Making a Doll With Dremel 3D Printer
Re: Making a Doll With Dremel 3D Printer
How do you like the Dremel 3D printer? How much material did you need to make this figure?

I hope you get as much enjoyment from it as I have.
Makehuman and Blender are a great combo - looks like a nice little doll you've got going there!
I couldn't help but notice from the photo it looks like you've got some large facets in the model.
BTW, in Blender you can apply a subdivision modifier to increase the mesh density before you save the print file. This will smooth out the facets.
Just select your mesh layer, click on the little wrench icon and change the view number.
You'll need to click "Apply" to actually change the mesh before you save the print file.

These were some of the parts before they were glued on. I used a Dremel tool to smooth out the edges after the hot glue was applied. Then I put on some plastilina. I did the same process on the legs. This is the complete figure. This is before the paint was applied. This is after.

Here is some info on making a basic block mold. http://www.smooth-on.com/Silicone-Rubbe ... index.html
At the bottom left is a video "Two piece silicone mold of a knife"
In the video they are casting a hard resin, but you use the same mold material for casting silicone.
Just make sure to use a spray mold release barrier.
A block mold should be OK for the size of your doll. If it was larger you might have to create a hard shell cover "mother" mold.
