How would you rocommend making them sold so when I put them into Simplify3d I could load them separate and all the program to combine them into one object. I tried a model that was solid shapes instead of surfaces and had the same problem for some reason.
So the process involved making solid shapes from the shells that you made wasn’t as straight-forward as I would have liked. Mostly it involved locating the non-manifold edges and extruding them to a solid shape, then capping the hole by filling it in with an N-Gon. When I tried to make one model then boolean difference the other out of it, well it didn’t go well. Boolean doesn’t tend to like it when object have exactly intersecting points. So I basically ended up repeating the same action twice for the positive and negative spaces, and hoping that they were close enough. I haven’t test printed it, but I assume it’ll be fine.
Hey, don’t go uploading that model. I’m going to do it. Just need to talk to the 3DHubs people first.
Okay, I’ll test it tonight. I won’t upload it anywhere. Are you trying to get permission to upload it? I can probably get a answer a lot faster, what do you need?
Well, I wanted to know if there’s an official version of it somewhere that I can reference and if there isn’t already a dual color version. There is, by the way: Marvin Dual Color by jasay - Thingiverse 3
Basically I wanted to check with them, see if they wanted it uploaded, and where.
I like your model better so far, the one on Thingiverse has a few things different. I don’t think they have one because I already asked which is why I have the model I posted. Gabriela should have your answer in the morning, opposite sides of he world problems.
When my print is done I want to post it on Instagram and Twitter, do you have a tag?
