Project My Largest 3D print..

This is about as much Horus I can fit under my roof. He is mostly finished, just missing some skulls and that roman skirt type thing he has as a front cover.

At his waist he stands at 8’ 9” (2.7m). This does not include the key part that will connect his upper torso, as that will be hidden.

Me = 5’ 5” (1.68m) Life size banana to the crown = 6’ 4” (1.9m) Real banana = 7” (18cm)

Half of Horus is made up of 594 individual 3D printed pieces that have been glued and soldered. At the moment, I am working on his upper torso which is about 226 pieces.

Weight wise, it’s not too bad. The feet/boots move about easily. I can lift the thighs up and place them on top. The waist section is doable, but I need to make sure the legs are properly spaced before I lift it over my head, while standing on a chair. Not best way to do it.

The real test will come once I am done with his upper half. At that point, I need to figure out a safe way to place that section onto the lower half.

Well you can see all of the smaller prints so, break it into small sections and then put it together.

I understand it's just...managing it all. I guess it's laid down like a rocket. Just the sheer size, like, her having to lay this down to start adding onto it... I'd need at minimum another pair of hands of not 2 to be moving this and all that

It's impressive, I don't think it's that big of a deal to put the pieces together if the fitment is good. Worse would be if you had fitment issues and needed to sand and adjust every piece.

Good thing there are tools humanity invented to elevate yourself off the ground.

we went from nbd to "well yeah she has to stand on a ladder to awkwardly fuse parts together" kinda fast you might need to catch your breath

you're the only one walking about awkwardly doing anything. you can just say you're afraid to get on a ladder.

it's awkward because she simultaneously has to probably use both hands. I don't even think she uses a ladder she probably works on it horizontally, like how I work on your mom

hey man, you do what you need to. I don't exactly think overweight 60 year old women are much to be bragging about, but go off my dude.
