This is a flower chafer. Modeled in zBrush - printed and painted and finish by me 960 mm wingspan. It is quite big. ![Rosenkaefer- - 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/f/0/f062514dcb6589477d8a85a956a64be108d842bf.jpeg) ![Rosenkaefer- - 11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/4/5/45390489d872a5eca22807249a03422d675a27ce.jpeg) ![Rosenkaefer- - 17](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/b/8/b873abf6e25da304891ed328ee7ba91c53ae10f1.jpeg) ![Rosenkaefer- - 10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/f/6/f663a7433f83cbd114b5bb4bfc4cce88408939ce.jpeg) ---

Sorry but what? you 3d printed that? Do you have pictures of the work in progress? It is beautiful! ---

Incredible! I’d love to see some work in progress as well ---

Sorry I don’t have any pictures of work in progress. I’m just too lazy to do that. But until the individual parts are put together, the whole thing looks pretty uninteresting. And the work steps are always the same. I described them very briefly in the forum post on the mason bee. ---

@KlausLeitl, you always seem to do amazing work ---

@MaximLobovsky I was able to find an older post of @KlausLeitl documenting his work with a before picture of the 3D print you are probably looking for. > [@Very big grasshopper - Leptophyes albovittata](https://forum.formlabs.com/t/very-big-grasshopper-leptophyes-albovittata/19715): > > Hi You can make really big models with form2. This here is a grasshopper I made in January for a museum in Austria. Body length is 110 cm from head to the end of abdomen. I think I printed 75 parts to build it. ---
