For anyone who wants a Godzilla figurine for themselves, weve put together a list of coolest 3D prints of the famous monster. If you see a model from the list that youd like but dont have the means or desire to print it yourself, try Craftcloud. With range of materials and finishes, your Godzilla will be as terrifying as you can imagine!
Note that for the purposes of this article, well be referring to Godzilla by he/him pronouns as they do in (most of) the Hollywood films, but we acknowledge theresheated debateabout this issue. And now, lets see all the ways to print this monster safely in your home!
Godzilla
Rising from the depths with ferocious scales and an intimidating presence, this modern reinterpretation captures the monstrous essence of the king of the kaiju. The static pose reveals taut muscles and a silhouette true to the modern version of the franchise, striking a balance between ferocity and anatomical accuracy. With sharp detailing on the dorsal plates and a face sculpted with cinematic attention, this is the kind of model that commands respect on the shelf, or wherever you choose to display it.
Standardfused deposition modeling (FDM)printers will do the job, but increasing theresolutionwill help better capture the details of the scales and spines. Some users have reported success with alayer heightof 0.12 mm, with at least one noting that a standard print profile with a layer height of 0.2 mm meant a slight loss of detail.
Additional print settings include 15%infilland usingsupports, which require patience and care to remove. To avoid wasteful purge due to color changes with a multicolor setup such asBambu Labs AMS, the designer also included an option to print the body and dorsal fins separately. Many makers have opted forglow-in-the-dark filamentfor the spikes, and lets just say,it works.

Aircraft Carrier Diorama
Nothing like a colossal duel to make any space more epic. In this cinematic diorama, Godzilla and King Kong face off on a miniature aircraft carrier, recreating the iconic scene of the titans clashing on the high seas in 2021sGodzilla vs. Kong. The details are impressive: Fragmented waves, a hull with impact marks, and poses that capture the tension of an imminent battle. This piece goes beyond the status of a toy or figure; it is pure 3D spectacle.
The model was shared to be printed in five build plates, making it easy to print on standard FDM printers. Recommended settings include a layer height of 0.2 mm, twowalls, and 15% infill.
Users have reported successful prints with a variety of 3D printing filament, including PETG and PLA, and in a variety of colors to highlight each element of the diorama. For example, useruser_830074727printed Godzilla in green PETG, King Kong in brown PLA, the aircraft carrier in gray PETG, and the smoke in white PLA .
Assembly is simplified by built-in connectors, although a bit of glue might also help if you anticipate kiddos getting their hands on this action scene.

Articulated
For those looking for a more interactive version of the King of the Monsters, this articulated version offers a fun and engaging experience. With joints that allow movement in multiple parts of the body, this model is ideal for dynamic display or as a collectible toy. The design is print-in-place, which means it can be printed in a single piece with all joints functioning, eliminating the need for later assembly.
Thus, the printing process is easier and ensures that the joints work properly from the start. The designer shared print profiles for PLA with a layer height of 0.2 mm and 15% infill. They also shared two options: A single-color profile, and another one for a multicolor setup (e.g. one with Bambu Labs AMS). Printing in single colors allows for custom painting later, especially if this monster is meant to become a kiddos companion.
