Mikemc Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Hello Something unusual. On the cgtrader website I found a RoboCop Cain model for 3D printing. The model is scaled to a scale of 1: 6. It is designed as a puppet for time-lapse photos (inspired by the original models used for FX effects during filming). The model contains instructions in PDF format. I took some shortcuts. It will be a static model and reduced to a scale of 1: 8 ( about 32 cm high). This will make assembly a little easier, and secondly my printer will not print such large elements. A few photos of the beginning of the project: Edited January 10, 2020 by Mikemc 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG2Si Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 That looks great. I always wanted a model of Cain. And a decent ED209. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricLightAndy Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Amazing stuff, I can see company's of the near future releasing less mainstream subjects as purchasable 3d printed 'kits' oooh the possibilities! I look forward to seeing it progress! Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Looking great! I've always thought that Cain was frightning as h... when I saw the movie oh so many moons ago! Looking forward to seeing this finished! Cheers Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Looks really good! The robot Cain was the only decent part of Robocop 2, unfortunately. The whole movie stank of "cash-grab" and was not even a tenth as good as the Paul Verhoeven original. Chris.

Mikey-1980 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Most impressive! Does the access point for Cain's addiction to NUKE open up too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemc Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 You can make it open. In my case will be closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kushan_Farsight Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 @Mikemc how do you find the Photon as a printer? We have an old Photocentric LC-10, but are now considering getting a new resin printer in house as the screen resolutions and improved reliability of MSLA printers is increasing by the day. Look forwards to seeing how this comes out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemc Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Still playing with photon and so far is ok. One down side, that you are limited to the small printing area, but so far its fits my purposes. Good quality prints and equipment is relativly cheep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWaz Modeler Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hey Great Work so far! any more updates? I too am Building Cain (Based in the U.K.),.. But going for the full 1/6 Printed FDM,. I am not realising this is going to cost a small fortune! i'm going to start a thread of my own so not to hijack your thread! if you going for a 1/6 version have you thought about the hardware you'll use? if you run into issues hit me up and maybe we can resolve them together Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gonna stick to 1/8 scale. Main reason that Anycubic priter has limited space for printing big elements. Other hand that shuld be static model and 1:8 scale will be easer dealing on shelf. So far some small progress. Still printing elements. Main structure of "upper parts" are assambled. There are some fiting issue. Not sure d/t resaizing the model or some flaw od digital model. Anyway it is nothing that I won't handle. Cheers 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWaz Modeler Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Nice! i've just taken the plunge and bought an SLA Printer,. ive been toying with the idea for some time now and trying to get hold of the Gundam Parts/ Hot-up options is either nearly impossible or too expencive so may as well Resin print them,.. and it'll help me in my other work too! Keep the updates coming,. I may end up swapping some parts out to build a Hybrid between the two Machines! 🤔 Edited May 9, 2020 by DWaz Modeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Mike, I just did a catch up of the thread. Impressive as heck! It looks more aggressive than the ED209. I remember the original film, and ED209 but not this one, not sure why. I must have watched the second movie, or did I? I'll keep watching, With interest.

Reelyator Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 ...very nice! And 1/6 scale is HUUUUGE! Size matters. can you already guess, how big the final figure will be? I am right now working on the ED-209 wich is not the smallest guy in 1/9 scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemc Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Original digital model is scaled to 1/6. I resized and printed elements in 1/8 scale. But it will be still quite huge model. Over 30cm hight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
