3D scanning and printing
Learnings from group assignment
3D Printing on the Prusa i3
I started by printing a stl from thingiverse. I chose the Spaceship Earth from Epcot. The dome structure contains many small triangles, which I wanted to test with the fidelity of the Prusa. The file I printed is here by EmbeddedInvented.
I was worried the geometry of the sphere would not work so I decided to print with supports.
The printing worked well and I was pleased with the final result

Scanning and printing
I got the oppurtunity to work with the Arctec leo for 3D scannnig. Cathy and I traded scans, and she was able to capture a real nice scan of my bust. I have omitted the models since I'm afraid of what people could do with them. I cleaned it up in the Leo software, cropping it and converting it to a mesh.
Then I printed the 3d model on a Stratasys J55 which is a very impressive machine. The final print is super crisp and quite creepy.
