Japanese have given the world countless incredible cartoon, film, and anime characters. They are known for their passion for adventure, action, and creatures that threaten the entire humankind with wiping it off the surface of the Earth. How many times have humans faced peril that was way beyond their powers to deal with at the hands of Japanese artists? Don\u2019t bother counting.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we\u2019re here because there\u2019s a cool reason. Godzilla, one of the most recognized monsters in popular culture, just got a 3D printed replica that stands no less than 38 cm tall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who is Godzilla?<\/h4>\n

Godzilla<\/strong> is a monster movie. It depicts dinosaur-type monster, Godzilla, up to 50 meters tall awakened by nuclear radiation. Godzilla became a monster prototype of similar movies, animations and comics in Japan, and has a profound influence on the image of monsters in Japanese anime works.<\/p>\n

Along the years, Godzilla image has undergone changes and upgrades.<\/p>\n

The replica miniature you will find at Gambody\u00a0Premium 3D Printing Marketplace<\/a><\/em> is the one representing the monster as was depicted by artists 50 years ago.<\/p>\n

By the way, do you know that Godzilla has a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame? It was awarded in 2004 to celebrate the character\u2019s 50th-anniversary movie premiere \u201cGodzilla: Final Wars\u201d.<\/p>\n

Why choose a Godzilla 3D printing Figurine?<\/h4>\n

As you probably know, 3D printing is the technology that builds 3D objects by successively adding material layer by layer. It\u2019s the easiest and fastest way to recreate objects that one cannot find in regular shops. It also involves artistry and customization. There are different 3D printers, from amateur to professional ones used in medicine, and even construction.<\/p>\n

While you can find a Godzilla toy in the stores, 3D printing gives you the freedom to customize it according to your preferences.<\/p>\n

Big, small, roaring, in attack pose or with its legs crossed \u2013 it is all up to you how you decide to design it. \u2018But I don\u2019t have 3D modelling skills<\/em>\u2019, you will say. No worries. There are numerous online 3D printing files repositories where you can buy, download and 3D print the files either using a 3D printing service or on your home 3D printer.<\/p>\n

One such 3D printing file repository is Gambody, a premium 3D printing marketplace focusing on entertainment 3D printing content. You can find 3D printing files for your favourite video game, anime, movie, and comic books characters. There is a wide variety of 3D printing bust and even dioramas. And of course, you can find Godzilla 3D printing files here too. In fact, Gambody has 7 different Godzilla 3D printing figurines and you can find them all here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, today we will focus on Heisei Godzilla<\/a><\/strong>\u00a03D printing figurine which has been 3D printed by Ying-Chia Su.<\/p>\n

The main 3D printing equipment and materials used are Infinity X1, Anycubic i3 Mega, oil paint, acrylic paint, etc., plus PLA printing material.<\/p>\n

He printed Godzilla at a layer thickness of 0.12mm, infill of 15%, printing speed of 30, and the total time took about 400 hours.<\/p>\n

Ying-Chia Su chose to 3D print the FDM version of Godzilla STL files. This version is split into 11 separate parts to ensure an easier printing experience and to avoid supports.<\/p>\n

Gambody has an SLS version of the same Godzilla figurine for 3D printing that comes into a single file, it stands about 19 cm tall, and thus involves low printing costs.<\/p>\n
