· Upcoming Print-Preview-Throne of the Nautlius King
It is to be printed hollow with light tube paths for neon and regular fibre optics. Right now I am printing out some things to see how well my plans for tubing go. It is taking forever to get the material out of the tiny areas and you can see that through the clear PLA. So, that is what is taking so long. A lot of tests to get the light paths correct and also find out about getting all that PVA out of some tough areas.
Edit: Added Pics.
This is the solid view. I added the Mohawk since I first posted.
X-Ray view to show thin skin from hollowed object. And, no red areas
Sliced view at about mid level of the ceegar. I went with the line type color so you could see the walls and hollows better. But, wow, it is a confusing set of images.
