel like the twins reading just adds a little extra power to it all! It's not a hill I'd die on, but I do REALLY enjoy rotating it in my mind.

Ted and Liddy's house

Though it's been added onto over the years, the original structure of this sprawling farmhouse dates back to Barge Harbor's founding.

It's a well-known fact that all respectable old houses need a ghost or two, and the current owners swear the piano room is haunted. It certainly seems colder than the rest of the house . . . but that could just be due to poor insulation.

The owners also seem prone to clutter, so it's a good thing they have so much room to spread out in.

But what is that gaudy structure they're building in the yard?
