3D Print your custom tf2 character? - Games

Hello everyone! 3D Print your custom game character? A few friends and I have been writing up a bunch of code to help bring 3D printing to the games we love to play. But we can’t hope to build a great service without the input and feedback from the gaming community. We’d really like to hear from you.. specifically whether you’d be interested in turning your own custom tf2 character into a real life figurine? What are some of the ways in which you could use such a figurine? Or really any other question that you may have. We’d be happy to hear from you and answer best way we can. Thanks!

I'd be pretty interested in that, I think it'd be pretty cool to have like a little collection of stylized figurines of your own tf2 loadouts.

Hell yes would I be interested

YES! I CAN FINALLY HAVE A STATUE OF MY HOTPINK ANGER + LIME GREEN VEIL COMBO! In all seriousness, a statue of my heavy would be amazing. Will we be able to choose weapons too?

really interested i remember cuntsman (i dont really remember) 3d printed a pyro model and it broke into pieces during the printing process

rather than printing figurines of our characters, i'd love to have replicas of certain cosmetics.

I had some engineering project with the 3D printer. The parts are goddamn delicate.

sounds pretty interesting to me! I'm sure printing a model with an unusual would be interesting too!

People with burning unusuals should have theirs made out of wax

I'm pretty sure this is possible and being done already. I believe I saw a video from Tested.com or something where a guy was showing off this system he made that allowed you to take model files from games such as Half Life 2 and TF2, import them to Google Sketchup and then 3D print them. [editline]Edit[/editline] Here it is, uploaded March 2013. It's not exactly the whole "Google sketchup" thing I said above (though I'm pretty sure I saw something along the lines of that elsewhere) so right now you can't upload custom models. I really need to do more research on this because I swear I saw something about 3D printing your own models. [url=http://sandboxr.com/]They have a website too!

I wouldn't mind 3D printing of weapons and hats for the NECA TF2 figures. I could really use a sandvich and a flare gun.

If you could print them into little tabletop game pieces, with each loadout being a different unit, I'm sure Facepunch would help write up the rules. Facepunch needs a big collab project again after Robotic Boogaloo, maybe something like this would be fun. Other then that I would love a Briefcase for my figures.

I wouldn't mind my own mini-Houwar. Could be combined with the official TF2 figures, so you can make your own loadouts.

print minisentries. let the bodies hit the floor.

My god I'd love to print some of my workshop items.

I 3D printed a companion cube in my sculpture class. It's about 1 inch and the little crap took forever. I tried 3D printing a model I made of my profile picture and it ended up with 3 heads and a lot of cutoff.....

ubersaws are actually quite easy to make [URL="http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/155/9/d/TF2_Ubersaw_Template_by_SodiRyfe.jpg"]as props[/URL].
