No fancy techniques with this one but a lovely print. There are all kinds of great models available at http://myminifactory.com’s Scan the World. Many of the pictures are awful, but often the models are pretty fine.
This is a sculpture, possibly of Hindu origin, that is now part of our home decor. Printed at 0.12mm layer height on my Kossel Mini in @Fillamentum1 Vertigo Grey. 105cm high, a 13 hour print.
@Geoffrey_Forest When you have an image with, say, banding in it (perhaps because you have limited levels of grey and an area ramps smoothly from one grey tone to another for example), a great technique for effectively removing those artefacts is to add some noise (film grain in Photoshop for example) – stops the eye following the lines. I think the flecks in the filament are doing the same job.
So the layer lines are already faint because it has 0.12mm layers, but the flecks of glitter effectively get rid of what’s left. Result!
@Step_Cia So far as I know there’s nothing special about 0.1 or 0.15? I wanted it finer than 0.15, but I’m not convinced I can see the difference much beyond that, so picked 0.12. Diminishing returns of quality vs print time ‘n’ all that.
