Diablo fans have had a lot of reasons to talk about the franchise lately, causing a resurgence of fan artwork. One fan recently showed off a custom model they had made of the Prime Evil Diablo as he appeared in Diablo 3.
The statue was shown off by CubbyNINJA on both the Diablo and 3D Printing Reddit. It took them almost two weeks to print, assemble, and paint the model, which was designed by ZeroSwat. However, the results of their work were nothing short of amazing.

CubbyNINJA’s statue is incredibly detailed and accurate to depictions of Diablo in artwork and in-game. The menacing model stands at nearly 18 inches and could be easily mistaken for an official model at first glance. In fact, the quality of the statue is comparable to Sideshow Collectible’s Limited Edition Prime Evil Diablo statue.
According to CubbyNINJA, the Diablo model itself was printed from 32 individual pieces on their modified Ender5Plus 3D printer. They used ArmyPainter SpeedPaints, including special UV-sensitive paints to evoke the glowing hellfire effects on the Prime Evil’s face and chest. The 3D-printable model is available on cgtrader for 35$, which is much cheaper than the Sideshow Collectible’s $350 official alternative pictured below.
TheDiablo 3 fans who saw CubbyNINJA’s work were astonished by the quality of their work. Diablo’s Prime Evil appearance in Diablo 3 was a drastic and unexpected shift from his typical appearance. While this appearance was polarizing, with some fans loving his new look and others disliking it, everyone agreed CubbyNINJA captured it perfectly.
