It is realy difficult to print with this PLA in the first place, but if you tinker your speed and temperature carefully, in the meanwhile observing the results while doing that, it looks realy nice. The trick for it's look and feel is soft PLA from Ultimaker.
My neighbour asked If I was allowed to have this in my possesion, he wasn't even curious about the blue plastic spot at the backside and thought it belonged to the stand.
It feels almost illegal to have this in your hands, people who don't know that it is plastic, are owned, thinking it's the real stuff. A challenge I can say, but I'm happy with the result. (not yet producing cheese with a 3D printer though:-) I downloaded two specimen lately and tried to figure out how to print these with an Ultimaker, because that is what we have at the moment. I'm Boy from the Netherlands, Product reviewer and Release Specialist from profession, at the moment spending my spare time with 30 other enthousiastic people to accomplish a Fablab in Alkmaar, the Cheesecity from Holland, so our Fablab is called the Cheesefactory. Here are a few links that may be a start.įeel free to ask questions here for other users to make suggestions to solve your printing issues.įirst of all: Thank you very much for this beautifull initiative, the African Fossils collection. You will need to scale the model as per your needs.įor useful tips on 3D printing, there are many places online to turn to for help and support. The dimensions of the fossil are provided on the viewer page as x y z in millimeters as if it were contained within a cube. The STL files are provided are full size models.
If you can give us your feedback and make recommendations on this forum we would be grateful. We continue to upload additional models weekly. We have not tried to print each of these models and so there may be some problems which we shall work to fix. We have not provided the texture files but we can do this on a case by case basis so feel free to contact us with your needs. The 3D printing files are made available here as STL files that have fixed meshes for printing.
