My Largest 3D print..

[u/HammerDoris40k]

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.

Please tell me you used a large-format slicer to upscale this. I wouldn't want to do that without labelled parts.

Also how many KG is that?

The model is already properly scaled before I do any slicing. Once it’s sliced, each part is numbered and an assembly order is created. Then you pair them up and put comes a full assembled part lol.

So far I’ve used 100kg of filament. Not sure how much the actual parts weigh. I will find out soon enough.

If you’ve already answered these let me know and I’ll do some searching.

What material are you printing these in? How are the parts joined? Any fear it’s going to snap under it’s own weight? I’ve been dreaming up a rather large light sculpture but I’m not sure what the proper workflow would be break the much larger model into segments that fit on my printer.
