I am still experimenting on what can be done with the Form2 printer and the durable resin material. I figured it would be a good test to make a figure with a transforming feature. I always loved horseshoe crabs so I choose one as the alt mode for the figure.
The transformation works well although with this figure paint chipping is kinda unavoidable. The tail can either be used as a sword or a gun. Full disclaimer: I only have one figure at the moment. So this picture is a composition of two separately taken pictures. Here is a video of the transformation:

Very neat. It's been fun to watch you progress as a toymaker.

Thanks! I hope I will keep coming up with new interesting things to share in the future.

Man this sort of does look like something we could have seen in Beast Wars. I really like horseshoe crabs but for a somewhat dumb reason. So I play Magic the Gathering and way back when I pulled a card out of a pack called "Horseshoe Crab" and as a joke I told my friend that it was going to be the new champion of my deck, he made me do it by refusing to play me for quite a while unless I proved that Horseshoe Crab was still in my deck. In a later set they re-issued Horseshoe Crab and I pulled a holographic one, I treasure it still.
Random story over, good job again.

Looks awesome! It reminds me of some of the Beast Wars toys. I am a technology teacher and I have experimented with 3d Printing with my students but no one has made anything quite this cool. Great stuff!

Thanks! To be fair this figure was only possible because of a new type of resin for my printer that is very much like PVC. I could not have made this figure as effectively with any other material or printer.
