The hoses should print fine.. Depending on what kind of printer they're using I suppose. The ones I've seen and have experience with could handle the hoses with no problem.
Back on this project, this time 3Dprinting both Zoom and Black Flash as busts with swappable heads and symbols, decided to make the base as a portal as if he’s coming through the portal from Earth 2 like in season 2 of the show.
WIP Hi world, this is my Yakuza artwork, which I developed during my participation in the ArtStation challenge "Neo Tokyo: Exponential Reality" in the Film/VFX Character Art category (rendered). This experience was incredibly exciting and allowed me to navigate the entire 3D pipeline, from likeness sculpting, modeling, and…
My home office area before the bank busting overhaul a year ago. After the overhaul. (Pic taken last week.) The 3D printer is in another room with better/more ventilation.
yeah, if the model doesn't have any overhangs it could easily cut out on an a CNC milling machine. You'd probably end up with tighter details than from a 3d printer.
Arranging my traditional art tools goes like this: Grab cheapest sketchbook with highest page:cost ratio/pull copy paper from printer > grab nearest pencil/biro > draw.
My work around for this is going to "devices and printers" look for the mouse icon with a caution sign by it called "usb input device" and then right click/troubleshoot. This seems to work most of the time
wow this is amazing! Im not sure if you already said this or I missed it, but do you have to model to the actual size of the final toy or is it just a scaled size obj that the 3D printer reads?
wonder if it's any coincidence this is coming near the presumed release of Zbrush 5, maybe that's just such a milestone improvement that they're willing to release a compromised zbrush 4 to get hobbyists/3d printers into it.
