Batman mintypi

Post by trixtrem » Sun Aug 06, 2017 9:58 pm

G'day guys, this is my first attempt at a project like this and found a nice old worn Batman trading card tin as my base. Thank to everyone for great insight...i have been stalking through the build post and getting a betrer idea of techniques. So to start my post here is my tin and 3D printed parts so far.

Peace

Awesome! Super unique.

Looking forward to seeing a 'rustyPi'. That would be a cool look and any additional scratches, marks etc would add to the look :D

Aww man, you missed a trick! If it's batman themed I'd have so gone for yellow and black with the plastics! :-)

Oh dear. Does this mean I'm now gonna have to build a third one?!?
