  • @kazolar
    @kazolar 7 лет назад

    Bob, this came out really well. You put a lot of effort into post processing of the printed parts, and it shows. Seeing the back panels of unfinished material indicates that your printer settings are not quiet right, there should not be any skipped lines along the perimeter and the top surface should be clean and finished. If you dial in the printer settings, the parts will come of a lot cleaner of the printer and will need much less post processing. If you tune it right, you can get super smooth parts of the bed, which require next to no post processing. Fusion is awesome! You're going to love using it. It's also great for modeling complex moving parts before fabricating them, you can model the motion and save time later.

    Once as a kid, I went to the movies with my mom and brother. We were seeing some movie that mom wanted to see. I told mom I was going to the restroom, and instead snuck for a moment into the theater where Transformers was playing. I walked in just in time to see Optimus Prime's death scene. Like every other young boy, Optimus was my favorite. I walked out of that theater a shell of the child that walked in. Eyes wide open, heart racing, mind blown. It was some time before I saw the entire movie for the context and the rest of the story. Now I've watched the movie countless times with my young son. I'm still a fan of the G1 transformers. Thank you - your prop and video are VERY cool.

    Great job! Thanks for communicating what 3D printing really is, not just hitting the EASY button. One thing I like for post-processing of 3D printed models is acetone. If you get it right you can make your model shine without altering any dimensions. If you get it wrong you'll have just a puddle of plastic. Could use it for glued joints as well if the filaments are of the same color.

    3D printing does take a long, long time. My printers been printing pieces for Solaire's Shield (from Dark Souls) for about 134 hours at this point, with plenty more to go.
    Filler primer is amazing, the trick is definitely many light coats with sanding between each coat.
