Just to follow on, you can see there is a rather bad joint in the middle, I would rather make it a nice smooth curve, this one I made just by chopping part off and joining them together.
As a mask i would prefer it this way, especially around the nose area, a rather sharp change. A smooth top ā¦ , yes. (just thinking)
oh yeah thatās a nasty joint. Iād never do something like that! (wish I could do that well).
Yep me too, i wanted the ridge but I would prefer it more pronounced, i should have bent it more before I chopped it. I wanted it with a nose like a beak. Iāll work a new one when I get to it.
Very cool!
A bit of a work in progress, its actually me working out the logistics of something I am building. It will be a mixture of glass work, metal work and 3d printing. It will eventually be built into a stained glass panel, much more sculptural than the average door panel. This is just to get my head around the structure, the detail and the rest of the design will expand from here.
Iām just curious, what is the finished size going to be?
Just playing while waiting for a delivery.
I wonder how well it would work as a yoyo. Probably make terrible noises and rip flesh from your hands.
I imagine thereās a certain subset of the population who would enjoy that.
Could you 3D print it with enough mass to make a decent yoyo?
Definitely, you could also pause the print and fill it if you wanted.
That lighthouse is so cool! Love it.
Got a bit carried away after making a gif to explain to someone how to put together multiple solids.
I can only imagine what my wifeās hair would have looked like if she had used your rollers, Box.
I just wish I had a printer that could print dissolving support so I could print it. And Iāll say print again just because.
A few people on fb seem to find this interesting so Iāll throw it in here.
Itās a method for using solids and outershell to create a āmaskā that you can intersect with a face, this produces a complex single shape that doesnāt need a whole bunch of edges cleaned up to make it one face.
By the way, I have a FB persona āBox Saysā simply so I can respond in situations where the Box page itself canāt. Anyone who has asked to friend it shouldnāt be offended if I havenāt responded, I generally donāt see them and it doesnāt friend anyone.
Iāve been meaning to make a mask for ages, had a quick doodle today to rough out the shape, would like to eventually give it a toothy mouth that takes replaceable filters. Obviously not breathable at the moment.
