While I am pretty sure posting anything made from a 3d printer is probably bad form here I wanted to share a side project I worked on over the weekend. This weekend I digitally drew out 4 "age of sail" style crew in 4 poses in my 3d aoftware. The awesome part about having these designs is I can size them up to 40mm or down to 3mm tall.
I think they would look at home on a pirate ship or navy vessel depending on how they get painted. The figure with the saber was literally transposed from a Captain Morgan rum ad! The UV light is used to cure the resin. Your figures came out very well. Use of a 3D printer shouldn't get you any flack. I used the search feature at the top of page make sure to change the setting to "this forum" and used "figures".
Quite a few hits actually and I'm pretty sure there's more in other sub-forums. Those look really nice especially if you were able to whip em up over the weekend. Properly scaled figures always add life to a static model and really help with visualizing the scale of the project. I recently bought the same printer you have and have used it to make davits and lifeboats for a cruise liner I am making. It produces amazing results doesn't it?
Being a newcomer to 3-D modeling I am impressed with your figures. Can you briefly tell how you made the computer models? At first I spent about 6 hours in the free blender program but then just used Hero Forge miniature maker super fun!
That's an amazing website. Here's a link to their website. That you only needed a few hours to whip that up is enough proof of concept. One question from someone who only has space for small models - down to what scale do you think your equipment would be able to produce sharp results?
The biggest factor for 3d printing figures is the starting digital model high res or low res and how fine the printer can print per line. My printer can do lines down to. For that size it is probably more than adequate for a viewer to see guys with covers arms and legs in various poses that look the part. My biggest concern would be getting something this small off the print bed which usually involves a small flat head screw driver. I am learning to print with supports that make this process less damaging but it is still a learning curve.
In the picture is one of my print failures due to file corruption on the leg. These were all done using the same file and at the same time. Keep in mind I got this printer with resin for around dollars American.
It is NOT the too if the line but will easily do what I need it to. I hope this helps! Oh wow! I just purchased an Elegoo Mars resin printer to do exactly what you are doing! So glad that I found your post. I'm having a blast testing out my printer and can't wait to create some crew, fabricate parts and make ornamentation for my models.
This is exactly what I would like to do too. The quality of prints 3d Printing Models Boat 80 made with resin printers is way better than ones produced with machines using filaments.
Also the cost of these printers begins to be acceptable. But what is still prohibiting me to step on this path is the problem to learn to use a 3D design software so brilliantly that I could be able to produce something that I could be happy with. I have a hobbyist's free version of Fusion software which I have tried to learn, but still after a few month's practize I am still far from being able to design parts for ship models I would like to print.
So my question is, which software you guys are using to design your parts or crew members, and how have you learned to use it properly so that the quality of prints is acceptable? Please post some pictures of your work when you create them. With respect to figures - I have been investigating several online figure creators that allow you to download an. Most of these are geared toward fantasy and model railroad figures and kind of miss out on 18th and early 19th century maritime figures that I'm interested in.
I managed to make a "navy-like" officer in Hero Forge heroforge. The process is fairly straight forward - you pick and choose pre-made bodies, parts, clothes, poses to assemble a figure. They state it is roughly scale. I bought the download emailed to me in maybe 30 minutes and opened it in ChituBox software free in order to create a file for my Elegoo Mars resin printer.
There are many types and colours of resins you can use for the printing. Here are the results using the two resins:. I'll print that size shortly and get back to you folks. This is so good. Having just hand-carved 48 mediaeval Byzantine oarsmen nobody makes and sells these! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy carving, but that was rather more than I'd been wanting to do.
It took only a few minutes to rescale the original in the Chitubox software that the Elegoo printer uses. I did increase the resolution as well. I've got a few more software tools I'm going to explore to create more poses and ratings and get back to you folks.
Not sure if my spouse will allow the annexation of the powder room adjacent to my cave for setup. I have the Anycubic Photon. It takes up the same space as a blender. I use a tupperware pickle strainer full of isobutyl alcohol to clean the parts. After cleaning I have a UV Spotlight that shines down on a lazy susan which I can spin to move the object. The total space is maybe 3 feet by 2 feet. The real art is in the original 3d sculpting, from a digital ball of clay, a figure that not only looks realistic but is recognizably a historical figure.
I know a fellow in Spain who can do that- here's "Papa" Hemingway in scale. Hero Forge is by far the best Figurine shop I have seen. So many choices of kit. With the Figurine's available I will be putting some on my Ships as well. And being scalable they will adapt to any model I build.
HeroForge indeed has a lot of choices, but they are mainly for the war-gaming community and the figures have this kind of stocky appearance that this community seems to like, though it can be 3d Printing Models Boat Up modulated somewhat. Seems to me that someone could make a nice side business in making 3D figures in the various scales we work in.
I'm sure that there are plenty of builders out there who would be happy to buy some to add to their build. Checked out Hero Forge but they don't offer the kinds of figures I want for my builds. Seems like the anycubic photon is a hot item. Can any of you experienced modelers give any advice? You can post now and register later.
