This is a special project for me.. I grew up in Mexico till i was 11 years old so this Cartoon was actually known as Mazinger Z. However, i found that here in the states was known as Tranzor and was pretty famous here too. Anyways when i was little these kinda toys were not cheap and were not common.

I always wanted one of these guys but unfortunately my family couldn't afford these bad boys. So When i got into 3D Printing one of the projects i always wanted to do was Mazinger Z.

The 1st task was to design a character... I could of done the classic version of mazinger z but doing so i would be just copying stuff that is already out there.. So what i did is a designed a very stylized version of mazinger z.. as you can see on my second pic this version is more of the anime version of Mazinger z... Anyways if you follow me on instagram.com/mstyle183 i been designing a lot of designer toys like Dunny, Munny and MADL.. So what i did in my 3rd picture was shrink the body and extremities and exagerate the head, hands and feet.. to give it a more anime / designer toy look.

Not only this made the look of this guy more unique while still preserving the qualities of Mazinger Z, but it also made it more 3D printer friendly.. I could fit the legs in one print measuring about 5 inches tall, Torso in another and so on..

As you can see the model was cut into several pieces
