IDeas/Help designing Stone/brick veneer
Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2018 11:57 pm
Working on updating the posts on my porch. I was just going tio use wood or buy stone veneer from Lowes, when I realized, why not try to print it?
A few obstacles I have run into, and could use some advice
First, I am assuming ABS would need to be used to avoid heat problems. What sort of paint/finish should I use to keep the "bricks" from breaking down to fast?
Also, I am a Solidworks user, but mostly use it for sheetmetal applications (day job) and don't really know how to begin to program a stone or brick finish; I am more of a flat surface guy as of right now.
Any ideas would be a huge help!
