Thks.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Good Jobs
Pure awesomeness!! I love your prints mate!
Heya Tuff! You can email me at my personal email: [email protected]
We’re on national holiday here from Jan 27th to Feb 7th so things are a little backlogged on the email front.
Hey guys! Where is your web page?
I’d like to learn a bit(lot) more, but your webpage is moving?
Cheers
Szabolcs
Hi Jester, you can email me directly~ We’re on holidays now for a week so replies have been a little delayed. Back in full force around Feb 7th.
I want to make some 3d prints that would exceed 9 inches one would be 11 inches another 14 and another 16 inches
also i want to make a functional 3d printed book like an ancient tome that opens and closes how would i go about doing any of this?
any help would be greatly appreciated is it possible how would i do it how much would it cost what printers would do it for me etc.
thank you
Hrm… its a good question. I’m not sure how you would go about making that seamless flexible connection between the front and back covers and the spine. Typically it would be a single piece of leather that is embossed with the relief details of the hard front and back covers? otherwise u might have to glue a piece of cardboard or something to the back of each cover so that u can glue the flexible binding inbetween this piece and the 3d printed cover like a sandwich. If you wanted to print the whole book cover as a single piece and all (including hard and flexible parts)… only an objet connex could do this right now. If you’re willing to do some craftwork yourself for glueing the covers to the manuscript and spine, then any machine could do~
Based on surface area of these parts, 9inch front cover would probably cost $250 to print roughly and the 16incher would probably cost around $700.
hth
I am not sure what you mean $250 for the nine inch model and $700 for the 16 inch is good value but would the 11 inch model and the 14 inch model cost $700 along with the 16 in one.
Also do you mean you could print all the pieces of the book and i just assemble it or would you only be able to print the cover and i have to figure out how to do the rest?
Thank You.
By the way will the new site be up anytime soon i would be looking forward to seeing your most recent prints im sure it will be amazing when its up and running.
Hey Desmoda,
I am one of the proud recipients of the Hobbit award. You did an incredible job once again! I also referred them (Limited Slip) to use you - and everyone loves their personalized Hobbit trophy.
I have another big job for your consideration. We went with another printer (ZCorp) and the clean up wasn’t sufficient for our client, so I told them we need to go with you.
Please let me know if you got my email. I am excited to get started.
Thanks,
Kyle
Oh hey kyle, yah I saw your email! Sorry been really backlogged getting already promised orders out etc. Gonna respond in a jiffy. Just trying to get some stuff shipped today.
Werewolf… those were the guesstimated cost of 3d printing a 9inch book cover and 16 inch book cover using a really really high resolution print. Unfortunately I’m not a book binder… and although it sounds really fun… I remember this reddit post from a few months ago explaining why a professional, custom book binding with leather and gold leafing costs several thousand dollars (to give you an idea why there are pros and noobs even in book binding):
Also… I dunno if it’s ZBC or what but lately ZBC doesn’t email me about new posts. Only find out about these when I check each thread manually.
if i was to order 4 prints would they all show be delivered at the same time or one by one
also if i split a large model into several pieces would you assemble it
and how much extra do you charge for painting and textureing or will you refuse to paint a model for any reason
Hello Desmoda, was trying to contact you lately via mail, but no answer, so I guess you have a lot work to do.
Hi Boris! Apologies! I’m about to get to your email. Sometimes when you find yourself with 150 non-trivial emails in your inbox… just hard to know where to start sometimes. X-D No worries, didn’t forget you mate.
Heya wolf, feel free to email [email protected]. (haha oh boy more emails!) but i feel bad clogging up ZBC with customer service stuff. If you ordered 4 prints… the orders would be run in parallel by several employees and several machines and finishing team. If you ordered 1 print and 4 castings… then might have to wait 2-3 day after u have pictures of ur finished print for the casting department to get your resin or alabaster pieces made. please feel free to email with any other questions… will see it a lot sooner.
we paint models sometimes… but really backlogged right now. we’re trying to expand paint capacity. looking for additional painters and staff in our shenzhen, china office. if anyone out there in the area and want nice cushy office with good benefits… feel free to email!
ok back to emails!
Since people keep asking. Some simple examples of common casting materials~

To help cut down on the simple email questions. We have no requirements for 3d files. Doesn’t have to be cleaned up or cut up or anything. Just send us your ZTL’s/OBJ’s and we’ll handle the rest. Feel free to take some screenshots of your piece before hand and draw some lines where u prefer it to be engineered/cut or sizing info. That’s pretty much all you have to do.
No real maximum or minimum print sizes within reason (can’t print a house or anything). Pricing is based off surface area only. Solid models are the cheapest. example: a ironman we did for a client last year thats recently released

Hi guys! Well, it’s my honor to help out with this year’s 2014 CG Student Art Awards (of which Pixo is also a sponsor of). What I’m here to announce is that CGSA is opening the design of this year’s award to everyone who is interested. Not only will you win a finished copy of your artwork… 3d printed… painted… and finished by us, but you will win your very own Ultimaker Two 3D Printer!
Not a lot of downside to this! All you have to do is submit an image here of your artwork (yes it can be a previously done piece), and you’re in the running. Probably helps if you make it trophy-like b/c that is what they’re going for.
The standup guys at CGSA also recently did an interview of us to have us describe our manufacturing process so you guys know how everything works and what you’ll be getting (there are also some sculpting tips I give for 3d printing stuff that is important if you’re working in the industry):
Anyways… free 3d print! free 3D Printer! Hope you guys win!
All the best,
Des
Great to see you are still posting to this thread and keeping it alive and kicking with all your amazing 3dprints and other models.
Very interesting to see how the UM2 will fair when it comes to competing with Objet.
Anyhow, that BIG ironman is the bomb!
hi desmoda, your website is still on the move?? my friend wondered about you printing his renders of 1/6 scale heads, is this a thing you can do? thanx…george
