Preparation of the mech I designed in FreeCAD, then printed on an Elegoo Mars 2. Pieces still need to be cleaned up a bit before being assembled, and I am not sure on the pose I want it to be in when finished (it is designed to be multi posable, not just to be assembled in one particular position). Also, no idea on a colour scheme as yet. Guess I will just wing it!

I have more (close up) images if anyone is interested in them

    Stuff like this makes me want to get a resin printer. I have an FDM and it is great for what it can do, but smaller stuff like this can’t even compare.

    I’m looking forward to seeing progress on this if you post it!

        Holy crap, that cat looks so real!

        Jokes aside, that is some truly impressive stuff. I don’t think you should be worried about painting this one.
