3D PRINTING A LIFE SIZE T-REX

Penny

3D Printed T-Rex


Completion of the printing was achieved just before Christmas 2022, and the project was started on May 9th 2022.

Statistics
368 Separate prints

5328 total print  hours

Print Settings varied

0.8 nozzle with 0.4 layer height
1mm nozzle with 0.5 layer height

Printers used

Creality CR-10 S5 (May - Mid August)

Creality CR-10 Max (Mid August to End November)

Bambu Lab X1 Carbon (Dec to the completion)

His plan was to stick to using only one printer at any given time to prove you don't need a print farm to achieve big things.
The Bambu Lab X1C was the favorite printer able to print at 5 times the speed of the Creality and without time wasted tuning.

Filament was ESUN PLA Plus
Coated with 2 pot epoxy resin after pieces joined.

Total Filament used: 162.9 KG

Joining of pieces was achieved using a 3D printing Pen and a soldering iron.
