High detailed articulated model of Matrix Sentinel creature. ‼️FOR RESIN PRINTERS ONLY

I've always wanted this creature on my desk. Commercial products are too expensive for me - those detailed and nice ones at least. I know - there are some 3d printed Sentinels on the internet but those are quite complex and hard to print. So I've decided to make my own which will be easy to print and with minimum effort to assamble needed.

The result looks just fantastic

BONUS

Check out this video where you can find my trick how to make standard resin look like metal without any painting involved and result is almost INSTANT Unlike painting this method keeps every little detail preserved and make it pop even more than any other method.

Just wear a mask when doing this. You should have plenty at home after Covid-19 ;)

I've provided raw unsupported meshes as well as presupported and tested ones in Sentinel_Resin.zip file

‼️Please make sure your exposure time is calibrated well. There is plenty of tolerance in the model, however it can happen that your exposure time is little bit off. I accidentally printed one set of tentacles with overexposed settings and had to spend extra time with cleaning those little tentacle joint as they were really hard to press-fit together.

LEGS Articulated legs needs to be printed as separate parts and assambled together BEFORE UV curing when resin is still quite soft. (See YT video above)

TENTACLES

There are 12 tentacles on the body of Sentinel and each tentacle consists of 32 individual joints, one Hand and screwable Root. I've printed chain of 6 tentacle joints stacked on top of each other and filled build plate with those chains. Half of all joints needed can be printed on Elegoo Mars 3 at once so I'm sure you can print all of them at once on something like Saturn or similar sized printers.

Snap-Fit and GLUE Legs and Tentacles are Snap-Fit however the only thing you have to glue are tiny legs on the bottom of the body and the eyes :( I recommend to keep printed eyes on the build plate until gluing because some of them are really tiny (see photos please)

TIP I poured flexible resin into the bottle of standard one. (cca 75ml) Resulting prints are considerably less brittle.
