The 5 part face mould has finally successfully completed printing! The front part of the mould alone took 65 hours... and I started doing some sanding on it with filler spray, sand paper and water to reduce the stepping effect... before I realized I had not yet taken a photo to document the completed mould print. Oh well, what can you do. Not printing another 65 hour front part just for the photo. Hope this sanding work is not messing up the mould either. Guess we'll soon see. Still have to stick the magnets and complete the sanding & surface treatment. Then it's casting time!

The clogged extruder is fixed and the printer is back in working order. Decided to print a smaller part first to test and ... it worked out well! Love the generated tree support structure on it. Looks really alien tech like!  The part itself came out clean. One part left to go... but it's by far the biggest. Will probably take 3 days to print.  2 pieces of the legendary 5 part mould have completed printing alright... then, about half way through the 3 day print for the front piece of the mould... my printer nozzle decided to clog up. When I checked on the print I found the print head floating about a centimeter above the actual print with no filament coming out... quite frustrating. This part needs to be perfect so I am going to have to restart the print from scratch.  Luckily youtube has a solution to the clogged nozzle issue as always. Have ordered a hose cutter to be able to make a perfectly straight cut on the filament feeder hose so this won't happen again too soon.... Now I have to wait a day or two before I can reattempt this print.
Ok, the modeling phase of the new face mould is finally complete as far as I can tell. Time to go through the lengthy process of printing all 5 pieces and test how they all fit together.  Ok, last attempt for now. Tried just buying a cheap wig and adjusting the size to fit Aleyshas head. Think this is the closest to a real hair style yet... but the hair itself is really cheap looking. Anyway, enough hair for now. Time to move on.  |
