  1. You can try with this waterproof sandpaper ! Don't forget to polish with steel wool or use a king of rock polishing machine like this guy !
  2. I am first using sanding paper (120 and 180) then I am polishing using steel wool
  3. Here is my first bronzeFill print ! the end cap of the lamp is not sanded nor polished to show the difference
  4. This is the electric blue from faberdashery. To get this finish I print on glass with a thin layer of UHU stick
  5. I also printed a case but for the iphone 5 and with a custom logo on the back
  6. I used one full spool of black PLA filament from faberdashery and half a spool of white PLA filament from the ultimaker store In fact I made to signs: the black one you saw on my previous post and another golden one (RAL1036) for the inside of the store: The backlit sign is about 3.5cm thick and the golden one only 1cm The most expensive part was the LEDs and it's power adapter I bought 5 meters because I was unsure of the needed size. I only needed about 3 meters so I used the remaining LEDs to make another sign with my company logo (pictures will come as soon as I have time to place it on a wall) I used some kind of lacquer coating to hide the joint between each pieces and to make the surface as smooth as possible Then I sprayed about 6 of each color paint spray. (I made 3 or 4 layers) I think (hope) it will last for long as the sign is inside a gallery and not exposed outside !
  7. Yes you are right my time is not for free but It was a great experience and now I understand why they charge this kind of prices !
  8. @AaronAlai, I am pretty sure I saved money by doing this myself because my brother received a few proposals for about 3000 euros and I only spent about 300 euros ! Also it took me a full week to print, glue, paint and illuminate !
  9. Here is a job I made for my brother's store. He needed a backlit sign for the front of the store so I printed it ! The P is 47cm high and was made of 8 pieces. all the other letters except the M just fitted the build area I used almost 3 meters of leds to make the backlit By the way it is in brussels. Gallerie louise. If someone want to see it in real !
  10. I finally tried the galaxy blue filament from faberdashery along with the aurora UV active Here is the cryptex I made And here is the same one under UV light This aurora filament is looking nice !
  11. I ordered the same day from faberdashery and colorfabb both have a very short lead time. faberdashery shipped my order the same day and colorfabb on the next day
  12. and here is a bigger version printed at layer height 0.12 shell thickness 0.8 speed 50 I simply applied a decimate filter in blender and then a subdivision surface I really need to smooth this model but I am not very good at sculpting !
  13. My last print is based on a scan of a Einstein bottle holder. Not really a scan but I used agilesoft photoscan to generate a mesh based on 52 pictures of the model. here is the model along with a small print in ABS with a CTC printer (not so bad printer by the way) and a UHU stick holder printed really fast on my Ultimaker original. I needed something to hold the UHU stick near the printer I am currently printing only the head at a bigger scale and I will post the result here If anyone is interested I can share the model ! Ho and now I only print on cold glass with UHU and the PLA stick very well.
  14. Ok I finally decided to paint the T-800 I first tried with the gold spray I had and finally bought a few more colors to spray on it ! This is my first painting attempt (except maybe a room wall ?) let me know what do you all think about it this is only the first layer.
  15. Yes I printed it hotter and the overhangs are far better !
  16. This time I tried to print the dragon: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:218026 Still using the translucent blueu filament but this time starting at 230 for the first 2 layers then manually reducing the temp to 222.
  17. I am thinking about painting it in gold (RAL1036) the only metal color I have available at home I will give it a try maybe !
  18. No no downscaling. Actual size of the model ! took about 7 hours to print with the mentioned settings I think I am going to reprint it at max build plate size ! What temperature did you use ? I suspect that my settings are not the best one for this material It cam out of the printer exactly like this ! I did not touch anything. But look at this picture: the top of the head is far than perfect with 0% infill Also check this closer look at the face !
  19. it was just a test print I will print it bigger and maybe with 1.2 shell thickness because there are some remaining holes with only 0.8 mm I think I will keep it as is for now. The translucent color is looking really nice under sunlight !
  20. Here is my last night print in translucent blue (I love this material) Printed without any support layer height 0.2 shell 0.8 (maybe I need a litle more) fill density: 0 speed 50 It looks really good except a few holes on the top of the head
  21. Difficult to take a better picture with my iphone 5 it was printed at 0.06 layer height 0.8 shell thickness speed 50 temperature 220
  22. Anyway it is the only one available near me so I had to try it !
  23. Hello, I confirm that printing on blue tape 2080 works really well. Also the surface is looking better than with the 2090 ! it looks more glossy
