3D Printed Pokemon`s

Thanks for checking out my first ever instructable, created for the 3D Printing Contest. I'm going to show you the process used to create a low poly-count 3D printed pokemon`s that you can download and 3D-print !

For me, one of the coolest things about 3D printing is the feasibility of becoming a creator instead of just a consumer. With a product that's generated from a computer, customizing, tweaking, and tinkering with the parent file can create so many cool results, please vote for it for the 3D Printing contest! :) click here to go to the contest page What This Instructable Covers: links to download the stl file for the print pictured.

1. 3D printer with filament ( in my case i have used ABS filament)

2. A 3D model to print

3. Spray paints ( depending on which colours u want your pokemon to be )

4. paint brush, and oil paints ( to provide the pokemon model features such as eyes, mouth, etc...... )

5. sandpaper ( to smooth the layer of the 3d printed model )

For Chikorita u will have to 3d print its body and the leaf on top of its head separately and then use acetone to stick both ( body and the leaf of Chikorita ) to together

Note : Dont use too much of acetone since acetone melts the polymer and would give undesirable patches and might ruin your 3d printed model for perfection use a cotton swab to spread little of amount of acetone.

With the use of a sandpaper, sand your 3d printed model to get a smooth texture of your 3d model, by doing so when u spray paint or else paint with oil paints the paint would spread evenly and model will look good too.

Use your desired spray paint colours on paint your pokemon`s model , then use oil paints to draw other features onto the pokemon like eyes, mouths or else other features that might be present on pokemon or else u might want to add.

Here are few 3d printed pokemon`s model that i have printed, and painted. Hope u like the instructable, do vote for my instructable at 3d printing contest.

I`d like to thank FLOWALISTIK (link) at Thingiverse.com(link) for providing such a marvelous 3d Printed files , go checkout his page at thingiverse.com he has uploaded more files for many other pokemon`s too.

i`d also like to thank Makersasylum(link), a MakersSpace where i work and have 3D printed the above models
