With flowers

I wrote some codes for making flowers and seeds(?). It's so fun.

3D printed 'Plant'

This is the first printed 'Plant' for testing. 8cm long, it's took about 17 hours for making.

New try

Now I started a new chapter called 'Plants'.
Already I got some basic codes as 'How to extrude a face' on the 'GMP', 'How to use SKIN modifier in the codes' on the Insect generator script.

So, I think it's good time to start writing the new code.
I could see many strange plants in the book. I'm trying to make such a strange plants with script. This is a pic of first try. I think it needs 'Flowers', 'Seeds', and something strange parts.

Good result!

I tried 'Mixed resin' for making an object.
The result is very good. It's a little soft touch feeling as Red-1. But the details are expressed enough as Spot-A GP.

Mixed resin test

The B9Creator's original Red resin is very strong, but it needs long exposure time. The SpotA-yellow resin needs short exposure time, but I feel this resin is too hard, more fragile than Red one. So I tried mixing two resins by 50/50 percent. The color is deep orange. At the print test, I could cured with same configuration for yellow one. I don't know it's right way or not.

Script, script.

I added some scripts for generating a new shape of wings, 'hard wings'.

I think this 'Insects generator' script is almost end of development. I have another idea for next script already.

Exposure time

After re-making the PDMS layer on the vat, I tried a shorter exposure time test. The setting was 10.0 sec., the result was good, no problem at all. 10 second, that's enough for print each layer. And next, I tried large model that I failed last four times. Hey! It's no problem. I got a configuration for 'Yellow resin'.


[ Configuration ]
Attach (first) Layer(s) Exposure (sec) : 30.000
Number of Attach (first) Layers : 1
Initial Image Exposure (sec) : 10.000
Variable Perimeter Exposure (sec) : 10.000
