3D printing Kerbals

[Jettuh]

Hey all,

Just wanted to show you some pictures of kerbals being 3d printed

Ok, they have been printed already these are just pictures of the cleaning post process

And a picture of 3 kerbals that are missing their color:

They are for sell?

They're actually being sold by Squad themselves for $45 a pop if I remember correctly. Check the merchandise page, as there should be a link on the KSP main site.

Here you go:cool:

Lemme see if I can make a picture of one being printed right now.

[Jettuh]

So the printer is empty, I'll check in 2 hours when it starts printing kerbals again

Btw, Bob is scared....

[HarvesteR]

That is very cool. Thank you for sharing those with us!

Cheers

[Monkeh]

Hmm, I feel I may be having myself one of those after my next payday.

Totally brilliant.

What is all that stuff that has to be chipped away?

[astropapi1]

btw, bob is scared....

HE KNOWS!

I want one.

Now, we all know how kerbals are made !

[Rappit]

Nah waay man! How cool

[deadshot462]

Printing kerbals.. awesome.

Yeah, time to look into these 3D printers.

[HeadHunter67]

It was definitely worth the cost to buy one of these 3D Kerbals. I would have bought all 3 but I think then, my wife wouldn't have been as understanding.

[Necandi Brasil]

So cool ... I wonder how long will I take to finally buy my 3D printer...

[Jettuh]

What is all that stuff that has to be chipped away?

It's Sandstone.

Basically it's a inkjet printer and a glue printer at the same time.

The glue binds a layer of sandstone together, the inkjet printer adds to color, and the base drops down by 0.1mm and starts the process all over again

@23deadshot462:

No need to buy a printer yourself, just order a kerbal and we print and ship the model for you!

[rdfox]

So THAT'S how they're able to keep bouncing back from exploding and splatting against planets and such!

[rasheed]

Really need a 3d printer. its a shame they dont sell where i live

You can order one online. Just don't expect to be able to buy it with the stuff you find in your couch.

Those are very cool. Any plans to make larger ones? I hate garden gnomes, but I'd happily have a gnome sized Kerbal in my garden!

Would really like a 3D printer too, thou I just googled the price of them and had to close that tab real quick.

[Zeroignite]

3d printers can be built for ~$400USD.

3d printers can be built for ~$400USD.

Yes, but you won't be able to color print and provide the quality of our Full Color Sandstone machines.

Note: you don't want this printer in your living room... the room will be covered with white powder quite quickly

@katateochi: the machine is capable of printing models up to 30cm.

Mind you, it will be quite expensive to print a large kerbal
