<div><p>Calla Lilly Flower Wedding Decoration</p>
<p>My wife LOVES calla lillies and asked me if I could 3D print her one. After searching, I couldn&apos;t find any, so I went into fusion and designed my own! These went through a lot of versions until we were both happy, so happy that we decided to make a lot of them for our wedding! Then began the long process of trying to print them... I went through a TON of trial and error on the best way to print these. All in all made around 80 for the wedding so each guest could have their own, but well over 150 total trying to get it to work. Silk PLA (or anything shiny) seemed to look the nicest, while green PLA+ was used for all the bases. We put 4- 6 in each mason jar as party favors/decorations and everyone could take them home. They were a big hit!  The whole process of designing and printing took around 6 or 7 months (mostly during quarantine due to COVID).</p></div>

                        </p><div><p>This can be TOUGH to print but they look awesome when they work! They were originally designed to be quite large but I ended up printing them all at 50% scale- this makes the print more manageable in the long run as even at 50% scale they can take +6 hours to print based on your settings. I generally got them to work at around 5.5 hours per flower, one at a time. They do fail often if your printer isn&apos;t 100% dialed in as they are quite heavy on one side and can get knocked over easily if the nozzle clips them at all. I used tree supports in cura, 10% infill, and slowed it way down. You may have less issues with a really well leveled and dialed in printer. Adaptive layer height also helped the final finish in my opinion. .16 vs .12 layer height didn&apos;t make a significantly noticeable difference and I settled on .16 to save time. I printed the &quot;stem&quot; and the &quot;flower&quot; separately. </p>
<p>Stem was pretty simple, green PLA+, I did 6 at a time. Use a few dabs of super glue (I used gorilla glue) on a cotton swab to stick them together and let them dry petal end down.</p>
<p>Sometimes the finish was iffy, so I took some very fine grit sand paper and sanded them down (especially the Z seam) and then used a little bit of mineral oil (similar to what you would do with a wooden cutting board) and rubbed it on the surface. </p></div>

Smaug Head Bowl

 With this sculpt I've tryed to combine my usual sculpting process in a product design version of it. The ispiration came from Smaug, the Hobbit's dragon. Given it's my first "product design style" apart from the Octopus, I decided to create an object with two different functionalities: a small bowl for chocolate/fruit/etc. or an hanger for your jacket. For this second idea I had the precious help of my collegue Mark Ledwold , providing and optimized screw holder that I merged with my base. The Zbrush workflow that I followed this time was similar for the other models that I made in the past months: - Reference image and plan the primary forms - fix the volume of the objects - add secondary forms: trym dynamic, move, standard, hpolish, dam standard, curve tube, form soft - keep a flat and clean base to add some contrast between the detailed part of the concept and the product idea of it - add details and fix some proportions - optimisation for printing free support This model can be printed without the supports need.
