Amazing print. Folks are killing it with these DYI 1:12 scale vehicles! Seems like Hasbro is going to lose quite a bit of business if they don't hurry up and develop some themselves. It's clear there is a market for such vehicles.
That looks really awesome, some #60/80 and #400 would smooth out all those print lines and I would have guessed it was store bought. Throw on some cargo net up top and you've got an awesome custom.
It ends up being a tad taller than ideal. I might tinker with printing at a smaller size. However, the back seat might only fit a slightly smaller figure.
Wow…….. that’s so frickin bad ass! Excellent job Brotha. You really knocked it put the park! Where are the files available at, may I ask? 200 hrs is some serious patience and dedication. I’m sure the assembly of this monster was a task in itself. 👏🏽🎉BRAVO👏🏽🎉
Thank you! Cults3D.com, search F5 CONQUEST ARMORED VEHICLE. The original file is tiny, so I upscaled %1650 for 1:12 scale. The design is really “printable!”
@@mlseries2553 yes sir. That’s why I want one too. There’s a lot of stuff out there I want but don’t want to pay the high prices for that are 3D printed. I’m going to have to invest after the holidays and series 3 of course. 😂
Add well over 200 hours to print and that’s without needing supports due to the awesome designed files, I just don’t have the capability to produce them for sale. However, when you buy the files from 3dcults, there is language which allows you to sell the printed pieces so someone should sell these.
There are two types of printers that are common. Resin and filament. This is printed on a filament printer which tends to have less resolution but does larger items. The cost of the filament for this was approximately $60 but that does not include the wear and tear on the machine or the hundred or so minutes I spent switching the prints. The printer was running for over 200 hours.
Nice rig. Would just like to say that I think 1/12 is the wrong scale for 1/12 scale/6" figures. Why? Because at 1/12 scale, a 6" figure on average scales to a 6 foot tall human, of course. Some are larger than that: Mad Marauders Barbecue is one that is larger, at 6.47". That means that Barbecue in this case is almost 6'6" tall. Falcon scales to about 6'4", over 6 feet for male Classified figures seems to be the norm. Cover Girl is a 6" figure, or 6 feet tall at 1/12 scale. That makes sense for a former fashion model, but Scarlett and Lady Jaye are the same height at 6" figure, so either GI Joe only hires very tall women or 1/12 scale isn't correct. At 1/11 scale however, things start to make more sense. BBQ: 6.47" figure * 11 = 71.17". 71.17" / 12 (convert to feet) = 5.93 feet (or just under 6 feet tall, 5' 11ish) which makes much more sense for an Irish-Bostonian firefighter than 6 foot 6. For Falcon (let's go metric) it's 162mm figure, so 162/1000 = 0.162m * 12 = 1.944m = 6.38' (just shy of 6' 4". At 1/11 scale, the same figure 162mm/1000 (convert to meters) = 0.162m * 11 (scale) = 1.782m tall = 5.85 feet = 5' 10" tall. For the female figures, corrected to 1/11 scale it's 152.4mm/1000 = 0.1524m. Convert to human scale is 0.1524 * 11 = 1.6764m tall human female which equals 5.5', or 5' 6" (probably more the case than all 6 foot tall women). Thus, since the scale is more precisely 1/11 scale, and there are some fairly big dudes within the ranks, it makes sense to build GI Joe Classified vehicles with a little extra legroom, at 1/10 scale. Anecdotally, I can say that male Classified figures fit perfectly in terms of legroom, headroom, reachability to things like steering wheels and gear shifters and line of sight with my Axial Wraith 1/10 scale RC trail trucks.
Love it! Thank you for the comment. I agree with so much of what you said. I wonder if the 1:12 scale figures we buy will continue to get bigger over the years!?
@@mlseries2553 The problem I worry about is things like a Mauler tank, the bridge layer, etc. Those vehicles were pretty beefy at the 3.75 scale, if armored assault vehicles like this are this size, tanks would normally be massive if going on real world stats. That worries me because that limits what can be made both in costs and lets be honest, ROOM SIZE for our collections. Its a legitimate concern I believe. Most of us, with all the money we spent on figures, are lucky if we can afford even a 100 dollar vehicle with a 75 dollar tow behind. That's REALLY stretching our wallets for even us "well to do" collectors. I love this vehicle, no doubt about it. Can you imagine if they did make something like the Mauler or Mobat and gave us a removable top where we could move our figures around in the hull of the vehicle and basically turn it into a playset as well as a vehicle? That would rock. If you put computers in the back of this and had only one or two guys in the back working surveillance, this becomes a "base playset". Just my thoughts.
Of course it's printed. I'm done trying to get these from printers who don't respond to inquiries, and I'm not spending the money to buy the equipment to print one myself. And Has-BLO wants too much for their meager offerings. It's all too expensive. I Bow out my hopes of being able to get 1:12 scale vehicles for my Joe's. Everyone was talking about this problem waaaay back when every Joe fan was crying about not having a 1:12 line. Now I hear others b!@#hing about all the problems I just listed, about not having easier access to vehicles for this line.
And you know most dads who get 3d Printers Use them to make toys for their kids. It also gives the an excuse to play with their toys, such as said 3D Printer. 🙂
It's nice, but far too fragile. That's why I dislike 3D printed stuff. If it were printed to use dowell rods to run through the body parts for stability it would be better. In the end, nothing is going to replace injection molded toys.
Thanks for watching. Are you looking for the computer files so you can 3D print this vehicle? If you are looking for a completed one, message me through Facebook. I have one completed and one partially assembled.
@@mlseries2553 YES‼ I'm wandering if your sharing the STL Files for print. I would like to attempt printing this! Can't right now, but I'll look for you on FB then. If possible please let me know here in the comments. Thank You!😁👍

This shows that the gijoe vamp can be easily be in retail stores, and it could be put together like the originals to save on packaging.

wow man this is amazing!!!!
Wow!
That's a solid looking print
Abso-freakin'-lutely amazing... 😮
This is pure awesomeness!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Very cool
Thanks Ray.
amazing
Thank you! I have another one on the printer right now:)
Awesome vehicle! I don't have patience 3d printing and my machine is seldom used. At 200 hours, that's a long time. Good job!!
Sweet Christmas!
Wowcher so cool 😎
Ya buddy. Thanks!
Wow! This is incredible!
I would definitely pay money for this 💰💰💰
Thats a big print
It ends up being a tad taller than ideal. I might tinker with printing at a smaller size. However, the back seat might only fit a slightly smaller figure.

Mannn Is This the Prototype for the Valaverse Vanguard????
Haha. Nope. I’m very excited for the Vanguard. I’m thinking it’s going to be lots of fun!
Kickass!!!
Well hey, when we get Clutch, if Hasbro doesn't give us a VAMP, its good to know we can just print one!
Printing definitely makes me reconsider what I would actually buy vs what I’d rather print. :)
💪🔥
It's kind of big for the figs, but great car
It is big indeed. I found that at this size, I could still fit suited up figures in the backseats.
This is dope brother. Another reason I need a 3D printer. Thanks for sharing. 👊🏻
3D printer: I don’t regret it for a second. I went from whining about vehicles and props to printing my own.

How much?
I have one for sale as of 3/3/23: PARTIALLY assembled. $250 shipped to CONUS. You can Facebook messenger me for details.
Aye what's happening over on the other side of the brick wall now there is a person getting blowed from bullets
Lol. Display table/play area/glueing station/video area. What can I say? Space is limited.
Looking at printing this baby out what did you have to scale the original model up to? If I'm correct it was made for 3 3/4 4 inch figures.
1650% for 1:12. Also FB messaged you.
@@mlseries2553 awesome brother appreciate it!
Very impressive for a 3D print.
Could you share if you painted the body and if the clear parts are separate plasti-cards or were they also printed ?
Clear parts are clear acetate from hobby store. Thank you for looking!
@@mlseries2553 thank you for the reply.
I thought so as these cannot be printed to such clarity.
Nice work sir, are you selling these?

How much did it cost in resin to make this? And how many hours was the printer going? I'm intrigued by the whole DIY industry of action figures.

How much to make another one i would pay some one for this
I am no longer printing for a customer. You could buy the files from cults3D and hire a printing service. Thank you for your interest.

No, there is not a kit you can buy. The Action Force Vanguard will be up for sale this month and will replace items like this in my collection.
Cost in resin / print materials?
I don’t do resin, but the cost of filament is just short of US $75. Sadly, these things don’t print or assemble themselves, lol.
