New epic creation... Crabshines! One still with hands looks more like a Spidershine though. Just gotta make sure I'm printing all three variations reliably before I put them on cults3d.
One with big scorpion claws was the earliest and best print. Chrome painted one was the most messed up which I glued three new legs on from an earlier abort. As already seen, chrome spray paint I got from an auto supply store works great. The yellow spray paint from a craft store goes on too heavy, further softening or obscuring the details that were already softened in the original scan models. Both are designed to adhere to plastic well, but I won't be using this sunflower yellow on any more Kinnikuman/MUSCLE prints.
Not too happy with this Chinese CC3D brand PLA+ Max, Evening Sand color. The finished prints might actually be more durable than the good 3D Fuel brand, but I don't think CC3D prints as well and it definitely doesn't adhere to the heated printer bed as well. It took many attempts to get started with it and I think it still trails and wisps a bit despite being fresh out of the package. The Evening Sand color is disappointing. It turns out super light pink after printing. In the following picture the depiction of the regular MUSCLE color is a little distorted looking darker. That middle finger claw custom looking more like it, is actually pink but a very decent shade. As you can see, this Evening Sand looks sickeningly pale for the Buffaloman and God Shark prints. Also you can see God Shark's left fist screwed up when I used my gcode file that was successful with 3D fuel. He was printed next after the Claw which took many tries to get started. Now that I've gotten a ways into the material, maybe the same file will print better. But I don't think I'll be printing many of the more usual MUSCLE figures and customs before putting it back in the package and throwing on my 3D Fuel Metallic Copper. I bought the CC3D and two spindles of 3D Fuel all at the same time.
Curious about that middle finger claw custom? Though not currently for sale, it's by this guy on ebay:

Here's a bunch of stuff I got from him about five to six years ago, which I did post about somewhere on this forum before.
He originally just had a not-so-great draft pencil concept sketch of his six-armed spinning head three-faced kung fu beast without any picture of the finished figure, which that alone got a bad writeup somewhere. I don't remember what I was thinking but I gave him a chance and ordered just on that. He rewarded me with not one, but three, with two in carded packages. Then I ordered Geronimo the Epic Destroyer and he gave me two of that. I ordered two or three other figures (Claw, Headhunter King, and Bayou Boba) besides those two, but as you can see he sent me some other little ones besides the four or five total I ordered. There were also little stickers included. Currently he doesn't seem to have any of these ones available on ebay, but maybe a message to him will encourage him.
Well in the meantime, I added Cursed Roller Ashurashine, "Black Hole" Ashurashine Magnum, and Brocken Jr on thingiverse. https://www.thingive...rdensen/designs
