Painting Cube PLA Prints

Now that I have the new Sense 3D Scanner, the astonishing potential of this large tool has stormed my mind with hundreds of new applications for 3D publishing.

The Sense color capabilities can't be realized with the Cube printer; but, that does NOT mean that we cannot start to believe COLOR with our publishes. And, this most likely means paint and dyestuffs.

So, I've been experimenting with using modeler's decorate to glimpse how it behaves with my PLA publishes. The first test appears to be achievement. I only use the period appears' because I don't yet understand how well the lacquer that I am utilising will contain up over time. For now it examines large and helps to mask the natural levels of 3D publishes.

For this object, I used multiple outer garments of Testor's No. 28141, Sterling Silver Metallic 3D pursued by several clear outer garments. The results, in person, are much more outstanding than apprehended by this photograph. 

Future Goals

The Sense/Sculpt blend dramatically opened up new possibilities for using the Cube 3D copier in the class of Crafting. While scans of faces and heads is a natural, there are numerous, many ways to present those scans beyond the easy bust above. Making cameo method ornaments is another. Here, for example is my first try to create a cameo method portrait.

While a simple lone color works, it should be a allotment more impressive with some hue that accentuates the cameo motif. choices might be experimenting with diverse antiquing and patina methods. But, the prime goal will be to minimize layering artifacting. So, paying close vigilance to experimenting with modeler's loading and priming materials. 

I'm furthermore very involved in learning to use an airgun for shadowing and stenciling. So, if we have any experts in this area I actually desire to hear from you!

New and Previous Cube proprietors

greeting 

We're happy to have you connect us and gaze ahead to hearing from you. That furthermore proceeds for those times when things don't appear to be going so well. employed through issues is how we discover the most about our devices and our home wares.

Cube proprietors

This blog lives to assist all Cube owners... from those that bought the 1st Gen Cube to the newest of the new.

The good report for all 2nd Gen Cube proprietors is that the copier and programs extend to be advanced by firmware and programs revisions. Each of my 2nd Gen Cubes is a much better copier today than it was when it was first consigned thanks to 3D System's commitment to constantly advance the Cube.

anticipate continued supplements and improvements in the coming year.

Users have furthermore assisted to identify those things we can do to make our printing experience more reliable and precise. For example, in the approaching weeks I will upload a new Cube publish Table Leveling Tool that spectacularly assists check that your Cube's publish bed is perfectly grade and makes the job of conveying it back into grade a entire lot simpler.

Sense proprietors

My excitement about the Sense 3D Scanner continues unabated. Let me know if you discovered a Sense under the tree this year. The combination of the Sense Scanner and Cubify Sculpt is exceedingly powerful. For me, the Sense is primarily going to be about saving recollections in a entire new way by conceiving various kinds of 3D portraits and sculptures.

As I compose this, two Cubes are printing borders for some cameo-style portraits that were conceived with the Sense and Sculpt. They will be part of a unique gift to associates and family.

As shortly as I have methodically tested it, I will be uploading a border that mates a Sense 3D Scanner to a MIMO 7" USB touchscreen supervise. It makes the task of scanning a LOT simpler. I'll mail a video that illustrates it.  

The Coming Year

I've worked for the fairness Department, the military and NIH. RICO cases, mystery aircraft and wellbeing schemes demand high security. But, to be dependable, I have not found any association that is able to keep a mystery about new goods as well as 3D schemes. I had NO concept the Cube, 2nd Gen Cube or Sense was coming before the public announcement. So, I have no concept what is in shop for us this approaching year.

All I know is to anticipate something good. And, that CES, in January, is a good time to pay attention.
