3D model printing? |
| category: gfx |
|
|
|
Has anyone here tried printing a 3D model in Shapeways or a similar service? If so is it good enough to render christmas presents? :P |
|
|
|
yea, I've done that - was quite surprised by the high quality. Some of them even print in colour :D Straight from .obj |
|
|
|
I've uploaded a test model and I've noticed the preview 3d render had visible flat faces. Is that too noticeable on the final thing? |
|
|
dude, you have a makerbot at altlab that you can use.
or are you looking for something big? |
|
|
|
It's not really for me. |
|
|
I know an artist who uses them and has been pleased

Also got an assemble-your-own robot model for a friend there and he liked it. |

|
Good enough? Sure. Enough time to get it printed and shipped to you before christmas? Hell no :) |

demoscene 3d model printing |
|
|
what gloom said - you're too late bro :( printing takes like ages.
if you are crazy enough, get yourself "pepakura" and fold your models by yourself :) (like suggested by 4mat, but in any complexity ;) |
|
|
|
pro: what do you mean, "complexity"? Just do what the demoscene does best: make LOTS of cubes! :) |
|
|
oh wait, you wanted that by christmas?
Go find a hackerspace. |

Those makerbot things usually only print in plastic. And chocolate. |

|
maybe you could make it out of gingerbread and icing : D |

Printing services?! People insists in giving the fish instead of the fishing rod. Damn capitalists. :( |

Damn capitalists! :(
I hate it when firms give people the services they want. |

In related news, I *hate* fishing. |

Good point Dangaufer. But if I were giving my mom a present, for example, I'd give her the art, not the means, because she has no time for that. Well, except beading, and she chooses her own beads . . . |

Just saw this shapeways-site and would like to order a model for my desk at the office - maybe the cube from 'fr-041: debris.'?
Maybe one of the Farbraush guys can upload it to that site? |
