One of the few games that sucked me in like Dark Souls was Horizon Zero Dawn. I remember when it first came out I thought "Robotic Dinosaurs" sounded so dumb. Sure it looked cool, but running around shooting them with a bow and arrow just sounds lame.
I finally broke down and got the game, the hype was like nothing I've ever seen for a game. Holy shit the game was good. After 30-40% into the game, it actually starts to make sense and it isn't as ridiculous as I thought. Not much longer and I'm fascinated by the story.
So I found out yesterday, someone released 7 3D printable models from the game. They are very difficult prints but look epic. I'm not ready to print them yet, but will definitely be printing a Watcher soon.
Currently, there are only 7 of the many robots from the game, but some of the iconic ones are there.
Sawtooth (~ 30 hours print time)
Behemoth (~30 hours print time)
Corruptor (~25 hours print time)
Death Bringer (~70 hours print time)
Tallneck (~50 hours print time)
Thunderjaw (~40 hours print time)
Watcher (~10 hours print time)
Abso-freaking-amazing. I'll be certainly showing mine off when I get around to printing one. Unfortunately, I have a backlog of prints right now and only one working printer. I think I am going to order the new Prusa before I go about building my own beast.

Wow, this is epic! Technology is crazy.
I've read a lot of article on online about 3d printing, years ago they already use 3d printing in the medical world.
So you have your own 3d printing machine? How much you buy yours?
$400 for my current one, the one I am ordering is $999 but it isn't in stock until Feb. My old one is $200 and I am building my own from scratch for $500-1000.
Wow that is such a good price. Building your own is the ultimate though - could you do a post here on how that comes together? Would be awesome for the community to see your building skills. ❤️
It's crazy that you can print such detailed and complicated structures with a 3D printer. It's just a matter off time till we start buying 3D models instead of going to the store and we print them at home. I know some already do but I think the number will increase very fast now that technology has improved and the machines are not so expensive anymore !
You would be surprised how cheap 3D Printing is.
You can get a decent 3D Printer below $200. I recommend to spend more, but you can get some amazing prints out of a sub $200 printer.
The monthly cost of the material is far less than 2D printing! 2.2lbs of filament costs me $13-30 for a spool, and I can print around the clock for a month and have trouble using more than 1-2 spools.
My father spends hundreds of dollars/month on Inkjet Ink.
Wow that is a lot cheaper than I could have imagined ! I love design so I will have to get me one of these. My dad is buying one soon but I forgot the name of the brand. I also hope to learn to do casting equipment with 3D so I could smelt silver or something else and make jewelry or other decorations
If you're thinking about getting into 3D printing and you haven't spent a lot of time working with building kit electronics, there are some out-of-the-box solutions which as Mark says, cost in the $200 range and which provide some incredible prints.
One of the best out-of-the-box experiences that you can probably get is with the Monoprice Select Mini V2, which if you keep an eye out you can find for under $200 brand-new and can literally be printing within 20 minutes of plopping it onto your table.
My personal choice was to get in early on the Kickstarter of the Monoprice Mini Delta which is also a fantastic printer in the "about $200" range but is still early in the production run and only a few have been up for sale publicly yet. If you're not looking to buy immediately and can afford to wait and look around a bit, that's certainly one that you could put on your "keep an eye on" list and get back around to.
It's absolutely true that a kilo of PLA is both cheap and lasts forever. I have a few roles that I picked up early on that I just can't seem to make any headway into. I print, and I print, and I print – but I still have a huge amount of material left. It might be maddening if it wasn't hilarious and wonderful. I feel like my investment in that stuff was not wasted.
If you're thinking about printing with other materials, you have to start thinking about whether you're storing it in a sufficiently dry environment. In particular, ABS loves to soak up water and when it soaks up water – it is terrible to print with. A number of other filaments have similar sort of caretaking issues, so that's something to watch, but PLA is the cheapest, easiest thing to print with and will serve 99% of the purposes that you have which don't involve things needing to be in hot environments.
You can also do lost material casting with 3D prints, as long as you're careful that the vented burning plastic doesn't go in your face or anywhere near your lungs. Given that you probably wouldn't want anything else that you were burning out of a mold to be inhaled, you're probably in good shape.
If you want to do some jewelry design and actually get it printed in metal, you can do that through a number of services including Shapeways and 3D Hubs. Worth looking into if that's the sort of thing you want to end up with because their industrial 3D printers are pretty impressive, and at the scale of most jewelry designs having a service printed for you isn't terribly painful.
Good luck, and I hope you find the things along the way that you're looking for!

I am nothing if not an endless font of weird and sometimes useless information. Thank you.
a tree does not make a forest, while a single person cannot make a crowd.it true that a simple thank you can change many things, it can even inspire the author to do more to promote steem.
great post! transformers will be start soon hahaha
Wow.. Sangat bagus posting anda. Luarbiasa mantap.. Ingin segara bergabung untuk bisa bermain.. Senang melihatnya.. Sukses selalu untuk anda.
wow....
wonderfull...
really very good photography
Death bringer is my favorite from the above. What's keeping you from being able to print these?
My printer is currently printing a 10 hour print, and I have a ton more prints I have to do :)
great one
Abso-freaking-amazing INDEED! Is the time to print is based on having to start/stop to change filament colors during the print? Or are the parts assembled?
Combined print time of each part required. There is additional time to setup/clean the prints, but not too much as long as there are no problems.

Wow, those models look amazing. Fantastic game as well, absolutely took my breath away. Can't wait to start the DLC.
I haven't bought the DLC yet, I kind of hesitant about DLC's as they generally not much more than a few side missions they pulled out of the main game. I do love this game though.
Yeah, I hear you. I heard that the Frozen Wilds adds about 16 - 20 hours of gameplay, and impressions are really good. Curious to see the new machines as well.
Love these! Haven't been all that bothered about 3D printing till recently, they really are becoming amazing.
no recibi upvote de parte de @builawhale lo que recibi fue tres banderas y eliminaron mi post ademas de lo invertido en ese post no me parece justo que tenga que perder 20SBD necesito que me ayuden en mi caso si transferi 20sbd que debo hacer si era lo unico que tenia
I was at 75%-want-to-play-this-game before I read this. Now I'm at 90%. I just want to know; will I be able to still work if I buy this game? Or is it like a blackhole?
It's a long freaking game (150 hours I think?) and you won't want to put it down. I did manage to take a shower and poop at least once, so you should be ok.
Damn.. I'm not ready for that.
I was deep into Dark Souls. Most amazing gaming experience I've had, except maybe the original dragon quest when I was a kid. This game looked like a try hard mess to me at first, but everyone says the gameplay is great.
It's really hard, but once you learn how to fight rather than brute force it, it becomes more of a dance.
Now I want a Watcher too !!!!!
IT just looks so cute XD
Big Brother Doggy !
