Its hard to believe that you can create 3D printed toys in your own home these days. Were living in the future!
Its taken me a couple of days to print and paint these GoatPunk toys, but in retrospect thats still a lot faster than getting them sent off to Shapeways for printing and discovering I need to tweek the model only to wait another month to see if things worked out.
I didn’t expect the prints to come out this good from the get go. I was assuming there would have been a great deal of setup and fine tuning the printer and 3D model. It all just worked from the first print. I can’t wait to see what else I can make with this 3D printer.
I Recently got myself a 3D printer, so this will be the first test print coming out of the Pegasus Touch by FSL3D
The 3D printer uses UV laser to cure the resin
After each layer is sketched with the laser the build platform rises and dunks the print back into the resin
The print is held to the build platform with support structures that look very alien
The model is finished and left to drip the excess resin
After the model is removed from the build plate, it is then submerged in Isopropyl Alcohol for 15 minutes to remove the excess resin
After testing printing one goat, I scaled up the operation and printed twelve more.
Each goat was then hand painted using acrylic modelling paint the same as what the use for Warhammer models
I tried a variety of colour similar to the colour scheme you see on the GoatPunks game
Some of the grain from the 3D print come out, but I’m still impressed with the resolution of each print
Found some nice containers that fit the goats perfectly
I also created a grass platform for them to stand on, as well as tying them down with sewing string so they stay in place
These containers are quite nice as they stack together and are sealed air tight. Here is the full set of goats printed and painted
