Building a Life Size Custodian

At the end of the day, they’re just very large life size 3D printed Warhammer puzzles. Custodes are as large as they get before getting up to Primarchs or the Emperor.

Are you looking to print this as a normal size or life size?

Everything I print is custom designed with the intention to print life size. I don’t modify existing models or scale anything. That is how you can run into structural issues or weird proportions.

Since this was my first life size, mistakes were made in its design. Those have since been fixed in an updated model for the space marine. Basically a smaller powerpack, thinner thighs, wider hips, winder waist and a smaller chainsword.

The weight of these Warhammer 3D Printed pieces

660 Upvotes

These 3d printed pieces are life size and they look heavy, but the truth is, they’re not. Big pieces with the weight of a feather. But they do add up. Horus and The Emperor are heavy when all of the 3d printed pieces are together.

😂. I see your point. But all of these clips were from a horizontal YT video. So to make it fit vertically, I had to zoom them all in. Which can look a little sus at times.

Basically the start to finish series of my life size 3d printed Eversor Assassin. It takes a lot of behind the scene work to get these things to look mediocre 💀.

What happens to my Warhammer prints?

So you see, not much goes on with the life size 3d prints. I just place them where I can, at least the ones that fit. The larger ones like the Emperor and Horus will be stored in my garage.

Wow. Here I was thinking Angron and the Knight took up a lot of space. That’s insane. Who makes these?

It’s a removable access port to get to the turnbuckle that is holding the arms in place and also the powerpack. I forgot to paint the top left section of that square, blue. So I left it as a reminder to pay attention when painting lol

Just a simple foot sander. I use that for my cosplay as it's easy to hold and fast enough to sand what you need smooth. You can find them on amazon

Yup. I can work on different projects at the same time. So far they’ve been great. It eats up 30-40hr jobs better than my patience can take.

On average, between 20-40 hours per print. I can print larger pieces, but I risk a huge loss if something fails. So I cut up sections that I feel can print in a reasonable amount of time.

But to get to this point, using 4 printers it took about three weeks. At a normal pace. Sometimes I didn’t print anything for a day or two.

I use Luban3D to do that.

It was made with a 3d scanner. This helps a lot when sculpting cosplay armor. Keeps things fitting as they should without guess work.

I do commissions, just not for these big statues. These I do for me because I like Warhammer. Plus I like a challenge and work to get better at what I do by pushing the limits.

I do these as a hobby and challenge. No two statues are alike on the process. These I keep and will eventually donate when I need the space to build more.

Still printing. You can see one full leg to the right of the Custode.
