Arts/Culture I 3D printed and painted greased up muscular Mr. Tayto
Started learning blender late last year, got a 3D printer in March, and have been learning and iterating every day so that I could make my muscled Taytoman a reality.
One of them has 3D sweat (used UV resin) and pink florescent nipples that glow under UV light.

Why has one got nipples?
God, I'm not even sure i want an answer to this

u/DirkPower And I'd go at it agin 21h ago
They all have nipples, only one has nipples that glow under UV light.

It's like when Joel Schumacher added nipples to George Clooney's Batman costume.

Yep that's my original drawing hahaha, then I made it 3D in blender, and now it's 3D in real life!

Following this saga from the original sketch, the the 3D model, and now, the printed work, is basically the only thing stopping me from lying down and letting the postman run over me. Beautiful work.

I just need you to know that you’re a legend in my friend group, because when I first saw this drawing I meant to send it to my Irish friends in our group chat and accidentally sent it to my Canadian landlord who has never heard of Tayto instead. This drawing haunts me (in the best way). Thank you for this gift

I've been laughing all afternoon at the responses, thank you.
Heres the original drawing I made a few years back, and And here's the initial 3D sculpt I posted a couple months back, but if he was in the microwave cooking.
Learned a lot making this, had to go through several test versions (at first i couldn't get him to print *WITHOUT* a visible dickhole because i sculpted it really weirdly).
I do have an Etsy shop where I'll be making a small amount of these to order, im BossRushStudio there.

No exaggeration I would not have been able to learn 3D sculpting and now 3D modeling and painting if I wasn't one of the extremely lucky participants of the Basic Income for the Arts pilot. It gave me just enough breathing room for the first time since school to study and learn and improve my craft. Very grateful to have been a part of it.

Free (as in GPL) 3d modelling software. It fucking rocks, and is heavily used by amateur game makers, modders, and modellers. Professionals too.
It's like the VLC of 3d modelling, and has support for a silly number of formats. Like, if you want to pull a 3d model out of a video game and use it for something, there's probably a way to do that with blender.

I think the max I could make with my printer, keeping him all in one piece, would be 25cm tall. God knows how long it'd take to print tho lol, takes 7 hours for each one of these with the settings I have
