Can we print a 3D object with no 2D or 3D printer at all ? With no third party online service ? Cheap ? And time consuming like if you build it from scratch ?
Maybe we can try at least :) Here is a solution for you ;)
We will need :
Maybe we can try at least :) Here is a solution for you ;)
We will need :
- An internet connection with a computer or tablet
- Slic3r software program
- Cardstock like cereals box about 400 microns thick
- A paper pencil
- A paper sheet
- Glue
- A lot of time :)
Step 1 : Download your 3D model
Modeling a 3D model is possible but not always really easy. Here we are going to use an online 3D object head
Step 2 : Reduce and slice your 3D model
Here you will need the software program Slic3r, to reduce and slice your 3D model.
To reduce :
- Press Add select head_with_eyes_rectificada.stl
- Then Object - Scale - Uniformly and 50 percent
- File save head_with_eyes_rectificada_50percent.stl
To slice :
- In Printer Settings - Nozzle diameter : 0.5 - Layer Height : 0.4 mm
- Then File Slice To svg
- Choose head_with_eyes_rectificada_50percent.stl
- Then head_with_eyes_rectificada_50percent.svg
Step 3 : Copy and cut each slide
- Goto svgviewer
- Drag and drop head_with_eyes_rectificada_50percent.svg
- Copy each slice by transparacy with a pencil on a paper sheet
- Then glue the paper sheet on the cardstock
- Cut each slide following the pencil lines
Step 4 : Glue each slide from up to down
- Here is the low tech 3D printer : a box of cereales ;)
- On the left corner is two slides one with six previous slides and the last one
- So then you add an other slide at the bottom
- You adjust on the corner the previous slide and the new one
- Glue the both together
- Then take the upper slide off
- And again with the next slide
- Go Go Go
Step 5 : Admire your artwork :) or not ;)
Step 6 : Add paper mache or patplume for details
This is the end my friend :) You can practice more with that better explanation than mine :) Thank you for your time :)
