Hi Voron! Can U tell me, what 3d printer on the last post?
it is “Hercules NEW”. I have got it recently and just experiment now
Hi ZBC! The last half year I have diligently learned the art of 3d printing with my desktop 3D printer.
I think, it is time to share achievements

zbrush booleans really cool and on time. now I can break the model into parts in a couple of clicks. It is still possible to change the location of the cut, the position of the objects.
Next 3d print in PLA. Boar head wall mount.

Your wall mounts are fantastic! The material/color combo you selected looks so awesome, great work!
zero-13 thank you!
With the boar i also used zbrush booleans to make a hollow model and to cut a mounting place for teeth out.
just one click and i can get separate parts for printing.

The next step in my experiments is trying to clone 3d printed zbrush models using casting materials.
I printed this bear model out in PLA plastic. 10cm and 20cm
later i got the silicone mold from 3d-printed 10cm model
then I tried several casting materials, polyurethane, gypsum and…
… including chocolate.
Turned out from zbrush to chocolate ;).
10cm milk chocolate and 20 cm PLA

Amazing work.
thanks Rogan!
here’s an video where i gently pull the chocolate bear face away from the silicone mold:
Also i upgrade my old models sometimes. One more Bear.

Hey! I’m trying to color my Zbrush models 3d printed in plastic. first experiments with acrylic painting.
Let me remind, I use these not the most successful 3d prints for training, so lanes, seams, etc. are present.

THX Cheers
That’s very good Can you explain how you did this painting? it looks very very nice ^^
@Totyo thank you!
I use acrylic bronze paint as base. Then i use bituminous lacquer (deep black lacquer) like on this video (russian language, but i think this method is quite understandable)
Thank you very much for the information, i’ll look at that !
Very nice! Your photography on these pieces really shows them off well. I’ve just started printing
some of my work and I need to do a better job of cleaning up the prints and taking good photos.
