How Tall?

After the conversations I had this week with my tutors, we've concluded that it would be helpful to set a certain frame for my project to help me further explore without falling into a pit.

Next to watching the trilogy, I have also been reading more into the Bionicle lore. And it turns out that Toa, can be interpreted to be anywhere from 1.6m to 2.2m tall.

Based on this information, I've decided that one of the constraints or rules that I would like to work with will be that my scale of working should follow that of lore accurate Bionicle. That gives us a scaling factor of 12x for individual LEGO pieces if we use the upper end..

The print from yesterday actually already falls within that scale, just more in the middle region. I will probably have to run my printer 24/7 the coming period if I want to commit to these sizes.

Luckily I placed a large order of filament together with my classmates about a week prior, so that will be of good use.

Below you will find an screenshot of one part, scaled 12 times, sliced up into pieces to fit on my printer's print bed. The first part (the one with the highlighted print bed) should be done printing somewhere this evening and has a total printing time of ~9h.
