RE: Painting Cargo Piles made with my 3D Printer

in #tabletop6 years ago

I hunted a 3D printer for Steemhunt. The printer prints ceramic products with different, complex and beautiful designs. And I started wondering about having one. I thought it was really cute. It has now become more interesting as I see your post here.

I do not know the sizes of your products but they look so cute. Plus there are many of them! It seems like you are filling up a shop.

1 to 3 hours to finish! How big are those in general? What is the biggest that took the longest? By the way, did you define the designs that you want before printing? Or are the pre-"populated" designs that you just select from upon purchase of the printer?

Sort:  

Hi, they are around 2-3cm high. The designs are purchased through the website I mentioned at the start of my post. They are converted to a GCODE file that is fed into the printer.

Oh yes, you mentioned about the website. I guess I should have made my question clearer. Do you just pick the designs from their catalogue or can you ask them to customize for you? Can you create your own and fed into the printer?

They don't do custom designs but you can create your own or modify an existing design. They are basically just 3D .stl files which then get converted into a gcode file for the printer using slicer software.

I see, that makes sense... Thanks for the clarifications.
