Terminator Genisys has fans talking. The 5th installment tries to reboot the franchise and aims at a younger audience. Not everyone’s happy with that. Critics say that the story complicated and relies heavily on effects. Also, an aging Arnold Schwarzenegger is surrounded by newcomers (Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, Lee Byung-hun, J.K. Simmons, and Emilia Clarke).

Anyway: In celebration of all things robot-related, we decided to feature some of the coolest 3D printed Terminator items we could find on Thingiverse. From the fully functional to the downright amazing, this short list shows you what 3D printer can do!

Most of the following designs are pretty sophisticated. If you 3D printing beginner, you can order these items through an online 3D printing service of your choice. If you want to get the best price, please visit our 3D Printing Price Comparison.

T-800 Terminator on Base

This is just a great build of a highly detailed T-800 terminator. It consists of over 30 items you print out and assemble yourself.

But Beware: Thingiverse member Kazolar notes the difficulty level of this project. He warns that the project “is not for the faint of heart,” and we see why. Look at all the detail on the 3D printed Terminator! Although he did not create the original files for his Terminator exoskeleton, he did create printable STL files for fans of the movie to download.

As some party are delicate, you might even consider downloading the files and have them printed professionally. Maybe you should for a steel option?
