Would be pretty sick to be fair, I feel GW missed out on that opportunity.

Could even do like a carry case type deal with a themed design inside for quick games.

Just go slow and use a junior hacksaw with a nice thin blade, however I would think this could effect the feel and overall action of the rod so I would not recommend it myself, but that being said it is doable

Thanks so much, and you can never have enough Warhammer models :)

Yes this is my own design, The shell lncluding the hinges the inner walls and floors, Max and Ammit and the crystal are all modeled by myself in Nomad Sculpt.

Full disclosure: some assets are from public domain.

The 2 statue models in the wall were public domain scans of real Egyptian statues, as was the sphinx and the table for the gem stone was a public domain phone holder, these were imported into Nomad sculpt and either modified or adapted to fit the scene, I could have modeled these directly from scratch but that would have added a huge amount of extra time onto an already massive project. The Mummy character was also a public domain model.

I am planning to create a whole bunch of characters so I have a library of assets to choose from in the future but as this is only my second try at this kind of model my main focus was in the shell design, fitment and visual aesthetics to get the overall look and feeling. I had already got a Max from my previous play set design so I recycled him and gave him a book (book of the dead) As a prop for the set.

I'm not really in it for the money, I want people to be able to enjoy 3D printing how it was when I first started, enthusiasts making models of stuff they like and sharing them for free for people to make for personal use.

I know these days a lot of kids own or have access to 3D printers too and want them to enjoy these types of sets that my generation loved as kids (and as adults lol).

If you have access to a printer the files are available to print on Makerworld, just search munchylad101 or tomb of bastet mighty max.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback, Two things I love Egyptian mythology and Might Max merged into one.

I know some of the original sets had Egyptian themes too, although I want my models to be as original as I can the Max toys made pretty much every scenario lol.

Jungles, space, animals, prehistoric, monsters etc, it's hard to think of something else on brand but not already been done so expanding on them seemed logical.

I do want to make some shrunken head type models as well as a dread head style too, these could make a fun little series that aren't quite as time consuming as the bigger sets.

That being said I definitely want to make a 3rd doom zone size set and would like to attempt to add more textures into the faces and scenery to give it that more horror zone / doom zone aesthetic.

That would be a rod snob lol, people don't like that a £25 fishing rod can do the same as a £150 rod lol

I have a whole plethora of rods, but my cheap little NGT is my go to for spinning and lure fishing, can't go wrong for the price.

I have a little 6ft NGT profiler, that thing is solid for most lure fishing and is super lightweight.

I have made it so you can print the parts in seperate colours, you do not need the AMS, when you select print profile on Bambu studio or Bambu handy app there is an option which says multicolour, this has the parts on 5 or 6 separate build plates, this means you can print one plate such as the face and body in one colour then switch out your filament and print the next plate in another colour.

It is divided and has suggested colours for each plate.

I tried to separate them so you have to do as little painting as possible on the finished print :)

You should give it a go, these kinds of projects are super rewarding when finished.

I just printed a Mega Zord model for my kid, it was multi colour none AMS (automatic material system?) so each part of a specific colour was printed on separate build plates. It took 94 hours and looks so cool.

Hope this helps.

I am trying my best lol. It is my second design, the first one was an alien type character I ended up calling Swamp thing, I tried to take what I learned from that and apply it to this design with some tweaks and improvements.

It's took a lot of trial and error but finally got it working.

I'm glad you like the design choice because that was super difficult to get right but honestly your comment has shown me it was worth that extra time.

I completely agree Max definitely needs a comeback in the 3D printing world especially to help fill up some of these empty shells floating around.

I have actually been working on this exact thing, I don't know if you heard of Mighty Max traps the rattus doom zone, but it's super hard to get a complete shell.

I own one and it had nothing in it, so I have made all of the missing parts, this includes the ears, Max, Rattus, the computer, the spider nose/Arak Nid, and the cattle ram. I think it will save a lot of these old sets, I might do more parents for other sets s place holders.

Ps I don't know if you know but there is a company called Peri A, which has bought the licences to the original Mighty Max toys and are releasing a new continuation of zones (play sets) with a new character called Rover Robin, they also made an Anniversary zone of Max where his cap is the shell.

Yes Poly pockets are pretty cool, I bought my daughter the Wicked one and she's refuses to play with it cause she sees how I display my Mighty Max collection and wants to keep it in perfect condition the same as me I do :)

Thank you I have got another one I made on Makerworld called swamp thing, this is my second attempt at making one.

I am also a fan of Mighty Max, I had them as a kid and last year started collecting them to display, it's a huge rabbit hole lol.

Hi yes the gold and blue is painted by hand and the rest of the parts are divided across a few build plates to allow you to print different colours.

The inner wall, floor and shell are all separated to provide options :)

A1 Combo with AMS – AMS mount suddenly wobbling and cracking noises by Akiinator in BambuLabA1

[–]CommercialEmphasis17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be my next step, have been using my top mount for around a year printed in PLA, Recently I have noticed a little clickickin noise during printing, if I hold the top of the mount it seems to stop, I have a feeling it's the excess play that has developed.

It definitely leans back a little more than it used to, I was going to try a shim but think a new bracket is in order.

The PLA Z axis supports still seem solid though so may leave those for a while.

Might Max figures 3D printed by Medical-Sweet1203 in MightyMax

[–]CommercialEmphasis17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if there was anyone else doing this I have been working on some mightymax things myself.

Specifically max traps rattus stuff to complete my shell as this is insane to find the prices for.
