A friend recommended I make this as a joke, but I thought they were serious. The final product has everyone I show laughing hysterically or throwing it onto the floor in fear...

Online, I took a scanned Buddha statue and a scan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and put them into Tinkercad. By deleting certain parts of the various structures, I was able to combine the two into a single work of art.

After uploading my finished product into DREMEL DIGILAB 3D Slicer on my computer, I scaled my model to a size that I wanted. Once finished, I downloaded my new g - code onto my flash drive.

Note: Any size will work for your statue.

Flash Drive and Start Up

Start up your 3D Printer and set your filament to a color that you like. Once you are finished testing it out, plug in your flash drive and select your g - code. Press print, and let the machine work its magic!

Note: Depending on how large you decided to scale your Buddha to, it could take longer and/or shorter than you might have expected. Just be patient with it.

Also... Make sure that you will not run out of your filament! This can be problematic... :(

Congratulations! You now have your magnificent creation! Depending if you have supports, you may have to trim them off of your statue, like me, but this is easy and will not... well, it SHOULD not... it should not affect your build.

Enjoy your new Buddha statue!!! :)
