Partial Success, Partial Massive Fail
Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2014 3:14 am
An attempt at printing Amelia Earhart's flight suit as scanned by the Smithsonian. I printed it vertically, upside down, with a seam on the back of the suit, thinking that would give me the best looking print. I put some extra support going from bed to shoulders for stability but I didn't have the gap adjusted right and the model didn't actually touch much of the support.
The result...a nice print from collar to waist, then a tip-over and a rat's nest that should have been rest of the suit. At least the top part turned out OK. I'll try again after adjusting the gap.
The source link, if anyone is interested: https://3d.si.edu/browser. I've also printed Lincoln's life mask, which turned out very nicely.
