Does anybody have any experience attempting 3d print your own wrestling figure heads?

I had mixed results. Mattel sized are too small and you lose a lot of detail. I resized it to be about 2 inches and got better results. I ordered one from a online print shop mattel sized and had much better results. It really depends on your printer what settings you use. |

Yea the lines are something that is really tough to deal with. My brother printed a Han Solo head with it and it came out looking pretty good, but like you said it was a tiny bit bigger than a mattel head so it is hard to say what it would have looked like. Which website did you order the final head online at? |

If you sent a scan of Owen Hart, would it be possible to get one made?
Just wondering

I believe Warsman tried this a few years ago. I dont know if he ever got his Owen made or not though. Honestly the best route to go about it is to have a head done in something like a 1:12 scale and then send it to someone who resizes heads down to Mattel/Jakks size.

The only scan of Owen I know off will be from ATTITUDE And Warzone games.
But you are right figure scans didn't happen while Owen was with us.

While that wouldn't be a scan it would be a higher res model than the attitude games. |

Always glad to see 3D printing and action figures mixed together  Just to toss it out there: In general, older video games use low-resolution models, which aren't good for 3D printing because they don't have any detail. For example, if you tried to 3D print a low-resolution model of a ball, you end up with a highly faceted roughly spherical shape, nothing like the smooth ball you wanted. And then you have to factor in what resolution your printer is capable of... How much is a 3D printer? Like...a million dollars lol. I think decent ones (printers that don't leave a bunch of lines in the model) start at around $5,000 or something. |
