1/12 Scale Bounce Tortoise Acetone Test
"I'm impressed, it looks just like a built-up model kit! Wouldn't know it for a print unless I was told."
Bryan K Borgman replied to Ben Mininberg's discussion Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D Printed Mecha"Yeah, that is amazing and could be the answer to my #D print production whoa. Please share! :)"
Dead Presidents replied to Ben Mininberg's discussion Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D Printed Mecha"That smooth version with acetone looks slick. Care to share your process on that. 3D printed parts suck to sand smooth if your doing anything that's going to be glossy."
Ben Mininberg replied to Ben Mininberg's discussion Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D Printed Mecha"Hey guys,
I just got back from FOE today after the Robot show went down and Paul Kaiju had a killer opening. Just wanted to give you guys a quick update on Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries!
First off, there is one figure left available at…"

1/12 Scale Bounce Tortoise Acetone Test
This guy is the result of my testing out a new finishing technique for ABS printed parts using acetone instead of sanding. I think it worked.
Dead Presidents replied to Ben Mininberg's discussion Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D Printed Mecha"Those all look killer! Keep us posted when FOE launches the web store for this show."
Bryan K Borgman replied to Ben Mininberg's discussion Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D Printed Mecha"Wow Ben, these are simply amazing!!!"

PRHI 1/12 Scale PBT-002 Bounce Tortoise
Head on over to the forum for more details on the debut of Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D printed mecha action figures. The 1/12 scale Bounce Tortoise is the biggest and most complex figure in the line so far, and will be available at FOE…
Ben Mininberg replied to Ben Mininberg's discussion Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D Printed Mecha"Thanks guys! There's a post up on my site about the process, but I'm sure I will get around to doing more behind the scenes write-ups as I try new things. For now, you can read all about the making of a figure here.

Seth Longmire replied to Ben Mininberg's discussion Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D Printed Mecha"Saw this from John Bear Ross, he's a veteran 3D designer and printer, (the background is, the Battletech folks put up kickstarter for new miniatures, and they're really expensive), he'd be a great resource with this stuff, and talks…"
Seth Longmire replied to Ben Mininberg's discussion Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D Printed Mecha"It really is fantastic work Ben!"
Dead Presidents replied to Ben Mininberg's discussion Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D Printed Mecha"Ben! Now I know why you haven't posted in awhile. In house 3d printer, awesome! I really like the styles you've made. Would love to get you to post more about your processes when you get a minute."

Hey all,Those of you that know me know that 80's real robot mecha are my first love. I have always wanted to make my own mecha toys that would fit right alongside those old designs, but I am terrible at sculpting! To solve that problem I have been teaching myself 3D modeling since the summer time. I started off getting prints of my ideas from Shapeways, but quickly realized that if I wanted to be able to do things larger and in a timely fashion, I would need my own 3D printed. I ended up…See More
