Hello, December. One more month and we say farewell to 2017 and greet a new year. This blog post is about 3D printed miniatures that you’ve been sharing with us recently. As you probably already know, Gambody is running a Global 3D Printing Day campaign which enables you to redeem up to 50% of the model’s price into your Gambody account balance.
The current campaign is a continuation of the previous one but now you need to share short videos of your 3D prints instead of pictures. The conditions are the same. Use the hashtag #Gambody3DPrints and get the chance to redeem up to 50% of the model’s price.
This month, we’ve been lucky enough to witness some of the coolest 3D prints that our customers shared. Since there are so many posts, we are unable to fit them all in one post. That’s why our editorial team has chosen some of their favorites.
Sit comfortably in front of your screen. There’s good stuff to see.
K-2SO
Get one of Star Wars robots in the real world with the help of 3D printing. This is what Jakub has done and he doesn’t regret it. For a more impressive result, he scaled the model up to 170%. And, actually, the 3D miniature went to his best friend.
Maker: Jakub JElen Jelínek
3D printing versions: one version split into 16 parts.
Does it require assembly: Yes
Groot
Groot is keeping his popularity at a high level for the last several months. We literally have been bombarded with Groots from our customers. But we don’t mind it because each Groot is special in its own way.
Makers: Paulo Varella, Nicolas Lopez, Jakub Jelen Jelinek, Filipi Gabriel, and Sabine Schröder
3D printing versions: There are two versions available for FDM and DLP/SLA 3D printers.
Does it require assembly? Yes
Harley Quinn
Amazing Harley takes the stage with this impressive 3D print made in ABS. The surface is smoothed with acetone. Two people joined their efforts to achieve the result we all can see now. Sabine’s friend was in charge of the 3D printing process while Sabine herself used her painting skills and dressed the 3D miniature in the best way.
Maker: Sabine Schröder
3D printing versions: one version available in a single file.
Does it require assembly? No
Wolverine
We got two Wolverines and both of them are fantastic. We couldn’t pick just one, that’s why we’re featuring both of them.
Makers: Cristiano Souza and Shih Chun-hao

Does it require assembly? No
Gipsy Danger
This miniature is no miniature at all. Standing 48 cm tall, this baby is scaled up to 185%.
Maker: Nicolas Dafnis
3D printing versions: one and is broken down into 15 parts.
Does it require assembly? Yes
Rifleman
You can’t go wrong with 3D printing a Mech. Mechs are everybody’s favorites. If you still can’t decide which one to start with, have a look at this badass Rifleman, 3D printed and painted by Alwin Chan. Alwin spent a lot of time to make the Mech look its best. He primed it, smoothed its surface and now his painting job is in the final stage. Have a look at a couple of pictures the maker shared with our audience on Facebook.
Maker: Alwin Chan
3D printing versions: two versions consisting of 28 and 6 STL file.

Illidan
Illidan miniature for 3D printing needs no introduction. This one is printed at 0.2 mm layer height and is awaiting its glorious moment to be painted. Can you imagine how it will look when finished?
Maker: Enrico Maria Barbieri
3D printing versions: two versions for FDM/FFF and DLP/SLS/SLA 3D printers. The former consists of 18 parts and the latter – of one part.

Durotan
This guy features a lot of details. But fear not. It is perfectly printable. Joao proved it. He 3D printed the model at 130% his original size. And it came out flawlessly.
Maker: Joao Claudio
3D printing versions: one version available consisting of 13 parts.
Does it require assembly? Yes
Reinhardt
A customized Reinhardt, with additional Chaplain detail on the back. Our customers never stop to amaze us and show that 3D printing has no limits.
Maker: Fred Breton
3D printing versions: one version available consisting of 5 parts.
Does it require assembly? Yes
Vulcan Tank
Even though we see a popular trend among our customers in 3D printing mostly video game characters, tanks, and other war vehicles follow closely behind. It’s always a big event when someone 3D prints a tank. Also, as known, tanks tend to have a lot of small details that DIY-ers don’t really fancy fussing around with. But it is not the case with the Vulcan Tank. Although it features a lot of intricate details, the design is user-friendly and allows you to 3D print it without too much effort. Follow the guidelines in the Printing Details tab of the model’s page and witness it with your own eyes.
Maker: Joao Claudio
3D printing versions: one version available consisting of 12 parts.
Does it require assembly? Yes
Merkava 2 Tank
Printed on a Da Vinci Pro 3D printer, the miniature of this famous war vehicle was destined to be marvelous. The 3D printed managed to accurately recreate all the small details of the miniature. Kenneth, the maker behind this beast, also painted it.
Can you believe that one can build such an accurate representation of the true Merkava 2 tank out of 46 parts created on a 3D printer?
Maker: Kenneth Sturrock
3D printing versions: one version available consisting of 46 parts.
Does it require assembly? Yes
