3D Scan of Bearded Maker

thingiverse

Bearded Maker (Founder of JMoon Technologies) needed a face cast for his next cosplay. But instead of going through the trouble of putting vaseline on face, applying alginate everywhere, then using plaster of paris strips to create a mould using someone's help (though there's a lot of this stuff is kept around at JMoon MakerSpace), he simply scanned himself. To scan the bust 3 options were tried: Kinect v1, Kinect v2 with 3D Scan, and Intel R200 with itSeez3D The R200 scan came out best so exported it from itSeez3D to .OBJ and opened it in 3D Builder. After confirming that everything was okay with the mesh, exported the file to .STL for FlashPrint. Then I cut the design in FlashPrint so that only the front part of the face was left because I didn't need the back of the head or shoulders. 3D Printed with #FlashForge Creator Pro in 20% size to make sure that the final print is going to turn out alright and then started printing the actual full sized head. Time to try all the scans: 15 minutes Time to create STL file: 5 minutes Time to print model at 20% (40% infill, 0.1mm layer): 40 minutes Time to print full sized model in 4 different colors (5% infill, 0.1mm layer): 22 hours facebook: fb.com/BeardedMaker instagram: instagram.com/BeardedMaker snapchat: snapchat.com/add/bearded.maker
