3-D printing

[SarahLadd]

Have you looked at lychee slicer for resin? I find it to be more consistent and user friendly than chitu.

It does support Mars 5 ultra.

The first one I printed got snatched, so I printed this as a replacement. The tentacle is PLA. The cup is PETG. It's my first time using PETG and I need to dial in my settings. It's a little blobby.

So the Smithsonian has an EXTENSIVE library archive of 3d scans of objects in the catalog. They provide the scan files free of charge in a number of formats including .obj, which pretty much every 3d printer on the planet can read.

The interesting thing with their scans is that you get the good and the bad. If there are dents, holes, other weird deformities, you get those too. This model would not hold liquid as-is because there are several holes and chips in the original item in the collection and they're faithfully re-created in the scan model. It's a perfect re-creation of the piece as it exists today, but perhaps not a faithful rendition of the original due to wear over time.

Im now able to use my printer again so i printed a scentwork pinecone for the pups (it came undone from the bed in the last part).

Then im doing Lithophane printing. I found you can use plain white pla or pla+. I started with a already made file. But am going to do some personalized ones for Christmas presents.

I saw this and think it would be funny to give to a realtive as a joke but i dont have the time to print it right now with printing everything else.
It looks cool!
