Is buying the CoolProps Thomas even worth it? I'm kind of a die hard fan of Thomas & Friends. The teal edition that released this year is on doorzo for $6,500 and it's unironically one of the rarest pieces of Thomas & Friends merch that exists. The normal one without Annie and Clarabel costs $1,950 on doorzo. I'm thinking maybe I could by a bachmann ho scale teal and normal thomas model and buy the kato face pack to slap on the models and call it a day. But I don't know I've always wanted a replica of the TV series prop since I was a baby so I don't know. Iv'e always worried about making a 3d printed version because I live in a very hot climate and fdm can warp.

>>11845637Buy an Elegoo Mars 05 Ultra for $300 and teach yourself the basics of blender. There is no sane reason to spend $6500 on anything like that.
>>11845833Nta, but I have that exact printer and have been using it for a while now to print minis for my D&D camoaigns. Is there a particularly good channel/series you can recommend for learning Blender?
>>11845637Is that really a toy? Sounds like it’s a prop replica. Just do what >>11845833 said. Also there are people who buy the screen used faceplates and cast them in resin, you should look into that.
>>11845833This but unironically. You will benefit greatly and will have way more satisfaction having actually built something yourself. Buy a car for the difference in price, idk
