WIP - Bastet 3D Printed Head Part 2
🕑 Added 2018-10-12 19:01:00 +0000 UTCThe trickiest part is exporting all parts of a 3D model to be a resin head as one part! All the parts are exported separately to the 3D printer and printed over a number of days. After the parts are washed and cured then is time for the assembly with a very strong glue.
-Resin parts that were printed with my FormLabs 3D printer are ready to be used after washed in IPA solution and cured under UV.
-The head had about 12 parts. I maximized the build plate space on the printer itself to have the biggest parts possible. Printed supports were taken off and each piece was sanded down where the supports were.
-Gorilla glue was used as the adhesive to put them all together. A strong clamping of each part created the strong bond.
-I sanded down the foamed up glue along the edges after it hardened. A Chicago screw was put in the joints of the jawset. Later I drilled a hole on each end of the head to put a spring in.
So far these type of heads have proven to be durable and very strong. I can 3D print one-of-a-kind heads and all the parts that go with it.
The next steps include: Priming and airbrushing, installing the LED eyes, and fixing up the interior of the head and elastic band.
