Just new here and loving it all sofar. I knew about 3D printing but never went into it. Changing now since I discovered this site
In short, I am Menno, I am from The Netherlands. Been making 3D art for hobby for more then 12 years now. I started with Bryce and I am now into 3D fractals. What kind of art I make? Well, see here: http://meegja.deviantart.com/gallery/

But okay, also a materials question as part of you introducing me in here I did upload my first model and want to order it to see how it comes out. But I really have no clue on what kind of material is best to make a 3D print in. It's full of curly bits, see http://shpws.me/4zus. An anaglyphic version can be seen here: http://fav.me/d4lued5

Thanx in advance!
Menno

The material is really up to you and what you want from your model. if you want the most detail than FUD is your choice. If you want lower cost, lower detail than maybe one of the other Detail materials or even WSF. If you want to set it on your table as a show piece, maybe ceramic. If you want to wear it around your neck, maybe silver. It's all up to you and what you want to do with the piece.

Hello and thanx for answer.
So what you mean is that actually I can use any material? There is no difference in what material is best for a curly object like mine or an object with all straight faces?
I myself was indeed thinking of ceramic, also because of my work: making ceramic bone replacement materials for surgery and so on But that FUD (have to see what that means ) also sounds nice.
But got some more info now, thanx ]]> meegja 2012-03-20T19:14:49-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=45755&th=8655#msg_45755 Youknowwho4eva 2012-03-20T19:19:46-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=45758&th=8655#msg_45758 Ah well, no other way to find out to order and see how it turns out ]]> meegja 2012-03-20T19:32:48-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=45759&th=8655#msg_45759 Youknowwho4eva 2012-03-20T19:47:39-00:00
