David before the removal of his supports
Final cleanup!
The pouch and sling were too thin for this printer; they were reproduced,
but were fragile and came off with the supports. A 3D printer that prints
with wax supports, like the one in BYU's Crabtree building, might have
more of a chance at preserving those kind of details.

friggin' sweeeeeet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wes! I was pretty stoked, I'm looking forward to doing more. It's kind of a test for my BFA project
DeleteThat's fantastic! I've always wanted to try 3D printing something but it's so gosh darn expensive. When did the HBLL get a 3D printer?
ReplyDeleteThey've had a printer for a few months, and this one isn't nearly as expensive as things were in the past. David is about 6 inches tall and cost about $12 to print. It's much more doable than it used to be. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteDude that's awesome!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks James!
