\"Screen<\/p>\n

Began with a simple head model on thingiverse<\/a> and then experimented with Meshmixer<\/a>\u2019s primitive sculpy tools for one pomodoro. This is basically like the iPad application – fun for a while but wildly inaccurate. The white line in the first image is the line of symmetry when \u201cdrawing\u201d; your \u201cdrawing\u201d will be mirrored on both sides. I found that it was better to add bits and small lumps one at a time (a bit like how one would model in wax with small fingertip-sized lumps to be slowly worked in) and finally just using BubbleSmooth to go over the lumpy bits.<\/p>\n

Sent it to print at a speed of 80mm\/s. On hindsight this was too fast. Would set the print speed lower to around 40mm\/s or 50mm\/s for a small print like this in future…<\/p>\n

Support structure didn\u2019t stick well to build plate. Nevertheless I didn\u2019t cancel print since I realised it would probably still complete the print. Do note a bit of \u201celephant\u2019s foot\u201d on the first layer as well.<\/p>\n

Completed Georgehead. Overhang was quite messy due to part of support structure detaching from build plate quite early on in the print. Nevertheless I think it benefitted from the support structure. Might use a different slicer next time around to see if the support structure is done better for the same model.<\/p>\n

For comparison with the real Georgehead…<\/p>\n
