Hi,
I was wondering if there are any 3D printing experts that would be able to make a White Water waterfall support, or topper stand (# 03-8745) (pictured)?
Also, would anyone be able to 3D print the shield for the White Water waterfall lights (# 01-10889)? It's normally metal and blocks the 16 topper lights from shining at the player, but I thought a 3D printed one might work.
Thank you
Pic (resized).jpgHi,
If anyone is familiar with White Water / WH2O, do you think the Big Foot Assembly # A-16047 Body & Log Assembly plastic piece (the thin shell the arms and hair goes on) could be 3D printed? It is hollow and has a few spots cut away, for securing it or having the gear motor shaft stick out to attach Big Foot's head.
Thank you so much

Thank you so much. How does the modeling process work? Would a fellow Pinsider need the plastic piece, or just lots of detailed measurements. What is usually preferred if someone would be so kind?
Thank you again 
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Depends on the shape, who the maker is and what tools/techniques he/she uses. Some people are great 3D artists, some are good 3D engineers, some can create/copy basic objects, etc. Complexity of the shape has a lot to do with needing to have access to the original or not, but for me personally if I think I can reproduce something it is always better to have the original in my hand in order to minimize the number of prototypes required (i.e. multiple versions with minor changes until everything is correct).
At this point, unless one owns the game, I don't think any of us actually knows what the three-dimensional object actually looks like. The profile is bell-shaped, but that doesn't really tell us much.
I’d be willing to remove the fur on my mold if someone with skill to reproduce it was willing to take it on? Ideally, I could get the original back, since I’m anal/OCD/a perfectionist, but if the reproduction was spot on I wouldn’t miss it. I’m trying to get two of these (one for brown fur (Big Foot) and one for white fur (Abominable Snowman / Mumble from Rudolph)). Several people could utilize this mold, so a run of a dozen or two might be ideal.
Thank you

Unfortunately it’s six pieces unless you have a huge bed slinger. Several passes with high filler primer two different colors for highs and lows with glazing putty to hide seams. Lots of sanding. Lots of patience. [quoted image]
You’re making Stern Star Wars toppers?
