Original Ghostbusters for 3d print WIP thread

Thanks Guys.

The Form2 is very good & Im very happy with it - for some reason I have a region in the build plate that shows build lines a bit on just one side of the print, I need to get in touch with support but in the mean while I’ve been working around it.

Small update : revisions to Bill Murray’s portrait & resultant test print

Small update on Ray:

These are some great prints, not easy to do. Really inspiring. The sculpts are also totally recognizable as well.

Spot on!

Thanks guys :smiley:

Here’s another update: Proton Pack & left arm added to Ray’s build:|

looks fantastic :slight_smile: really cool project!

really good scott, really fan of your work :slight_smile: Why do you have the faceted base, is it by the impression or by compressing the file you send to the printer?

Thanks guys :slight_smile:

The base geo will need to be up-rezzed & reprinted, the faceting was an accident.

This whole print/build is a prototype so I can evaluate how well the sculpt works as a physical object as well as identifying changes I need to make to avoid problems with mold making.

Another update to Ray: all his parts in place now

great work man. thanks for sharing :slight_smile:
how do you fix the problem of the perspective view in zbrush for work in likeness? do you think 26 angle of view is correct??
thanks in advance :stuck_out_tongue:

Hi Antonio -

Thanks :slight_smile:

I am not a huge fan of the camera in ZB, but it works well enough. Generally, I set the camera to between 15-30 to evaluate a likeness. I also change matcap materials frequently because I feel like can each display/disguise different aspects of the surface. Ill also shoot the model out to Maya to evaluate with a more realistic camera. And for projects like this where Im going to be making a physical object, Ill start doing test prints early to see the real object & make changes based on that.

nice!

thanks for the information Scott really appreciated, i will try this things and save money to buy one formlab, i’m very excited about 3d print world and all possibilities :smiley: keeping up!

Some more progress: Working on refining Egon & Winston portraits. Test prints on my Form2 using FL’s new V3 resin for the first time - love this resin!

Great progress Thanks for sharing. The Form2 output quality really is amazing. Do you have much experience with PLA printers?

Keep going, can’t wait to see more.

Thanks Infinite!

Yes - Ive been 3d printing since 2013. I have 3 FDM/PLA printers: a heavily modified Replicator 2 (my first printer) as well as 2 custom larger format “from scratch” builds based on Replicator hardware with corexy motion systems. I also messed around with building a few resin printers before i bought the Form2.

The Form2 is great & worth the $$ if you have the budget. really easy to use & great results. Supplies are on the pricey side, but I’ve done so much tinkering over the years that I appreciate a printer that just works :slight_smile:

Great info, all understood. I might go down the Form2 path not sure yet, looks messy/smelly!! :slight_smile:

Still getting to grips with the Witbox2. Awesome printer but a real struggle without a heated bed, especially when printing large.

Your work is an inspiration.

beautiful outputs…
this sure is very inspiring.

This is the completed V2 of Ray Stantz. He’s heading out as a gift to someone in a couple of days, so I wanted to do a photo shoot to get some good images before he leaves.

Printing out the masters now for molds. R8 came out just in time to make some adjustments MUCH easier than they were in the past :smiley:
