phew experimenting on polishing bronzefill is hard work,
How did you guys do it?
link?
I did not came further than this:
(which is rather ok, if i say so myself)
Cheers!
I am first using sanding paper (120 and 180) then I am polishing using steel wool
-
Here is my first bronzeFill print !
the end cap of the lamp is not sanded nor polished to show the difference
-
This is the electric blue from faberdashery.
To get this finish I print on glass with a thin layer of UHU stick
-
I also printed a case but for the iphone 5 and with a custom logo on the back
-
Great print!
What material did you use?
$300 is a lot, even for material but I guess it is worth it.
I am really curious to see how it will last. How did you post process it?
It looks very professional, great job Jonathan!
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 !
-
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 !
-
@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 !
-
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 !
-
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 !
-
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
-
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 !
-
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.
-
Wow really nice job Skint !
-
Ok the last one for today !
-
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.
-
looks good. You did print it a bit hotter then the skull right? If so, did the non overhang sections look better?
Yes I printed it hotter and the overhangs are far better !
-
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.
-
the more i am looking at the skull, the more i need to get some metal paint :rolleyes:
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 !
-
Looks awesome Jonathan! The funny thing is, i just started to print the same Model this morning :rolleyes:
I down scaled it to 0.54 and print it in 0.1mm at 40mm/s. I get some stringing, but it looks really nice so far.
Im gonna post a Picture when its done.
Did you downscaled it or get any stringing? Or did it just came out of the printer like it is on your photos?
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 !
-
Looks awesome Jonathan, do you intend to do any post work, spray it chrome ?
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 !
-
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
-
Also can you show us a photo of the print surface of the green lady... what temp and speed did you print with ?
im not crazy happy with what i can see for flow quality.....
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
-
Anyway it is the only one available near me so I had to try it !
-
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
Post your latest print!
in What have you made
Posted
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 !
