Just another nerd who codes by day, and 3D Prints by night! Here to show off the creations. Some of the designs are mine, and some are not!

Haven’t been posting lately, why? Got a new toy. CNC Machine… I love how every machine has its quirks, and differences. CNC Milling is different than SLA Printing, which is different than FDM Printing. Learning curves everywhere! But it’s so much fun.

This is a big eye, that'll be going into a really big head! Still needs clear resin and line cleanup

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

Unpopular opinion: Prusa XL core XY printer is an amazing, but priced so high when other large format printers can be had for half the cost. In the end it's about the print, and other printers can do this for less... I still want one 😂 #3Dprinting https://t.co/zcqPzRzDiE

Massive oversized eye trial for one of the life-size busts... This guy's got some big ol eyes. Nothing can get past him can it? Can you guess who it is for?

@DrThomasDickson I couldn't be prouder!!! Also enjoy vacation!

Sand, Bondo, Rinse, Repeat. Keep doing this until those layer lines and seams disappear. Just don't do it so much that details disappear!

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

While I work on hiding seams, smoothing out imperfections, I just keep thinking to myself, "it's a trap!"

Trying to decide between finishing life-size Admiral Akbar, Infinity Gauntlet, or life-size Palpatine... And what to print next

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

Echo has seen quite a few battles in his time. This project is complete. On to the next one. #StarWars #3Dprinting #badbatch

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

Getting those base colors right for the #StarWars #3dprinted Echo from The #badbatch Almost time to start weathering and 3D printing the greebles for finishing touches.

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

Test fitting his Echo. He loves it.

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

On to the next #3dprinted project! Echo from the bad batch! This one has been scaled down to fit my sons head. He may get a full set of armor. #badbatch #StarWars

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

It's finished! #StarWars #CloneWars #3DPrinting #3DPrinted Clone Trooper V2 weathered helmet. This guy has seen some things. It still amazes me what you can 3D Print!

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

Adding weathering, dirt, and scorch effects to #StarWars Clone Trooper V2 #3dprinted helmet #3Dprinting

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

#StarWars Clone Trooper V2 #3Dprinting just starting the painting and weathering process. Remember props don't have to look perfect.

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

One of the great things about #3Dprinting and prop making is that imperfection and mess ups make the prop look even more real! Don't worry, and don't ever try to make it look perfect!

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

It's a trap!!!

Elder Wand from #harrypotter that was #3dprinted and gifted to my older brother

[MantaCreations @MantaCreations]

There's always something new in the shop being worked on... Who wouldn't want to snap their fingers and maybe not deal with their kids for awhile... I mean you can always snap them back? #3Dprinting #workinprogress
