tom_rule95@Avak1827 it's difficult to break by accident as long as you're careful. I have my ignika printed in that plastic and I haven't broken it yet
tom_rule95@nicoxgarrison Hi-def acrylate used to be an option, but shapeways stopped offering it. I've never tried the premium versatile, but smooth fine detail is quite good. I get the impression it's more brittle than the others though, so if you choose that, be extra careful when attaching/detaching from the model.
tom_rule95@EZDoesIt I don't know, I've never tried the metals myself. It almost definitely wouldn't be as detailed as the acrylate though.
tom_rule95@Captain_Pimpcard sandstone isn't as strong as plastic, and even some of the plastics struggle to hold up to being used as a Lego piece.
tom_rule95@Captain_Pimpcard it could be printed in sandstone, but you wouldn't be able to actually use it as a mask without breaking it
tom_rule95@Captain_Pimpcard it's possible, but the sandstone is nowhere near strong enough to hold up as a usable piece.
tom_rule95@ZephyrKitsuneLord, hi, all i know is that i didn't model this one to fit on mata heads. You're welcome to try!
tom_rule95@ZephyrKitsuneLord This fits on the Metru head piece. I have not personally tested this model, but I use the same template for other models that I have tested, therefore it should work fine. The original commissioner made no complaints.
Hope you enjoy :)
tom_rule95@Ryodren I tried, however for this particular mask Shapeways refuses to save the new position. There are a couple of rendered images that should show you the face at the right angle.
tom_rule95@bakun I'd say the only one I wouldn't get is the hi-def acrylate, since you'd probably have to sand it before painting. The others come with a good enough key which would hold up to a fair bit of wear and tear.
tom_rule95@bakun hi, I haven't added it because shapeways does not offer coloured plastics unpolished. Unfortunately polishing tends to remove some of the finer details without actually making it smoother. Higher price for worse product. You're better off painting it, using citadel or revell paints
tom_rule95@EZDoesIt Commissions are still open! email me at tom.rule95@sky.com to arrange one :)
tom_rule95@cyclonexluna hi, unfortunately Shapeways don't make gold or silver plastic. I recommend buying White strong & flexible or Frosted detail, and then you can use revell or citadel paints to get the colour you like.
tom_rule95@Chirthorpe Hi, the guy who comissioned this in the first place just recieved his and he says it works fine, so I've put the model back up for sale.
tom_rule95@Chirthorpe thanks ever so much. It's designed for a metru head, do you have the same problems there? I'm sorry its all so experimental, but I can't find precise dimensions for the metru skull anywhere :/
tom_rule95@Chirthorpe hi, I'm really really sorry that it doesn't fit. Lots of people have previously ordered this and no one has told me! I'll edit the design as soon as my laptop is fixed. Until then, I'll take it off the market. Once again, my deepest apologies. Could you provide some more in-depth description of how or why it doesn't fit?
tom_rule95@nathan_game_freak This was done as a commission from http://just-a-drawing-cat.tumblr.com , which he designed himself. I only made the 3D printable model.
I might do other Inika masks but I'm more biased towards doing commissions.
tom_rule95 Hi @PocketWizardJP, one of your previous clients has contacted me to ask if I can model a mask of conjuring based on this design. Are you happy for me to do this?
tom_rule95@nathan_game_freak I think his was White acrylic. Sorry, this design does need repairing. I believe when he got it it broke under a little too much pressure when trying to push it into the head piece, though I've made the axle smaller since then so that problem ought to be solved.
tom_rule95@nathan_game_freak Hi, I'm really sorry about this. Did you get charged/refunded? I'll do what i can to the 3D model but I might not be able to get it done all that soon. Someone else managed to order it previously, however it might have been in a different material.
tom_rule95@Chirthorpe thank you! The design is based off one by dan-de-zille.tumblr.com , who originally commissioned it, so it wasn't really intended to match the comic design - however,I noticed someone else made a much more accurate one.
