More 3D Printing

[MadMan1701A]

^ That looks AWESOME. Can't wait to see the finished print.
Any comment on the final length?

Q2

Thanks.

It'll be about 13'' long, including the little antenna masts at the front. It'll be a pretty substantial model.

Great work on the helicarrier looking forward to seeing the completed work

 

[MadMan1701A]

Thanks.

Test fit of most parts:

Coming along.

EPIC! I love how she's coming out. Is the two-tone aspects to the ship different materials? Meaning some parts are (or at least appear to be) paler than others.

Yep, I used both printers to print this one, and one printer had White ABS loaded, and the other had Natural loaded. It's pretty nice to print out multiple parts simultaneous, now.

Sweet! thanks for the info!

Got a Warp Core "Supreme" lamp done. This one has stickers, markings, and was finished and painted a little better than my previous ones. I think it came out pretty good.

Dang, very nice...

 

[Atolm]

That's amazing bro!

 

[DEWLine]

You're making me wish someone would do deck plans of that boat...yet again...

 

[MadMan1701A]

Thanks guys.

Got a few updates... I finished the MCU Helicarrier, finally!

Also, not sure if I shared this one or not! A client wanted a 10" diameter version of the Endor Shield Transmitter, for their model railroad backdrop. This one was tough, but I think it came out pretty good.

I'll try to get a picture of the whole backdrop soon, I also made some heads for a Star Wars version of Mount Rushmore.

More stuff soon, I'm wore out.

that Helicarrier is So sexy bro! I also dig the Forest moon's shield array

 

[Cobalt Frost]

I agree, the Helicarrier is dead sexy. How might I acquire one?

Cool, send me an email through the web site, or send me a PM. I'd be glad to make you one.

On topic again tonight.

This Refit is going to be my largest starship so far, coming out at 20'' long. The saucer alone is 9'' wide. It's just taped together at this point, but I should be assembling it this week. It's a little rough, but it'll look a lot better once it gets a few coats of primer on it.

More soon.

That shield transmiller would make one heck of a secondary hull dish.

 

[MadMan1701A]

With a few tweaks, I think it would be perfect for that!

Hey guys, still working on stuff. In the meantime, I've been playing with some 3D scanning.

I got an XBox 360 Kinect Sensor, which I'm using to scan people, and I've borrowed a Makerbot Digitizer 3D scanner for smaller objects.

Here are a few images from the Kinect:

Me:

My Brother:

His looks a little better, because I had turned up the scan quality.

Makerbot Digitizer: On these, the object to be scanned has to be a matte white / grey surface. These were two ceramic statues we had around the house, and they came out pretty good. From here, I can import them into Sculptris to smooth them out.

So, the cool thing here, is that I can literally scan an object, and print it right out. Pretty cool so far!

Holy crap! Those are amazing!!!
