Heyo 405th! so, i have a thread over in the 3D modeling section where i'm basically just systematically going through and bringing every single gun from every single halo game into the 3D printing realm! now, obviously, i'm gonna make some of em! i've actually been working on and off for a WHILE, but only just starting to get somewhere with em! now, i started with the halo 4 carbine on my personal printer, but thanks to my job as the sole technician in my university's fabrication lab, i have 24/7 access to a bank of 3 printers (two printrbots and an ultimaker2) that very rarely get used. so, after asking a bajillion times to make sure it was alright for me to basically 3D print a GUN, i started printing the halo 5 customizable AR over there!
So, let's start with the Carbine!
So this is where it's at now, looking ENORMOUS, as most of the halo guns are.
I attempted a long print over the weekend to knock out a huge portion of the pieces, but it ended up failing in the weirdest way. i'm used to a big spaghetti ball, but this was a semi-successful print that just came out... fuzzy. certainly weird. also a good lesson in not doing 80 hour prints and leaving it unattended!
That's it for the initial post, next up is the AR!
