Finished it is 
Printed on the mechanical prototype of our still to be released printer. Layer height is 0,1mm shoulder width around 15cm - Printing time was around 15 hrs. Printed in Colorfabb Olympic Gold PLA/PHA.
This was the first print >5hrs with this printer and i’, quite happy with the results - what do you guys think?
Very nice detail. Is there a line that extends across the bridge of his nose, or is that just stringing? It looks like it goes all the way across that slice.
indeed - there’s one layer that’s not as good as the rest and that layer has exactly happened when i took a picture in between - guess who’s guilty
LOL Did you pause it or something?
Is the machine still secret? When do we find out about it?
not really secret though nothing published yet. don’t know exactly when but i think we’ll post something as soon as we got rid of some kinks. Will most likely be open sourced at the end.
It looks squashed on X but maybe that’s the wide angle lens.
(try a portrait focal length to avoid this)
this is just a smartphone picture - not a most-realistic-artistic one
rest assured that it’s not squashed on X (at least not more than the source model may be squashed)
I think it looks great. And FWIW, portrait is a page layout not a focal length.
Portraits are often made with around 100mm focal length (35mm film, divide by dSLR crop factor) to give faces a natural perspective that doesn’t make the nose look big and anything sticking out, like arms, hair or those ears look oddly long. I wish my Mendel r2 made prints this nice!
@Hannes_Lilliefeldt 35mm photo. 35mm film is super35 and way smaller then 35mm photo.
An 85mm is a common one.
As for the cellphone: zoom in and take a few steps back.
@Eric_Moy “portrait” is an orientation named after what’s common for portraits of individual people just like the focal length because both as used for that purpose.
You wouldn’t paint a head sideways.
@Marcus_Wolschon , I appreciate you reiterating what I said in more words. My point was, he can’t change his focal length on the cell phone camera, as it’s a function of the lens, but as you said, he can zoom and take some steps back to change the perspective
@Eric_Moy not all phones do digital zooms only. Things have changed.
Many use deformable lenses nowadays that do change their focal length when zooming.
looks like you guys are really discussing that to the end.
Can you elaborate on “many do use deformable lenses”, @Marcus_Wolschon ? Didn’t know that.
He is correct, some actually change the optics by distorting the lens to alter the focal length, creating different zoom levels
