I wanted to replace the facade for the Living Dead Girl on my Rob Zombie pin with something a little more dramatic.

I also wanted to stay true to the German Expressionist flavor of the Living Dead Girl video.

Tim Burton was also greatly influenced by the German Expressionists. He was my inspiration for this model:

I tried to utilize the extreme canted angles and forced perspective found in these films. Below is my first draft. I assembled everything in Tinkercad, but developed some of the elements in OpenSCAD and Adobe Illustrator.

Since you have experience with the Mk3, I wonder if you have any thoughts on the new Prusa i3Mk3S? I was just about ready to order the Mk3 when the new kit was announced. Ultimately, I want to get the multi material upgrade as well, but wonder how that competes with alternatives that have a second extruder.

Thanks for that. I guess it’s all speculation at this point. I didn’t buy at this time last year because of all of the back order delay drama. I may just pull the trigger and hope for the best.

Thanks to all for the input. I went ahead and ordered the PRUSA i3 MK3S kit. I've been pretty well sold on the PRUSA for well over a year, but was a little worried about being a beta tester for the new model. I had followed some of the horror stories about the original MK3 roll out, but it looks like they eventually got everything smoothed out. I'm sure it will be a huge upgrade over my old Monoprice. I also have access to an Ultimaker 3 Extended, but it will be nice not to have to drive across town to the university and fight for time.

Ordered just last Thursday and DHL just dropped off this package from Prague! It seems like PRUSA really has manufacturing and logistics worked out for this new product rollout. Lesson learned from the original i3 delays. Good on them!

Now I just need to block out some time for assembly :-/
