Gifthammer 3D-Print Collection

Recommended Posts

After investing in a 3d printer late last year, I've slipped really deep into testing the resolution and strength limits of it be recreating LEGO parts. I've been sharing a lot of photos on Discord, but it's about time that I posted here too.

Most of my designs so far have been uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/gifthammer/designs. Everything is free to download and use with non-commercial caveats (because I don't want to deal with LEGO-adjacent IP headaches). Here are some of the highlights:

MNOG-inspired Bohrok canisters. They actually lock together into a hive wall!

A brand new posable Kraata. A difficult print, but it's true to size! I am still trying to clean up the proportions but it's my favorite so far.

I never had the Toa Metru to make the matoran pods, so I decided to make a movie inspired version of them. Ended up with a lot less articulation than I wanted, but hey it's LEGO-compatible now!

Finally, a Creator X-Bots inspired travel container and a desk-sized recreation of the iconic sand pit where we all first heard the Legend of the Bionicle.

(The Nui stones are someone else's wonderful design, not mine. I just loved how well they combine with sand garden)

Again, more are on my Thingiverse page, and more will come as I get inspiration. My goal isn't to make exact recreations of bricks, but rather versions of them that are designed around the limitations of printed rather than injection molding. Expect a few more bohrok-related designs too before long!
