@IvenBach last time I did any modeling was in 2011 maybe, and it was a 3D model for a game I was working on, but all I was doing was editing a file that had already been created... I am not artistic... LOL
I will have to find some software and see if I can create something. looks like there are a few people here that have printing experience, and I can always reach out to my old boss or a couple of people I have seen streaming their 3D prints
@Malachi You could probably take a mould half as high as the target height and use a duplicate of it, since the top and bottom of the logo are the same.
In other news, the Astronomy election got cancelled due to lack of volunteers.
Slightly better versions.
If anyone is interested in the files of this or a more refined version, let me know.
I am looking for someone to make the 3D Model because I don't have a Printer and/or the knowledge to create one at this time. I should have been clear about that. I don't mind kicking in some money for it because I would be able to reuse this piece.
if anyone knows of a place where I can get a graphite mold made, that would cool too. I haven't looked into custom GRaphite molds yet
if I had a place to set up a 3D printer where the Cats and Dogs and kids would leave it alone, I might think about getting one. I need to clean up my Garage.... the wife still has some projects out there too....
when I bought this house, I knew the Garage wasn't going to be big enough. now that I have Blacksmithing stuff in there I don't quite have enough room for all the vehicles, my bike Motorcycle just won't fit
I think I might ask my old QA Director what software he uses, maybe see if I can get him to print them... shorter time getting the print to me too if he prints it for me.
You probably want curved edges, not those sharp corners though. Something to think about. I have no experience with metal casting whatsoever, but for 3D printing it seems to matter at least a bit.
I like the blacksmithing stuff too, but the Coal setup takes a lot of time because I have to set it all up and get the coal up to heat and then keep the fire tended to
rounded or square doesn't matter when I cast them, because I am going to sand and shine the thing anyway
@Mast one of the guys that I watch (one that dumpster dives for stuff to melt), removed a bunch of windows or something and got chewed out by his wife for melting them down.
will you send me the files you created, if it isn't too much trouble? maybe we can create a Github for the files so that we can share 3D files
or use the CR Community one that is already up? it's been a while since I was in there
