Release: The Batman (... Patman..? No?)

Added 2021-06-23 20:09:48 +0000 UTC

Hello, gang!

Robert Pattinson Batman checking in, or as my work folder says: The Patman. Been trying to squeeze as much detailing into this one as possible, so make sure you zoom all the way into the images so it will all be worth it... :P In the upcoming releases I probably won't do quite as much detailing, because in the end a lot of that detail is going to be lost and, well, I get a bit obsessive about the details.

Printing instructions

There's 3 versions. Only version A should require supports, because it's mainly a resin version and, well, we usually put down supports for those, right?

Version A

Best suited for resin printers because there's not a uniform print surface at the bottom. It's made to be raised off the plate using supports. The only difference is the "V cut" which makes it looks a bit nicer, but you are really not missing out on much by printing the B version.

Version B

This one is primarily for FDM printers because it has a big flat bottom surface area.

Version C

Just the head, for those who want to print bigger and get all the facial details like the stubble visible.

Everything is neatly divided into folders so you know what to print. The heads of versions A and B are interchangeable an are thus marked as "AB" to indicate this.

All heads come in three versions:

_CC (concave)

Traditional sculpture eyes where the iris is "scooped" out.

_CV (convex)

Smooth eyeballs that are suited for those of you who wish to paint the irises, or just like the look better.

_Lenses

Just lenses that cover the eyeholes.

In conclusion

I feel I've been spending a bit too much time on this one making this month a bit more about quality than quantity. For next month I will see if I can't find a better balance between the two. I'm not going to lie, I see the most successful 3D printable STL Patreons out there churn them out like they have a personal sweatshop in their basement and it makes me question my approach a bit.

How do you lovely people feel about it? Is it a waste of time working too much on a single piece, creating diminishing returns? Right now I'm leaning a bit towards "yeah, maybe" but I'd love to hear your input down in the comments! Don't forget to smash that like button, subscribe, and ring that bell! KEKW... ohgodkillmenow.
