FINALLY! Fabric cape and paint (hopefully a smaller wait time lol)

😂 doubtful

For the cape: try making a form with chicken wire, then draping fabric over it. Spray the fabric with some sort of hardener (pva glue?) and when it dries it should theoretically be a lightweight piece of material shaped how you need.

That sounds wonderful! Makes you wonder tho if you should just use a light wiremesh painted close to cape color and just have it under cape and just shaped to desire?

I do love the idea of solving a problem more easily and it gives you actual fabric that has its own realistic look. But when even the base has its own 3D printed part to cover that stand. I think it would be a shame not to go 3D print for the whole thing including the cape. I have a Loki model I printed with a massive cape and how they solved the print being too thin was to just taper the edges so from a casual view it looks thin but its actually quite thick over most of the cape making it very strong. A whole other thing asking if that remains true at life size. I'm not smart enough with zero experience printing that large to say.

@@UncleJessy they have something like fabric starch should be able to help too

Definitely paint. Wire armature for dynamic cape movement. Maybe some purple n pink LED backlighting behind statue. LOVE IT!

Madness! Jesus, that statue doesn't even fit in my house! Its glorious to see the model that big, man! You can see every little detail

This project is ridiculous and I love you for it. Also, I appreciate your choice in having the support pole go into his torso as opposed to...other places.

Thanksn

Finish it, a project that big warrants it.

Paint for sure. Grab some metal meshing from home Depot, the type that is used for chicken pens or thinner for cement pours. Bend it the way the cape would look then sew material (or glue) over the wire mesh. Also, maybe some mortise and tenons joins with a wedge would be very strong and easy to remove. (Hide the wedge behind and conceal it)

That umbrella stand was a stroke of genius!

It looks awesome

Awesome!!! Finish it please, and for the cape use fabric with metal wires to give a desired shape.

That is amazing!! And you gotta paint that bad boy!

I think paint and armature wire would make it look even more badass than it already is

I think you should reprint some of the parts that have lots of pieces to save yourself time on filling in all those gaps and sanding now that you have that large printer. Definitely paint it. Cant wait to see this thing finished. Whos next?

Yeah I’m going to print some shims to jam into some spots 😂

Def finish it! It will look fantastic!

Amazing job!!! My amateur suggestion is to finish it and when designing cape, try to balance its weight’s center of gravity so that you don’t have to modify this beautiful stand. Maybe when printing large statues, it should help, if you print lower parts with full infill to make them heavier. Does that make any sense?

I don´t know how will translate to that masive scale, but what i do with capes in my 3d prints (1/6 and 1/4 scale) is use a thin EVA foam sheet, cut it in the shape of the cape and heat it with a heat gun, while still hot, i pose the cape in a dynamic shape i want. When the EVA sheet colds, the cape remains it the form is made. Then you can paint it and seal it if you want.

For the sign, mount it on the wall behind his left shoulder with some beams pm the back to give the illusion that Magneto is ripping it off the wall. Also definitely paint it.

Oh man, I have been waiting for this video. I almost lost hope that magneto was abandon. Glad you worked it out. 🎉

Finish it!! Looks awesome!!

So awesome to see the pieces come together, its looking fantastic.

yeaaah finish it pain it cape it will be epic

I think you should get some fabric then glue some wire in a flowing position then cover it in resin then paint it.

Thats SO cool! I'd love to paint that!!

Definitely paint it. Pls!

Love the Ted Lasso ref.😂

Clay this is the craziest thing I've seen in a long time. KEEP GOING! And definitely print it!

Paint it, even better for the environment!

Absolutely wicked definitely needs painting it's going to look epic

Reprint just the leg and base. Magneto Christmas Story Leg Lamp!!! 😂 But please do a wired fabric cape and paint it! So awesome !!!

Magneto Leg Lamp sounds too good

Definitely paint it, something like that has to look like it belongs in a museum.

Well done uncle Jessy , leave as is its a testament to your commitment to art of 3d printing !!

A Simple metallic paint job would be great, and a Fabric cape, using wood glue or some sort of PVA to make it keep that fluid motion would look great.

Paint it, Paint it!

Ya, you gotta paint it. Your a mad man by the way. That's amazing.

This could be a very cool business branch. Painting it and send it and other of your beautiful prints to advertising acencies. Malls, Cinemas, big stores... sky is the limit.

Definitely needs to be properly finished and painted.

Wow, this is EPIC. I'm glad you figured it all out. It looks really good with all the different colors, but I think eventually you do need to paint it.

Looking great!

For the cape, get a hold of what's called "horsehair" Its a fabric sculpting material that is used to shape fabric. Some examples of use are those geometric shapes you see in medieval collars and shaped skirt hems. Holds really well and is VERY light

I'd definitely paint it - ta amazing

Awesome In the future try to paint everything before starting assembly. Great video again

Awesome Man! Print some smaller rocks to put in front of the sign to help tie it into the backdrop.

7’5” of awesomeness ❤️! Well done

Amazing work. Alot of hours for sure. You started it and now you have to finish it. You have to paint it.

The Magneto Returns! This is awesome and has been a great project to follow over the year or so. That just screams Uncle Jessy's Workshop in the entrance way. Looking forward to the continuation as it takes shape.

I really want to see this printed. I Know is going to be huge hustle but is going to look awesome

You need to paint it. It would look amazing!

Of course painted. Magneto is not a clown

What a monster of a print!! Nice work dude, If you are going to paint it (even just grey) I strongly suggest you have a play with "duratec grey surface primer", It can be brushed on, rolled on, or sprayed if its thinned down, BUT, the main reason I suggest you use it is because it is AMAZING for sanding, super consistent, easy to sand, and can even be pollished once you have finished sanding. I use it for boats, car parts, props, armor, even weapon masters. Lastly you can add filling powder to it, you could probably use baby powder, but typically you would buy "Q-cell" or and sanding/fairing filler powder. This would allow you to do some really nice thick coats in areas like joins, cracks, or even just really nasty print layers. The stuff smells pretty strongly of fibreglass, this is its only draw back, but once its cured I promise you, you wont want to use anything else ;)

@UncleJessy

Heck yeah will look into that thanks man!

Paint, use auto body filler for your gaps, glazing and spot putty is easily sandable. i do auto paint as a hobby, and applied techniques to 3d prints and quality comes out amazing.

Definitely finish it and paint it

Looks so cool, great job! I wish I had a 3D printer XD.

I do think it would be a crime if you didn't paint it. Not a color accurate paint job because I think at this scale it would bad unless you were doing high end air brushing. But a basic primer that'll smooth it all out nicely and then a single color paint job. You wouldn't even need to do a dark wash to make the details pop as remember the wash is recreating shadows that would appear at 1:1 scale. And as this is 1:1 scale it creates its own real physically accurate shadows. So you just need to do the basic one color stone grey and boom, that's a finished stone looking statue that would wow anyone. I have to say that's an amazing achievement. Its a bit of a wake up call to us all dreaming of larger prints just how difficult it is once you start getting beyond 1/6th scale which is so nice and easy to do on any machine. Quarter scale I think is really hard and expensive. So half or crazy, 1:1! that's just madness and I tip my hat to anyone that takes that on.

I would like to see it finished. Looks so f cool.

DEFINITELY finish this

Most definitely a fabric cape with some sort of wire support and definitely paint it! Also the Xavier sign that shifted, you should just cut the shifted part off. Because it's supposed to appear damaged anyways right.

That is insane! I would recommend wrapping the pole in cotton, maybe with bits of silver in a spiral around it and around him like he's got metal bits to use as ammo and as a shield. If you added LEDS to it it would look cool too. (though it might look like a big fart lol) He could have bits of metal shooting off along the extended hand too! The cotton could cover some of the jenky bits on the base that you aren't happy with. You could add LEDS under his boots to give him a glow effect there as well. I'd definitely finish it. And the chicken wire cape sounds good. Be careful with the magnets, you would do well to either embed them into the parts as you print them or use a lot of epoxy and supports around them. (they can deform the plastic) I can't wait to see the next step!

if you like magneto, you would love xmen 97. idk if you have been watching or not but they are doing him justice

Can’t wait for next week! Bring on Onslaught!

The way it is now completely highlights the immense amount of work that you put into this. mount a few photos of contstruction next to the fully painted, and potentially....lit up version of Magneto? Well, that would just break KZread with the views. Great work.

Definitely finish this. Paint, weathering, the whole shebang. Maybe even get more ambitious and add some RGB lighting.

Amazing work! It looks great with all the different colors, but it would be dope to have a huge detail painted Magneto. With a real cape?

Finish it, you've come this far. cape would be fairly easy with thin gauge hex chicken wire from tractor supply, sandwhich it between two sheets of thick fabric, either super77 the edges or actually sew it. bend to a dynamic shape. My printer is way to small to even attempt a project of this size, id have to chunk mine like x5 smaller and that sounds like a nightmare.

Oh Lord PLEASE paint that thing!!! It deserves a nice paint job. in METALLICS!!

How many kilos is the final weight?

You have to finish and paint. Would be criminal not too!

Angry Ben franklin? Angry Magneto? Looks more like Vigo the Carpathian! :D

Strong magnets are kind of hard to work with. So I would probably go with ball or spring plungers with friction providing most of the staying force.

This is amazing

I think you need to print another one. Think of this print as Mark1. It would be like how Tony Stark has his Mark1 in his workshop.

For the cape, fabric and maybe wire around the edge to be able to pose it. Kind of like how the living statues pose their clothing when they are street performing.

Use the Xavier School sign to hide a blower that hits from a slight angle underneath the cloack so when you want to really present it crazy you activate it and hes cape will "blow in the wind" giving it more dynamic

Wow huge! Amazing work. Unfortunately it doesn't really look floating. Wouldn't it be possible to hang it from the ceiling? Maybe the fixture could be hidden using the cape?

I was just thinking about this earlier this week because I wanted to see how it turned out. Been wanting to make a life sized dwarf fighter for my studio.

it looks awesome, I wonder if you put some emery cloth into the connections it would let you do friction fits.

Could look really nice to leave it just primed. Almost like a clay sculpture
