Hello all.
My manufacturing/creation has taken another step forward.
As a pioneer of 3d printing on the boards, you've seen plenty of my marrying 3d art with traditional styles.
However, my trusty printer has been retired after a fantastic haul of 2700 hours.
I have added something new to my toolkit - a DLP resin printer.
Printing in resin is not for everybody - stinky, messy, tad bit expensive...but the results are phenomenal. I had fantastic prints on my old printer at 100microns, but in resin, I can achieve 50microns.
This jump forward was spurred by a deadline I am trying to meet. For those who know me, you are aware I have a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C...and if I get into trouble I am resourceful enough to figure it out (ala Mego Shark anyone? lol)
I am seeing Puddles Pity Party again in a couple weeks.
If you've not heard of him, I encourage you to head over to Google, YouTube and enjoy his voice.
I am doing a VIP session with him and my wife - and in doing so, I want to present him with a gift - his own custom Mego.
I have contracted a sculptor to get his head done.
My awesome friend who has made some outfits for me is tackling his suit.
I have to work out some props...but it is coming together.
Alas, checkout this incredible resin print.
This is right out of the printer after a quick rinse in alcohol.
No sanding - no post prep.
It is UV activated resin, so I do have to put the part in direct sunlight for a few minutes - but I have a UV lightbox to use, so win win.
The UV radiation fully cures the resin - hard enough it can be drilled, sanded, etc...
Enjoy
