Made in MakerSpace: Batman Bust

Hi my name is Edward. I’m the MakerSpace staff member (MakerSpace Cadet) who made this Batman Bust.This project started with a 3D model downloaded from www.Thingiverse.com

Many of our Library customers print models that other people have uploaded to that site.

I used the program 123D Make to slice that 3D model into layers. I told the software what size my cardboard material was and it gave me a document for use with the MakerSpace’s laser engraver.

I then used the laser engraver to cut each layer of cardboard out. There are about 200 layers.

Once I got all the layers stacked and glued it started looking like Batman. (See first image.)

Then I took it home and kept working on it. I topped his horns with some sculpting clay to help support them. (See second image.)

Then I covered the cardboard bust with spray adhesive and thin foam bandage. (See third image.)

Once he was covered in foam, I started covering him in many layers of painted latex. (See fourth image.)

Once he had a few coats and the color was just right, he was ready to hit the streets of Gotham. (See fifth image.)

The cheesy smile is a sticker. His mouth area is blank so we can change his expression. He’s just really happy to be at the Library.

I’ve also included a photo of the Joker bust I plan on making next. I’m really looking forward to that one. (See last photo.)

I thought this would be the perfect piece for me to kick off Batman v Superman week especially since it highlights them as allies on the same side as opposed to the, you know, typical Hollywood formula of making the heroes fight themselves first until the villain makes them set aside their differences *cough Avengers did it first cough*. Either way I’m excited to see it, and I’m hoping the movie really captures the mutual respect and admiration they have for each other.
