This is a set of pieces that can be used to recreate the Aquanaut 2 mini-figure at 500% scale. This minifig was included in six different sets released between 1995 - 1996.

All of the stl files needed to create this have been included in the "stl files" folder below.

For those with Bambu printers, there is a Bambu project file located in the “Bambu Projects” folder to simplify things even further.  This file contains the parts in an ideal orientation for printing.  Parts that need painting have been painted in this file as well.  Note that you will need BambuStudio to open or work with this.

This minifig was remixed from the Mega Lego-like Minifigure published by Julia Ebert.  The changes made to the original design are:

  • All parts were scaled down 50% to work with other models we've published at a 5:1 scale from original Lego parts
  • A modified torso which includes a cavity to hold the torso sticker part provided with this design (the sticker part will need to be glued in place at these location).
  • The waist parts were modified slightly to make them easier to assemble.
  • At 50% scale, the pins were difficult to work with (and really not needed) so these were removed from the print list (Glue was still used to attach the connectors to their respective parts)
  • Modified the hands to print with their connectors attached (This will require supports but eliminates the need to glue these pieces).

The basic instructions for assembling the figure can be found in Julia's post. This is a fantastic model that's easy to print and assemble.  Special thanks to Julia for sharing this work!

All the accessory parts were taken from thal72's Printables profile and scaled to 500%. He has a massive library of Lego compatible parts available at this location.  If you wish to do any additional customization to these mini-figures, this is a fantastic resource to find additional parts.  Special thanks to him as well for sharing this work!

If you decide to print this, we'd love to see it.  Please post pics of your makes, and please consider liking this design by clicking the "like" link above.

Happy Building!!
