3D printing greeblies

Sounds great. Smile

My first model has been printed, but I don't have any pics to share yet. Of course, we started talking improvements right away. Once we get a good result I'll share the model, too. For now the edges aren't quite as sharp as I want them to be.

And I never got around to sharing pictures.

Here is my first printed version of a code cylinder. Let me know what you think.

As said the edges aren't as nice as they should have been; the support broke some of it off when it was broken off. The round thing is first attempt to print the first 3D model I worked on. There the support structure was far too dense though. It didn't finish printing as we ran out of time, which was lucky for me, because I could then make a better model and get that printed for free instead. Smile

I also printed a Hoth pilot comm pad (in black) and two imperial greeblies (they were quick) at the course.

What printer did you use? Which plastic also?

These are PLA plastic and it was a FlashForge Dreamer.

The PLA is more forgiving than ABS and non toxic, so that is good. But don't ever drop it in vinegar or it will be no more!
