Beetlejuice 3D Printing Figurine | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

Beetlejuice is a mischievous and chaotic ghost with a flair for the dramatic. Known for his wild black-and-white striped suit, unruly green hair, and exaggerated facial expressions, he embodies a blend of dark humour and eccentricity. Beetlejuice is infamous for his crude jokes, unpredictable behaviour, and tendency to stir up trouble, often making situations more chaotic than they already are. Summoned by saying his name three times, he offers his services as a "bio-exorcist" to the recently deceased Maitland couple, who are trying to scare away the new living inhabitants of their home. Despite his off-putting personality, he has a certain charm that makes him an unforgettable character. The world of Beetlejuice is a bizarre, twisted version of the afterlife, filled with grotesque imagery, quirky characters like Lydia Deetz, and a darkly horror comedic tone that turns the conventional haunting story on its head.

Our contributing 3D artist paid special attention to the design of this Beetlejuice figurine, and the resulting 3D print is a testament to the artist's dedication and talent. Beetlejuice is depicted near his tombstone, which bears the inscription 'Here Lies Betelgeuse". The attention to detail is incredible!

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Beetlejuice figurine for 3D printing is a static assembly figurine and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 66 hours in total. The figurines' anatomy and proportions were thoroughly reviewed during the moderation process for the superhero to be depicted harmoniously in the intended pose.

The figurine’s cutting was chosen by our team to minimise the amount of generated support and some of the parts were hollowed out for you to save resin in the Eco version. In order to conceal the places where the assembly parts of the figurine are connected, Beetlejuice was divided into convenient assembly parts.

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 2.0 version are provided in STL files in recommended positions that were worked out in order 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. When downloading any model's file you will also receive "Assembly Manual" for FFF/FDM 2.0 and DLP/SLA 1.0 versions in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to Beetlejuice.

The model 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 figurine’s scale was calculated from the height of Beetlejuice. The 3D printing figurine’s chosen scales are 1:8 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:16 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
