Ivan Ooze Inspired Power Rangers Figure 90s Movie

PLEASE READ ME !!!

Firstly I would like to say quick thank you for checking out my model, so thank you!

Please note most of my models are made in Nomad Sculpt by hand and are my own renditions (Fan Art) unless stated otherwise.

Description
 

Here is my rendition of the beloved villain Ivan Ooze from the classic 1990s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie! I modeled this from scratch because the original vintage toys have become incredibly expensive, and my little boy asked for one to go with his new "re-ignited" villains.

He stands exactly 132mm tall, making him the perfect average size to blend right in with the official re-ignited series figures!
This model features moving arms with ball joints. To help you get the best possible results depending on your printer and preferences, I have uploaded three different versions. Each orientation has its own distinct trade-offs regarding print ease, joint tolerances, and detail:

1. Print-in-Place Version (Full Model)

* Pros: Ready to use right off the build plate with no gluing or assembly required.
* Cons: The arm joints print much tighter. It is a more brittle print overall, and removing the necessary supports can be difficult.

2. Upright Split Version (4 Parts)

* Pros: Offers the neatest, highest-quality detail on the face.
* Cons: The ball joints turn out a bit looser. It requires manual gluing, which will leave a visible seam line.

3. Lay-Flat Split Version (4 Parts)

* Pros: The absolute easiest version to print with the lowest risk of failure.
* Cons: Captures less fine detail than the upright version, has looser arm joints, and requires gluing (which leaves a seam).

Photo Reference Guide

To see how each version looks when printed, check the product images. The colors represent:

* Grey: Print-in-Place Version
* Pink: Lay-Flat Split Version
* White: Upright Split Version

Critical Print Warning: Delicate Fingers

Every version is super delicate around the finger section. Because the fingers are so small, supports must be removed with extreme care.

* Tip: Use a pair of sharp flush cutters to snip the supports away slowly rather than pulling them.
* If they snap: Please be environmentally friendly and try to save the print! You can easily re-attach the fingers or sculpt new ones using a dab of UV resin or superglue.

Assembly Instructions (For Split Versions)

You do not glue the arms! The arms utilize a ball-joint system. To assemble:

1. Place the ball joints of the arms into their sockets.
2. Sandwich the arms safely between the front and back torso pieces.
3. Glue only the two main halves of the body together to trap the joints inside, allowing the arms to rotate freely.

Print Settings & Filament Recommendations

* Filament Used: All test prints were successfully done using Bambu Lab Basic PLA.
* Color Recommendation: I highly recommend printing him in purple to get his signature look, even though my test examples are shown in pink, white, and grey!

TIPS

• Print using most types of PLA for best results.

• Always allow build plate and print to cool down before removing.

• Please ensure a clean print bed, when models dont adhere to a build plate its usually user error.

• Please as always remove  supports with care

• Use sprue cutters to help remove supports

• If you accidentaly break something save fillament and use some CA glue instead of throwing a project out and reprinting.

• Remember this is a hobby! Have fun, be kind and support your favourite designers with likes, follows and boosts

• Once again thank you for taking the time to view and hopefully print this model.
