Anyone got these guys before or have any of the older designs? Shipped from Australia for a hefty fee, discovered these are actually way tinier than their pics suggest, slight imperfections in the clips (which makes assembly slightly scary), but amazingly posable for their size...

I kinda like it now that I put together one of em. They almost feel straight outta Total Annihilation and Planetary Annihilation.

Found em here while I was looking for more 3D printed (after discovering MechaZone) robot actionfigures:

How are they sold out on something that should basically be made to order?

That's what I find pretty weird, probably the guy prints a set of them, runs outta filament, and doesn't plan to get more until some quota is reached. Which isn't "made to order", made to demand maybe?

The creator's writing suggest a not-quite-good grasp of English too.

filament is the cheapest part of printing

upkeep and qc is the real wallet killer

What about powder printing/SLS? I know that there's DIY kits, but I generally assume those come from some third party (which would explain why they are sold out on some). There's no way these would be done by extruders.

Can you guys post more pictures on nonflat syrfaces? These pics don't show much articulation.

I daresay it's the Unicorn that has the most meaningful articulation; the Boxer has some for what it is, while the Badger feels awkward to pose at times.

Nice pics, thanks

Upkeep isn't expensive unless you fucked up like a retard. It should just be regreasing the linear motion system every few months. Good filament can be expensive. Polymax PLA is great but at .8kg or something for $40-50 is a lot if you're printing stuff to sell.
