I wanted those warframe figures, but they were sold out, so i had an idea: "Why not try to make one?"
Having a 3D printer at my disposal, i looked upon a 3D model, then I downloaded the 3D model from Steam Workshop for tennogen development.
But that's not enough. A cool figure must have a cool pose to print, but which one? Well...that´s tough, what should i do?
Although i have little expertise in CAD software, I tried Fusion 360 to tinker with the 3D model, since i knew Blender wasn´t going to cut it.
About those figure thing, I had inspiration from my small collection of 1:6 scale Hot Toys figures, non-scale Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech figures, and some old Master Grade Gundams i assembled back in 2006. With that in mind, i leaned towards the idea of making an articulated figure.
In Fusion, i started drawing, joints and tools, blew the dust off my Wacom, and started drawing the cuts to the mesh.
It is a lowpoly model, those used to create Tennogen skins. If you have expertise in 3D modelling, feel free to beef up the poly count.

Post-Printing
After printing there still work to do
Some sanding is required, if you have a dremel at hand, it will be a walk in the park. the hands are not perfectly posed, so i used a lighter or soldering iron to bend the fingers around the nikana sword and sheath.
How I Designed This
Made with Fusion 360
I am not familiarized with CAD software, actually it is my very first project after some youtube tutorials.
