Bonus: Iron Man MK6 Suit (Marvel)
It’s many people’s dream to one day become a super hero. With this full-size Iron Man MK6 suit, you won’t just impress your friends, you’ll blow them away.
Be careful, though: The arc reactor is hard to make… unless, of course, you print your suit in a cave with a box of scrap filament.
No, but seriously. This print takes an enormous amount of post-processing and fitting in order to get the results to look like the author’s pictures. With patience, however, you too can join the Avengers.
