Lion-O Bust 3D Printing Figurine | Assembly

ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL

ThunderCats franchise depicts the adventures of a team of cat-like humanoid aliens, who after the destruction of their home planet are forced to relocate to Third Earth planet and find a way to defeat the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra. Lion-O is a powerful hero, the leader and hereditary “Lord of the ThunderCats”. A child in a man’s body, Lion-O has to participate in “Anointment Trials”, which consist of contests of strength, speed, cunning, and mind-power, to learn what it takes to become a real leader, gain true maturity and wield the Sword of Omens. 

As a big fan of the franchise collection whose childhood was marked by the ThunderCats animated television series, our contributing 3D artist spent a lot of time creating the bust that would be as close to the original appearance of the character as possible. The facial expression of Lion-O speaks of the furiousity and decisiveness of the hero. The design of the bust is worked out in minute detail, the face of the thunderian conveys the character of Lion-O so vividly. This unique and eye-catching figurine will make your collection absolutely impressive and original!   

ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING

Lion-O Bust for 3D printing is a static assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took the Gambody team 35 hours in total. The impressively detailed figurine in its assembly version was divided into as many assembly parts as needed to fit even the smallest 3D printers' build plates and for you to receive a huge 3D printed piece after assembly.

The cutting of Lion-O Bust 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. 

All assembly parts in the FFF/FDM 1.0 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 1.0 version in PDF format. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly Video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to Lion-O Bust.

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 Lion-O. The 3D printing figurine’s chosen scales are 1:3 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:6 for the DLP/SLA/SLS versions.
