Moon Knight is a mythical character who first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1975. The character became popular again recently because of the Moon Knight miniseries, which is streaming on Disney+. This series focuses on Marc Spector’s struggle to find a balance between different identities while also fighting to stop supernatural forces based on the Egyptian pantheon of deities.
This refreshing yet mysterious series includes a ton of fun collectibles, including statues of various deities, scarabs, and weapons. Whether you’re a fan or you know one who would like the paraphernalia, there are some great Moon Knight models in the makerverse. In this article, we’ll present some of the coolest ones we found.
If you see a model you like, but your 3D printer is suffering from a multiple personality disorder and isn’t turning out optimal prints, head over to Craftcloud where accessing 3D printing services is made easy.
Want to know if you’re set in the right direction? The Scarab of Ammit may help you or lead you to doom. If not, it would at least be an eye-catching piece that you can fidget with. The model comes in two variants: one with wings that can move freely and the “Mods” version, which has wings that open with the click of a button.
The latter version needs extra materials for the folding wings to work, namely rubber bands, magnets, and a pen spring. The designer posted a brief tutorial on how to assemble the extra materials to create the Mods version. Further, they suggest printing the wings vertically to get better details.
In case you want to get your hands on something different, check out these lithophanes based on Moon Knight comic book covers.
The designer, SomeJW, includes hanging tabs on the model so that you can hang the collection with a hook. They also offer a few print suggestions: printing with a 0.1-mm layer height and scaling the model along the X- and Y-axes but not along Z-axis to maintain proper translucency.
This design is modeled from the statue you see in episode three. Spoiler alert: In that episode, soon after the marvelous scene in which Khonshu turned the night sky back to 2,000 years ago, the gods imprisoned him in a stone statue.
This fairly detailed statue was designed by HickoryHill, and it shows Khonshu imprisoned in stone. The updated version includes a flat base so that you can keep it upright without any concern.
To further enhance the look of the 3D print, you can use novelty filaments and carve out additional details if necessary. In addition to those post-processed and painted, stunning prints have been shared made with marble, glow-in-the-dark, and silk gold PLA.
The Moon Knight’s weapon is called a “Crescent Dart”, and this model will prove to be a superb cosplay accessory. You can also print it as a stand-alone decor or keep it handy in case you encounter any of Ammit’s creepy monsters.
The designer recommends printing the model with a resin 3D printer for finer details, but the file can be printed on an FDM printer, too. The community uploads look great, especially the ones in gold and silver.
No list is complete without a model of the Moon Knight himself! This is a somewhat detailed model of the Moon Knight in his iconic pose with crescent darts. A paint job would add a nice touch to the print.
This design is for sale from a popular designer, figuremaster, and can also be purchased bundled with a model of Mr. Knight. No printing tips are given, but the designer offers their email address in case of any questions.
Though the designer notes the model is okay for both FDM and resin 3D printing, a review casts some doubt on the split model’s suitability for FDM printing.
This face-changing fidget model is one of our favorites. Mark Spector’s face can be seen on one side and Moon Knight on the other. Check out this video of how the model works.
The model costs around $3. The designer says it can be printed without any supports and suggested a 0.15-mm to 0.2-mm layer height, 8% infill density, and the print speed set to 40 mm/s.
If the full Moon Knight model looks too aggressive for you, how about a mini version? This design calls to mind Chibi models (i.e. a cute character with a large head and proportionately short body).
While 3D printing this model, you’ll need supports.
Inspired by Khonshu’s floating head, this model would make an excellent wearable for a Halloween party! But, before it ends up in your face, there’s one issue you need to take into consideration: This model needs to be printed on a belt 3D printer. In case you don’t have access to one, the designer also includes the model in parts, which can be assembled after printing.
Before you wake up as Khonshu, it’s beneficial to check out the designer’s advised print details. They used a 15% lightning infill and a 1.5-mm wall. They recommend making the helmet as hollow as possible to keep it light, and to help with weight distribution, you can try attaching a ballcap inside the skull.
Similar to the Khonshu Imprisoned model, you can 3D print Ammit Imprisoned, too. This model by Kostka3D is an improved version of the original, which is available on Thingiverse. The designer says they removed overhangs and flattened surfaces in order to improve printability.
A 0.15-mm layer height, 3 perimeters, and a 10% infill density are recommended. Given the adjustments, the designer says the model doesn’t require any supports. The jaw portion of the model, however, may be difficult to print and may need support.
This Moon Knight logo, based on older versions of the comic book, is a fantastic 3D print that you can either print as a whole set (text and moon) or separately as decorative items. And, to make that possible, the design also comes with an STL file without any pegs or holes.
The designer states that they printed both models using PLA filament at 0.2-mm layer height, and glue isn’t necessary for assembly. There’s one make that looks great in black and white, but other colors would look good, too.
