not sure what Stephen is saying, but I *probably* agree with him...
Definitely agree with Deozaan though :Thumbsup:

Just one question... why did you use a different font?

It's stephen.
That is all you need to know. There is no why.

Print an 8' x 8' x 8' one...then I'll be impressed

mouser · « **Reply #82 on:** April 07, 2018, 02:05 AM »

I printed out the 8"x8"x8" baby cody model.. The scaling up had a couple of issues.. the most serious one was I enabled supports and they kind of merged into the model, which has required some facial reconsutruction for baby cody. No cost was spared to give him a proper beak, but I will need to wait until he wakes up from surgery to determine whether it was a success. If so he will go in for painting and then have his photo taken..

How long did it take? And how much filament?

mouser · « **Reply #84 on:** April 07, 2018, 06:52 AM »

it took 21 hours. and a LOT of filament.. not sure how much.. maybe 1/3 to 1/4 of a spool?

What do people want printed on their coins?

I suppose first we need to decide who is getting the first batch of 12 cody awards, and then ask them what they want their coin bases to say...

Here are the kinds of reasons we would nominate someone to get a hand painted custom cody award:

Helping manage the forum (moderators who have volunteered their time to ban spammers, etc.) or otherwise help improve the site (helping organize fundraiser, and new site etc.)
Coding snack authors who continue to do lots of coding snacks
Users with the very highest post counts
Super donors

So who should the first 12 go to?

wraith808 · « **Reply #86 on:** April 09, 2018, 06:35 AM »

You said coding snacks, which immediately made me think of skwire. It's pretty amazing how he finds the time to help so many people so quickly!

skwire · « **Reply #87 on:** April 09, 2018, 10:00 AM »

Here's an incomplete list of who I think of for various reasons (and in no particular order): 4wd, Ath, hamradio, c.gingerich, Deozaan, Skrommel, Stoic Joker, wraith808, IainB, tomos, lanux128, app, rjbull, rgdot, 40Hz, cranioscopical, & Stephen66515.

Deozaan · « **Reply #88 on:** April 09, 2018, 11:10 AM »

Nudone for sure!

And didn't Carol Haynes used to be more involved in the administration of the site in the earlier years?

If cranioscopical gets one, then the one he gets should have Cody's face painted in clown makeup.

Here's some photos of the 8"x8"x8" giant baby cody, painted:

From far away it looks great, from close up you can really see some of the imperfections: The beak needed reconstructive (epoxy) surgery; there are a couple of prominent layer lines near the botton, some areas are faceted.

I'd be happy to send this to someone who has a nice home for it (has to be indoors since PLA won't last outdoors), and would be best someplace where he is sitting at a distance.

KynloStephen66515 · « **Reply #90 on:** April 15, 2018, 09:33 AM »

Omg giant cody is brilliant! You could probably fix him up to look a crap load smoother by using some thick gloss as an undercoat then just repaint the detail points over the thick gloss.

I'm finally printing out more 3d cody+coin models.. If I have previously promised to send you a 3d cody, OR IF I SHOULD HAVE, please message me to remind me now!

Cody statues are boxed up and ready to bring to post office:

mouser · « **Reply #93 on:** February 11, 2020, 04:36 PM »

I'd love to see some photos of people with their cody/nany statues when they arrive.

mouser · « **Reply #94 on:** February 14, 2020, 03:47 PM »

Any cody statues arrive yet?

It is a huge pain to mail these to destinations outside of the USA.. customs forms and all that.. and not cheap.
So the mugs are probably still the preferred thing to send out.
