Garden Statue - Boy with Goose 3D Scan

prusaprinters

<p>We have an old statue in our back yard that has been in my wife's family for generations. It stands about 2 feet high, and has a spout coming out of the gooses' beak that you can pipe water to for a fountain. It's been painted many times and the paint is thick and peeling, but it has lots of character. I decided to try to scan it and see if I could print it out in 3D.</p> <p>I think overall it was a good result for a first time effort. For comparison, a video of the 123d Catch rendering is available here: <a href="https://youtu.be/lATga58Yqdc">https://youtu.be/lATga58Yqdc</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Printrbot</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Printrbot Plus</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>15%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>For the small 60 mm white model, I used MadeSolid PET+ at 250C, 30mm speed but the small size didn't allow a lot of detail. For the larger 150mm print I scaled it 3X and used Arctic Silver PLA from Cubicity at 190C . I used the uploaded file with supports already generated for both prints.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>123D Catch &amp; Meshmixer</strong></p> <div><p>I took 38 photographs of the statue in my back yard from every angle, with lots of overlap. I then used 123D Catch to stitch them together into a mesh. Then I imported it into Meshmixer to clean it up a bit and output an STL file of the statue by itself, and another of the statue with supports. </p> The 2 files are pretty huge, but my efforts to reduce their size resulted in too much loss of detail. </div></p></p></p> Category: Sculptures
