I would love doing this. Just imagine pointing at a painting or model of two dinosaurs fighting and yelling ‘MAH GAWD HES KILLING HIM! HE BROKE HIS BACK!!!’

Now just make them sentient and self replicating and….
Kids today are lazy, back 60 years ago we had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways and come home and milk the cows. Why we could easily lift that thing with only four people.
Father Nurgle is pleased.
It’s turtles all the way down!
I think the other user pretty much nailed it about the enclosure. Unless you are printing materials that require high heat it is not necessary.
Now if you are in a very dusty environment you might consider one just to avoid the hassle.
However you also may want to look online, there are some simple and fairly inexpensive pop up enclosures that work very well. I have been using one for a while now with mine and I print ABS pretty regularly. I just tore all the electronics out of my printer and printed a control box for it (external) to the outside of the enclosure.
I have one cat that would absolutely love to have this done.
And one that would absolutely eat you alive for attempting it.

I always highly recommend Iwata. I have a couple different models of their brushes and love them both.
I was a solely a bristle person myself until about 5-6 years ago and had gotten a couple cheapy air brushes that did not work out very well so I decided to try that brand and have been in love ever since.
The Iwata are easy to take apart and clean, easy to find extra parts and if you take care of them you typically don’t have any issue with them.
I use mine originally painting GW minis but moved on to 3d prints that I do as well. I have a couple different ones - both I picked up during sales around this time of year. One has more of wider needle that I use for priming and base coating and the other I keep for more detail work.
You will probably want an air compressor too. I have had this one for years and it is only now beginning to show signs of wear. Am sure some people on here might have other recommendations but this one has done a great job for me as a decent starter:
Master Airbrush Air Compressor TC-40T
I also have a Badger that I bought several years ago after reading a Black Friday ad that I believe was posted on Reddit. The quality is meh. Some people swear by the Badger brand name but the one I got looks and feels cheap compared to the two Iwata models I got.
The other, sort of weird thing: I remember emailing their customer service a question when I got it. Nothing that I thought was out of the ordinary just a ‘hey guys, I got a question as to what came with this Black Friday deal’
Whoever replied basically gave me a piss off email of sorts. I got this reply back telling me that was what I had ordered and that was what I got!
I just chuckled and thought, someone is having a bad day but marked it up as not to buy another of their product. Later I ran across similar posts on Reddit and other sites about people having fun times with their customer service. Whether or not the have changed, I dunno. I have stuck with Iwata and Vallejo products ever since.
Looks great!!
I got the files and started printing mine but got sidetracked so I did not get it done.
One question though. Did you have to scale the helmet parts any or how was the fit?
Just a ship dropping out of the warp…
Yup, typical cat helping.
