Fantastic build 👏.

This robot looked fantastic!

Wow those colors..that tone of red and the gold are so good

Love it! Your videos always make me want to make things

I love both robots! That red paint is amazing. You must have done an awesome sanding job, because It looks like he's made of metal, very nice shine. Really enjoyed both of these builds!

I love that retro deign , it looks like a robot you'd see in comic books in the 50s and 60s

Another great build! I don't care what you use to build robots, I just like seeing new robots. Have you ever considered making a robot like what was shown in old Warner Bros. cartoons or in the Paramount Superman cartoon "The Mechanical Monsters"? Those were always some of my favorites.

The robot looks amazing 😊😊😊

I absolutely LOVE this build/print project & the duo is just awesome. Keep up the amazing work.

I appreciate how you kindly approach the topic of of 3D Printing, knowing how some people will react. Between the highly toxic nature of the materials, learning curve, and the prohibitive cost of entry for a great many creatives, your choice of words was sensible and sensitive to the community. Regarding the build, Great job! Love both of these, and the retro/iron giant vibes the give off. Beautiful colors as well. Also, that track playing over the glamour shot at the end was decent. I always enjoy your videos and hope to be in a position to build, and help support content creators such as yourself, some day when I graduate from college and have income again. I really like the promotion of creative work, it’s fun, good exercise for one’s brain and fine motor skills, not to mention a great balm for one’s mental well being. Thanks for doing what you do. A grateful observer.

The printer settings are really dialed in to me! Looks great

For most people whether or not to resin print isnt a question. Kitbashing is great for creating custom things that are completely unique, 3d printing is for making things that other people have designed. Not everyone has the skill or time to scratch build something cool.

Love how this guy turned out. Your builds and videos are inspirational.

Otro hermoso robot para la colección!

Robot 13 looks cool like the Iron Giant.👍 The dry brushing on the red body is also nice. I love the robots you make. I'll try my best to make one too.

These bots are fantastic Dave. Got some very cool Retro vibes.

My husband just upgraded his resin printer. He's been printing terrain for his newest game he created. I haven't printed anything yet on the new printer. I'm a buy the file and print and paint kinda gal. (For now) I'm still trying to master the filament printer. 😬 I will always love scratch building/kit bashing. But there's absolutely an element of fun with 3D printers in your toolbox. Thanks for sharing all you do! It turned out great!

Hollowing out a resin builds DOES use less material but it doesn't decrease the print time. The UV light cures each layer so if the layer is big or small it doesn't effect the print time. I love the quality of a resin print but there is something magical about hand making it out of reusable materials. I kind of prefer watching the latter. Keep up the great work Doc!

the two of them together give me rock em sock em vibes, you may need to make a yellow boxing ring for them to play in

I see no problem with using the 3-D printer, it's cool for some builds and could help you out with other builds when you can't quite find the right parts you need for scratch builds. Plus when you do your scratch build you can then reproduce it again if you ever want to make a copy for someone, and not have to scrounge up hard to find parts. Plus like your Big Mac guy you built and your Mario on the plant you could do like a hard version of the burger box or the drink cover and not have to worry about it getting damaged over time. And this little robot 🤖 came out totally awesome. Super Cool 😎 👍👍👍

Looks great! The red one looks poseable, like it can move it's limbs. Is it able to?

It looks great. The old fashioned way is more my style.

3D Printing can be fun and it can yield gribblies you may not be able to find in other places. I like to think it's a great way to add to a kitbash rather than completely overtake it, but either way it was a great video thank you!

My primer of choice is army painter color primer skeleton, is a good flesh base for minis. I love watching 3d printing,i wish it was a little more economical. But i love these little robots,would be cool to see the over complicated 90s version.

Looks great! I'm a huge fan of 3D printing, but sanding takes a looong time. Well done!

You could try a rubbing compound to get the overspray off next time

Awesome! This would print on a FDM printer just fine. Printing ABS or ASA and then smoothing it with aceton wil get about the same result as this.

Great work Dave! The resin robot looks good and the additional height adds to the look of it. Thanks for sharing this.

3D printing is just another tool. I think the important part is doing the design work. If the design is something you like enough to make multiple copies of, then you could work with your buddy to design something that you would be able to cast in urethane, which would save on a lot of the cleanup work for each robot.

I think it would look great with copper pipe as well!

I love these "knuckle-draggers". Chonk-Bots are cool, and these have just the right balance between cartoon and retro sci-fi vibes. The widespread fear and loathing toward 3D printing is something I don't fully agree with either... It is a tool that requires skill and forethought to master and I'm sure you get a lot out of using it for prototyping / short-run sale items and just thinking / designing differently. It doesn't take the skill out of model-making any more than a limited resin garage kit figure model does and modellers love those... I imagine pipe-chomping 'trad-dads' in the 1960s were equally dismissive of their children's styrene kits because they built models from balsa wood when they were young. Although there are people who buy ready made STLs rather than design their own but, 'hey'... Every modeller is differently motivated / differently able.

This is really cool. Will the files be made available?

Another crackin' shirt DAVE.

Maybe some gold leaf from Michael's?

That was pretty cool..i have a friend who has a 3d printer, can we download those files? If so where can we get them?

Did you get that shirt at Goodwill, too?

Gold leaf...

Get ready for the "printing is cheating" people 😂

I always enjoy your videos, but the whole love affair with 3D printing leaves me cold. Personally, I think 3D printing has enough fanboys that it doesn't need my contribution. I've stopped following a number of artists, such as Kathy Millatt, due to their over-reliance on 3D printing. I just find it uninteresting, especially when it seems like 75% of the process is mucking around getting something usable. If it's something I can't even attempt to make without an outlay of thousands of dollars and a lot of time, then it doesn't interest me.

Really cool. Color is off, too bright. Needs to be a bluer red. That looks too Chinese.
