Just wanted to share a print of mine with you guys. This was printed on a Replicator 2x using ABS.
This sculpture was printed in multiple parts - 2 prints for the head, and 3 for each arm (total of 8 prints). The head was split down the middle vertically and then glued together. The arms were split horizontally into a hand, an arm, and a small piece at the bottom. The finished product of the bottom piece before gluing it to the arms resembled a hockey puck. I did this because I wanted to add weight to the bottom of the print so that it could lean further. I modeled it as a empty hockey puck, then split it vertically so I would have access to the center after it printed out. Once printed, I stuffed the inside full of glue and nails then glued the two pieces together. Then I glued the all of the arm pieces together.
For the head, I modeled small depressions on both sides, basically where the fingers touched the head so that there would be good contact area for the glue and also so I would know where the hands should connect to the face.
Once everything was put together I sanded it and painted it. If you guys have any questions or want to see some progress pics, let me know!
