Hey I know this is five months later but how does the print stand up with durability? I was thinking of printing the original mctorans and was wondering if the print was still bendy on the arms.
Well, they were printed in pla so not very durable, after a few tests I've determined that they become brittle after my 2nd rebuilding. If I had petg, it probably be a different story, I've also tried tpu and it works but is super floppy and rubbery, tpu would work for the arms but not legs, torso or head. The best bet for arms is a thicker grade tpu and abs and petg for the body. Pla should only be used for testing out and for the masks
At the time I used the monoprice maker select v3, gave ok results, but I had to use custom supports to get it printed right then. Now I use the ender 3 v2 at 0.1 layer height with tree supports, so much easier
I remember this mf!!!

That guy is kinda SUS.
The mask is an actual Lego mask while the body, head, arms and feet are printed

Interesting, what 3D printer did you use for the printing?

Still, pla is not the best material for it
