Re: The Micro: $299 3D printer on kickstarter
The advantage of the spool fed material is it's cheaper and you can honeycomb pattern the interior of models to save on supplies. The other advantage is if you're using PLA it's made out of natural starches, so it's more environmentally and health friendly than the liquid resins used in stereo-lithography machines. -
Re: 3D printed my daughter Xmas present
Hey prof! Very very cool story, I sure hope that kind of stuff will become the norm soon! As for the Colored Sandstone material : It's very nice to work with, you can sand it down to a smooth finish easily but the color will wear off. It's also very brittle :/ However it is quite porous, and that might be a very good… -
[Finished] Roland G-707 Guitar Synthesizer
This time I decided to move a little away from the usual forms of audio devices and try something new. Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, alder body, and the stabilizer is made of expanded ABS resin. This Roland instrument was made to allow guitarists all over the world to produce a full range of sounds and timbres never… -
Adding action figure articulation / tooling to exsisting 3D sculpture
I am looking for someone confident and reliable to add Ball-Jointed Doll style joints to this digital sculpture.

Re: Making Toys from 3d Art
There's been progress on the development of the Instagram Mascot. Here's a parts breakdown for rapid-prototyping. When making a toy like this, I divide the model up not just to make it come out to the mold easily, but also to be able to cast the different parts in different colored resins. This is why the lens is a… -
Personal Lamp (Sculpture)
I recently started on the construction of a personal lamp. I've been meaning to make it the whole summer, but got side tracked on other things. I hope to finish this up before I go to Art school (october 3rd). I'm making it out of super sculpey. I know some might think it would have been better to make this out of resin,… -
Re: 3D Print!
I've built a few resin and injection plastic models, and if I had to hazard a guess, I would say somewhere between pain in the ass and impossible. Srsly, that would be no picnic. You might could used some sort of self-leveling primer, though. I'm still psyched to try this out, though! -
Re: Woodworking and other real world projects
oh yeah the tiki tile was printed on my large format resin printer. I'm going to make a silicone mold of it then cast a bunch of copies to help a buddy with his back yard project. I also did some costume stuff for film/tv but I can't show that off till it is actually seen by the public.... -
Re: some tiny real 3D
If you make a mold of them using silicon (casting) rubber you'll have a sellable product there, esp the little dragon, I can see those as little bronze resin casts, or maybe even all the way up to hollowcast metals... nice! [that was in reply to MAUL0r, I've still not got the hang of how this forums works!] -
Re: Hydra AA Tank
Forge World is a company out of Great Britain that does resin casts of Table Top Miniatures. I don't like the price they charge for such things so I'm creating my own. But here's the website and tank I'm referring to.…
