3.4.2 Fabrication

So for my model, I decided to choose the easiest thing I had on hand to scan that I carry everywhere: My Head.

To start off, the creality scanner spat this out. This model was pretty good! Though there were a few problems I needed to fix first, namely the flat part on the head, the mangled right ear, and the not-so-flat bottom section of the model. Simple enough for MeshMixer to fix with me

After a while in MeshMixer, I repaired the ear a bit, fixed the flat spot on my head (Since the scanner was having trouble capturing it because of the darkness of my hair and the lighting in the space) and added a base for easier printing. However, I was able to take advantage of something else in the space too, the Prusa’s color change feature!

So here it is! My golden idol of my own head! Printed at .1mm layer height using our Marble and Gold PLA filament, with a grand total of 36 hours to print.

 

So why pick my own head? I can scan literally anything using the Creality and/or photogrammetry. For starters, the source of this model is ME, so there’s no copyrighting or citing, and because I figured out the creality basically by myself, I was able to get a fantastic scan of my own head along with some other things in the space. Without that tool I most likely would not be getting as good as a scan as this.
