Shin Godzilla 3D Printing Figurine | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D FIGURINE

Shin Godzilla is a destructive monster who is seen wrecking the streets of Tokyo in the course of Japanese kaiju film Godzilla: Resurgence. Being exposed to nuclear material dumped into the ocean, a prehistoric marine lifeform developed an ability to feed on radiation and mutate into a gigantic creature. The powers that the monster was endowed with make Shin Godzilla seemingly invincible. Its atomic breath in combination with atomic beams sent from its numerous dorsal plates are so powerful that can slice through multiple skyscrapers all the way to the skyline of the city. The monster of the Shin Godzilla continuity is famous for its incredible evolutionary capacity and throughout the 2016 Godzilla film’s running time assumed 5 forms! The author of this 3D printing figurine decided to depict the fourth one and spent 230 hours in total to create a Gojira that is actually very much akin to traditional Godzilla appearances, unlike its other four forms. ‘The incarnation of God’ for 3D printing is portrayed fully bipedal, with developed dense rows of dorsal plates and multiple rows of gnarled teeth sticking in and out of the monster’s enormous mouth. The shapeshifter 3D printing figurine looks as if towering above a half-destroyed city, surrounded by combined Japanese military force that barely does any harm. We are sure that this ruthless victim of the atomic bomb will be a huge representative of one’s 3D printed kaiju collection!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Shin Godzilla is a static assembly figurine and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 49 hours in total. The huge figurine was divided into as many assembly parts as needed to fit even the smallest 3D printers' build plates and for you to nevertheless receive a giant 3D printed kaiju after assembly. The cutting of Shin Godzilla itself was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of filament needed for generated support and some of the model’s parts were hollowed out for you to save resin. In order to receive the cleanest result possible all dorsal plates located along the monster’s back all the way to the tail were extracted and are now provided as 49 separate parts, each having a designated assembly notch. All assembly parts are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out so to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. 

The figurine is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.

The model's scale was calculated from Shin Godzilla's actual height that is 118500 mm. The 3D printing figurine's chosen scale is 1/250 for the FFF/FDM version and 1/500 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
