New 3d print: Me

pavey_3d

I suppose my 3d ego is finally complete, I successfully printed my own bust (on my Makerbot Replicator 1):  A buddy at work brought in his iSense scanner (for iPad) and I was interested to see the quality of scan it would produce:  About what I expected based on the hardware (Xbox3 360 Kinect/Primesense Carmine), equivalent to my kinect scanner & Skanect:  Not great for fine detail, but consumer-level industry standard.  I modeled the base in Audodesk 123D design.

Next up, everyone will get Christmas ornaments of my head…

Est. 1938

This probably won’t mean a lot to you if your house wasn’t build in 1938, but it was still a fun project. Modeled the plaque while I taught myself Autodesk 123D Design. Was designed with angles in mind for sand-casting, and the final result both printed and cast very well.  Printed on my Makerbot Replicator (1), the sand-cast with aluminum.  Now hangs proudly by my front door.
