It takes me several hours to do the first draft, then 2-8 hours to print, then I nearly always spend a couple hours refining it–adjust the size, add more trim, make the legs fatter (the legs keep coming out too skinny).
This one’s my favorite, with delicate pierced “carving”.
This one’s a copy of a Michael’s hutch I bashed years ago. Version 1 is painted green, Version 2 has panelling and molding and knobs, but has print weirdness because I forgot to flip it onto its back.
Yes, that’s what I wanted it for, too.
I got the Creality Ender3, it does a great job. Shop it out for the best deal. Creality3D Ender-3 Pro – Creality 3D Pro-PAD-LSR-US-PM&utm_term=creality ender 3 pro&utm_content=ender
They look amazing. I had no idea the cost of the printers had come down so far! Wow! I love what you are making. They are super realistic and detailed.
Woohoo, thanks!
Sometimes I wonder if 3D printing is real crafting. You know, I just mess around with the computer, and out pops a finished item.
Hmmm, what would be the hallmarks of CRAFT?
