The Dark Knight Bust (STL)

✔ For more sculpts like this, and if you are able to support my artwork, take a look at my Patreon :)

In a way I've come full circle with this one. My first published 3D printable model was a much younger, and stoic Batman. So here's a (much like myself) older, and possibly constipated, Batman who's been through some crap. I tried to make him a bit animal-like, with a snarl and stance like he's ready to pounce.

A shout-out to the people at Prime 1 Studio whose 1/3 scale statue gave me the idea.

(And a special shout-out to my friend Wekster whose input regarding the pegs/keys on my Conan model made me refine the one on this model, making it truly support-less; and also my friend Fotis who is always a positive driving force!)

This is fan art, provided for free, and I fully acknowledge the Batman likeness is the property of DC Entertainment (Warner Bros.)

Print instructions

This one doesn't require supports to print, just make sure you have a part cooling fan and you should be okay. The main part and base are printed separately, so if you have two printers you can do some parallel printing to get him done quicker.

I printed mine on an Original Prusa i3 MK3S, at 0.1mm layers and with a 0.4mm nozzle, and it took roughly 24 hours for the main part, and 12 hours for the base.
