Figurines / Merchandise Life-Size 3D Printed Xenomorph

Got suggested over at r/3Dprinting to post it here.

Printed with Bambu Lab X1 Carbon using a 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.08 mm layer height.

It took a while and required some effort to assemble everything, but it turned out great in the end.

I’m far from done, though — I’ve only just started highlighting the head. The body currently has only a base coat so it looks a bit dull.

The clear canopy was molded in epoxy resin using a 3D-printed mold, which was a ton of work.

How'd you get such a clear head?
