Bionicle Turaga Whenua - Complete Printable Set

"The secrets of the earth are written in the deep rocks: the wisdom of the past will guide our way."

Directly from the underground tunnels and caverns of Onu-Wahi comes the wise and thoughtful Turaga Whenua! This miniature has been faithfully recreated in every detail for all nostalgic fans of the first, unforgettable 2001 generation. Whether you are a long-time collector or a Maker looking for a piece of history to print, Whenua is ready to lead your village (or your IKEA bookshelf!).

⚙️ Print Notes and Set Content

The model has been optimized for FDM 3D printing, maintaining the iconic color blocks of the Onu-Koro leader: dark grey/anthracite for the Rau mask, arms and feet, and black for the torso and the iconic drill.

• Complete Model: All structural parts, joints, and the characteristic earth drill staff are included in the file.
• ⚠️ Missing Part (To be sourced separately): The print does not include the component "Black Rubber Band 20 mm (Square) (22967 / 22968)", as it is a common, non-printable rubber band. It is necessary for the arm movement mechanism, but easily replaceable with any small office rubber band.

📖 Assembly Instructions

To correctly assemble all components and bring the wise Onu-Koro elder back to life, refer to the official assembly diagram below:

Happy printing and may the Great Spirit Mata Nui guide your extruder!
