dipstick Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Although I like my original design better, I went with a similar design I saw on turbosquid. It has more straight lines and so easier to cut into. I also made the roller bearing for it. I'm now done with pistons, I think I'd like to make a skull next. I've read it is very hard though.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, once you figured out how to use a 3D program, most of the time it's just a matter of time until you get it done.

It was actually one of the easier parts to make. The wrist-pin and rod were easier, but the piston was a challenge. Mostly because I had to cut holes into it. 15 hours ago, Reptillian said: Actually, once you figured out how to use a 3D program, most of the time it's just a matter of time until you get it done. Have you used Blender? From the videos I've seen, it looks like they mostly sculptured the skull. I have little to no experiencing with the sculpture layout. I guess I'll have to figure it out.

I do have a long history with 3d software. For me, it always end up being time-related rather than anything to do with how to make it.

dipstick Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Well sculpting that skull is a very slow process, but I'm going to try anyway. In the meantime, I downloaded a skull blend file under the Creative Commons licence to play around with and see how it's put together. I only changed the texture and animated the jaw to make it laugh. Edited September 10, 2019 by dipstick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipstick Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 I recently discovered that I can export a 3-D object I made as a .obj and then import those into any blender project. Here is a wallpaper I made using various 3-D objects I made recently. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyReZ Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I have the Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5 with its Deep Exploration 6 CAD program by Right Hemisphere. It allows me to create 3D models and can save/export to files that can be rendered in Blender. I created dozens of 3D files in a software from Micrografx called Simply 3D. Micrografx was bought by igrafx, that became Right Hemisphere. I have not found a rendering app that can open Simply 3D's .sd3 file format. I can run Simply 3D on a Windows 7 or older computer , but I cannot export the file into another 3D format.

You'll still need to make the shading and animation in blender itself. 3 hours ago, Ego Eram Reputo said: I made this in blender Nice work. I don't have a 3-D printer, how much did that cost you?

Landed it for less then $400NZ. Its an Ender 3 Pro by Creality. Sourced it from Aliexpress. I did a lot of research before getting it. This model is regarded as the top of the hobby line. I'm thrilled with it and highly recommend one, especially if it is your first printer.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 The whole printer is less than 50cm high. The black bed the deer above is standing on is your print volume. Its 220mm x 200mm square with a maximum print height of 250mm. The print quality, density and added supports all affect the print time by a large factor. My "Dead Dog" sits on a base approx 25mm across and are 32mm long. They take about 30 mins to print in medium quality. At very high quality you could double that print-time. https://all3dp.com/1/creality-ender-3-pro-3d-printer-review/ Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipstick Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Amazon has the Ender 3 Pro by Creality for $269 USD. It looks good, though I can't come up with enough justification to buy one yet. I just finished a fluid animation based on THIS TUT. I changed up the shading and lighting, but that's it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
