peaugh selling prints can be kinda complicated precisely due to the inherent fragility involved, I've been selling them for a while, but I always sell single piece prints, I still haven't quite gotten the hang of how to make tolerances be good enough, however, something I always make clear for the customers is that frailty, that they must be careful with the product. I mostly sell PLA prints, but I do offer the option of ABS should they require something a bit more durable, but ABS is harder to print :/

@Kunoros Hound of Athreos When there's already 3-5 companies making the exact same figures in the same price range with the same quality as you are there's not that much more room on the market. Aside from reviewers and obscenely rich collectors, who is going to buy a 5th masterpiece Grimlock? Since there's no one really making figures outside of the G1 style (and the occasional IDW one) you could be the first and corner the market. I mean, people are obsessed with Beast Wars (even Hasbro is returning to it) and yet there's no one making 3rd party toys there either (outside of Megatron and Primal). They could make bank on 3rd party Beast Wars toys, but nah only G1 is allowed.

I haven't kept track of them and don't know their plans, but presumably if it sells well enough they'll make more Cybertron figures and maybe branch out. Besides that, there are a couple companies making figures based on artwork for some cancelled TF series where everyone turned into mechanical animals, and a few others. They're sparse, but they're out there, and if they got enough supporters, they could get bigger and do more non-G1 figures, and others might follow in their footsteps.

This is really impressive, I’ve seen a few people doing tons of stuff like this and they always look amazing.

This is bonkers! The fact that this is fully fan designed and engineered is incredible. Great work, Sam's Forge!

Aww man I remember having a animated lug nut! This looks really cool! Kudos to Sam cause wow that is nice!

This is, straight-up, amazing.

God he looks amazing, I really hope Iron Factory do a collab like you mentioned or at least do their own version that looks just as good.

This looks great!

I feel like this could be the future of toy production. Like 3d printers will become more affordable and available so most people will have one. Then toy companies can just sell the schematics and you print them out yourself. This way if anything was to break you could just get a replacement in a few minutes to a few hours depending on the piece. You could also use your own colors to make different characters using the same mold.

I do agree with the idea that if you or someone else offers to 3D print this for others that they should buy the files themselves. But I also know that 3D printing isn't easy, and they are very tempermental, so it's not something that can be done on a mass production scale with just a single printer. I've had my 3D printer since July, and I've been having a lot of problems with it, with missing layers, materials clogging the nozzle (my 1kg roll is some kind of bioplastic that has trouble melting properly even at the highest temp), and I've already had to replace the nozzle and the Teflon hose. Really hope to get the gremlins taken care of so I can print this myself (I did buy the files for his Siege Shockwave add-on kit).

Really enjoyed!!! Won my subscription !!! xD Bring more videos of 3D prints of toys o/

This is absolutely incredible! Hard to believe this is 3d printed

With this we are now a little bit closer to the third party making Transformers Animated stuff

I ran most of the larger parts overnight, but maybe 40-45 hours of print time? Ish? I didn't keep good track of the time. Maybe 3-4 hours after that to fix up/assemble, most of which is those little cockpit window pieces, which took a little over an hour. As for materials, I used 7 different colors of filament (gray, purple, teal, yellow, red, black, dark gray), which average about $20 per kilogram roll, so $140. BUT I didn't use anywhere NEAR all of any of those, the actual material used was less than $20, maybe even less than $10.
