This dudes the Bob Ross of 3d printing
Let's build a happy little terminator.
you said it.
I really wish all videos were as clear and detailed as this - you covered everything, in fantastic detail, from start to finish - and what a fantastic result.
Thank you for watching, and for the kind words. Happy building! :)
The best step-by-step process for this that I have seen. I highly recommend this video. Kudos for your concise detailed explanations
Started this 5 years ago along with the arm. And,.....................I never finished. lol This is amazing!
Oh man, I feel you...I printed this thing in October 2022!!! It has been sitting there staring at me. Hope you can knock that arm out soon :)
Excellent work! Now it's time to start on the torso!😁
Very detailed. Great video!
I love the fact that you showed every step down to which products were used (and some alternatives), thinning of paints that needed thinned, which grit of sandpaper was used & when, sanding sticks, pre-tinning the parts before soldering (and cleaning tip with wire wool), etc.
I'm sooo tempted to try and recreate this build
Thank you for watching! Hope you take on the challenge! Its a long one, but very rewarding :)
Hey HappyTrooper, I just wanted to drop a note to say thank you for demystifying the build with such great vids! I don't feel so stuck with static builds now and look forward to adding electronics to my replicas!
Hello, thank you for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment. We all get stuck on these projects. Just keep truckin'! Good luck with your builds :)
Wow dude, the video and the finished product are super impressive. Thank you for sharing the tips, knowledge, techniques, and product info. Great work!
Heeeeeey! Very nice to see you around again! Long time no see!
Thank you for watching, yes, it has been a long time...too long! Thank you for sticking around. I promise that I'll do a better job with delivering content! Take care :)
~ GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!
~ always - "worth the wait" - on any projects and tutorials . . .
~ I (also) wanted to take this opportunity to - "THANK YOU" - for the very in-depth tutorials, techniques and suggestions for painting (not only from this build) but from other projects you have, such as for blasters, as they have come in handy and results were fantastic!
~ KEEP UP the GREAT WORK!
Thank you very much for the kind words, and for sticking around as a subscriber. I know that it has been a long time. Please give my regards to the other Strike Witches :)
Yay, Happy Trooper is back! Wow, what a tutorial! Very well made and excellent subject matter. Terminator is one of my all time favorite franchises.
Really enjoyed watching this one and I really do need to rewatch your lightsabers - fondly remember them being brilliant.
Keep up the good work!
There is a guy who losted a eye. With help from a glass eye tech and a electronic tech. Made a eye with a red led in it that if I remember correctly. Used a magnet to turn on / off the eye. This guy like going to bars and turning on his eye before removing his sunglasses.
This has got to be the most informative video regarding 3d print finishing and basic electronics that I’ve seen! Very detailed , this should be required training for everyone in 3d printing hobby. Thanks!!!!
Thank you for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated :)
Not sure on how youd print the skull in one piece but enabling the support interface in your slicer settings as well as using tree style supports makes prints with supports come out significantly better imo
Phenomenal work. You did a great job of taking an extremely complicated build and breaking it down so anyone could theoretically reproduce it with a little practice painting. :)
Thank you for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated :)
yea that 2K clear stuff is awesome
I have two T-800 heads, one is ready for paint but I don’t have an air brush.
The coaxial RG6 was a brilliant idea, printing them is a pain!!
I printed them in half as you did, but I printed them upside down like a bowl so there was little support to remove.
I also installed a pressure switch at the bottom of the CPU port so when the CPU is inserted, the eyes light up. When removed, they shut off.
Other than that, I’ll be using some of the techniques from this video to expedite the sanding and filling process on the second head.
Awesome build!
The pressure switch is a brilliant idea, thank you for sharing! Much better than plugging a power bank in. Going to look into that :)
Awesome video and exactly what I was looking for.
Storm Troopers Vs T-800s? Now that's a crossover war I'd look to see :)
Great Video! Excellent instructions and suggestions! It is good to see the other products that you use as well. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Phenomenal work! Truly enjoyed watching and listening to you explain everything in detail, and showing how you hooked up the LED’s - thank you again!
Thank you for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated :)
Amazing project!! ❤ I have to use this kind of painting for my robots... 😮
Apart from the weight you wouldn't be able to tell that this is made of plastic........an absolutely awesome job .........i just love how you can make a 3D print not look like a 3D print
Thank you for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated :)
you're more than welcome@@HappyTrooperDotCom
A fabulous build, nice and in-depth, plus also very clear instructions as per your usual high standards... A few things would not be available here in the UK, especially the Spas Stix, that brand name would 'NEVER' be allowed here!
Despite the long interlude between videos, its great to see you with another fully finished cinema icon.
I look forward to you building the rest of the body by the end of the week using nothing but cardboard toilet tubes and plumbing! 😆
Haha, thank you for the kind words. Can you pick up Alclad Chrome? Or MIG AMMO Chrome? I think those products are available in the UK.
@@HappyTrooperDotCom Yeah we can get those over hear and the European version of Alclad used to be made about 15 miles away from me.
However thanks for mentioning the Graphite Power which looks an interesting alternative...
Very very awesome work,compliments :D
Wicked good to see ya back at it. Fantastic build.
Thank you for watching...and waiting this long! :)
wow great work !!
Very cool and nice detail in your work!
Thank you for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated :)
Wow, what a very informative and detailed video build. I was very impressed with the camera and digital graphics work as well. Great job and SUBSCRIBED! Thank you!
Thank you for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated :)
your videos are consistently awesome! thanks so much
Thank you for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated :)
That looks awsome!
Nice work, and great to see you back 😁
Thank you! Good to be back, sorry for the long absence!
What a great video thanks for share
Love the intro. So well done!
Thank you for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated :)
I admire your patience, the T-800 turned out amazing, really great work. Subscribed.
Thank you for watching, the sub, and taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated :)
@@HappyTrooperDotCom Thanks man!😀
Would love to make this and electroplate it. Nice work.
Wow bro. Amazing. I just made a terminator skull and thank you for the LED light recommendation.
Thank you for watching, glad you were able to pick up some tips. Good luck with your future builds :)
I always knew you would "be back"
You win best comment :D Thank you for watching!
Great informative video.
Thank you for watching! :)
Great again!!! Can‘t wait for the next! 😊😊
Thank you for watching, I'll have another one out shortly. Happy building :)
You have a new Sub excellent work.
Thank you very much, welcome aboard soldier!
Your back!!!!!!!
It has been TOO LONG. Thank you for sticking around :)
This is a tutorial of how to do tutorials! 👍
I'd just print the smaller items on a resin printer - should save a lot of issues with sanding and prep
Yes, great idea, I need to get one of those! Couldn't agree more. Thank you for watching :)
I wonderif the graphite powder would work inconjunction with the mirror chrome?
9:14 sounds like Darth Vader was in the room or you just wear the storm trooper helmet all the time, but like with a regular tshirt.
How to print support inside the model on the inside. Using Prusa Slicer or Bambu labs version under Tree support (strong) 45degree angle (note) make sure “print on buildplate only” is not checked. Slice and note the support the weaves inside the model. Cheers
Awesome, thank you! I created more work for myself cutting it in half...and risking the parts not aligning. Printing it as a single piece is the way to go, especially on the skull. Thank you for watching!
looks great! at 16:45 you say don't do circular sanding - just wondering why that is? thank you
It is said that circular sanding can cause deeper scratches, and could remove more paint than using horizontal/vertical strokes. I have never compared the 2 methods. When wet sanding, the goal is to smooth/finish, and remove as little as possible. This is the method that works for me :) Thank you for watching!
@@HappyTrooperDotCom ahhh I didn't know this, will definitely avoid circular motions from now on thanks! I do tend to remove more than I want most times
I like the air brush gun with the paint below the nozzle. Which one is that?
It is the Paasche H airbrush :) Thank you for watching! amzn.to/3Oskr7Z
didn't see that "no name 2k gloss" you mentioned to bring back the chrome shine after using the aqua gloss clear with a link to purchase it?
Hello, it can be found on Spraygunner.com or here at Amazon: amzn.to/48qb6o5
@@HappyTrooperDotCom thx!

Grandpa model
:p
from beginning to finish, how long total did it take you to work on this project?
Probably do not need any support on the inside of the model do to its shape... I would most likely turn of or block internal support altogether
You are probably right, I may have created a little more work for myself cutting it in half.
You are inspiring me to start 3D printing. What 3D printer do you suggest?
Hello, thank you for watching. I use the Creality CR10. It has been very reliable, and has a large print bed to accomodate larger prints. I realize it may seem expensive, but for the size you get, it is well worth it. Thanks again for stopping by. Good luck with your builds in the future :)
@@HappyTrooperDotCom Thank you for advice and the great videos!
👍
Qual a sua impressora?
oh, i thought you were 3d printing the entire weapons system in a functional capacity. nevermind haha
Imagine how fcked up it would be if he decided to throw it in the cupboard from Indian in the cupboard
The T800 could be stopped with a well placed stick or javelin maybe haha,, theyre shit. I suppose the circuitry is futuristic. I'm joking,, theyre pretty cool,, nice work!!!
Thank you for watching :)
Great work
That looks metal
Шляпа...!
Badass
