If you have ever looked at one of your creations in blender and thought "It would be awesome to print this out and place it on my shelf" well then you are in for a treat this conference as I cover the art of 3D printing appealing characters using Blender and FDM slicer software during this workshop.
I'll share my process for staging and preparing prints in Blender, some common issues with 3D models and how to fix them, exporting the project over to slicer software, adjusting several common settings in the slicer, and finally some great strategies for multi-color prints. Feel free to participate in the open Q & A at any point during the workshop as we share knowledge and grow together.
In addition, there will be a live 3D printer on site working away on my latest creation along with several miniatures and other 3D printed creations (practical objects) on display that I have personally printed over the past 2 years as I went from newb to veteran 3D printer.
I'm a CGCookie discord community leader & 3D generalist artist specializing in appealing characters, hard surface, 3D printing, and add-on development on the blender extensions platform.
By day I am a mechanical engineer / technical training instructor.
By night I am an all-out 3D hobbyist and love to spread my wings across multiple creation software, but first and foremost I love to use Blen…
