Hey guys, battlecast cho gath has always been the coolest skin in game imo, so i decided to 3d print one out as a sculpture for my desk! took about 1 week, taken 3d model from thingiverse (which was taken from the game files), then disassembled it with software. put LEDs in it, painted, assembled. had a lot of fun with this and i'm pleased with the result. measures about 13'' x 9'' x 7''

Rest of the pics Chogath

As someone who loves digital modeling myself how did you get the 3d models from the game files????? I've been stumped by that for awhile now!

Edit: Also, forgot to give a thumbs up, great job!

This is incredibly cool, what was the process like of getting the LEDs into the actual model and wiring it all up?

(You should print one of Veigar trying to reach for a DFG as it flies off into heaven, just to shake things up.)

to make this more awesome... working speakers. for some odd reason i suddenly had a thought to put joints & motors in so the thing could move to the beat... but the speakers would be awesome to start.

Wow, that is so amazing! Still so mindblown that we can make things these with 3D printers nowadays~

I have been working with cheap 3D pritner lately and believe that you could get better results if you tuned your 3D printer settings. It seems to me that you use too much material (probably too high extruder speed). From my experience even cheap 3D printer can make smooth surface.

Though it is great work.

I am struggling with raft settings and settings of bottom layers because I cannot get solid bottom surface. And also support pillars are damn hard to get right. So you did a really great job in getting anything out that looks like something.

What 3D printer have you used? If I may ask.

I would love an instruction set, as our school is getting some 3D printers. Could you give a bit of instruction?

Anyways, great job, it looks awesome!

You are now the Envy of all Rioter's GGWP, the company has nothing on you

that reminds me of the Level 1 sentry that Valve has at their HQ as well as the Portal Sentry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1kccz1qziE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvZhRUsKNG4

How much that set you back, the material for the model?

Can you print a 3 d printer in your 3d printer? (I imagine not bc of heating issues/prints in plastic)

Sell me one, seriously how much you want?

i like the deep sea terror Chogath better he looks more like godzilla

I do have a 3D printer, but i never print any thing out yet. lol

I would so much like a Gentleman Cho'Gath with a light up cigar. Shut up and take my money.

Svanjord3/23/2015, 2:18:01 PM1 votes

PLS do project yasuo just imagine, use orange leds and maybe his sword could light up, that would be just amazing O

It needs to be mass produced. Rito would make millions

I. Must. Have. One.

Help. Me.

Great job though, I'm surprised Riot hasn't seen this and jizzed their pants in awe!

Messaiga2/16/2015, 6:08:14 AM1 votes

This is actually pretty great. How much would one of these cost if you were to sell one? If I had money I'd probably commission a Battlecast Skarner. :D

Very skilled. If you are looking for another challenge. Could try making one similar one but a bit larger and with base/ bumping (not sure of the actual name for the speakers that you can see move) in his shoulder cannons as well. Not sure if it is impossible given the materials or may be expensive if bought device with them already then took off the case and put them in. But if you like it could be fun. Either way great work as is.
