Hello World! In yesterday's post, I showed you the beginning of the Rome Colosseum being printed. It started printing Thursday evening at 7:15, and was done today (Saturday) around 10:30am. So, a bit more than a day and a half.
Here it is still in progress yesterday at about 4:00p.m. It's pretty cool to see the layers as they build up....slowly. ↓

And here it is completed!↓
It is so cute, I can't handle it.
It still has to be cleaned up a bit. It has a lot of hairy bits stuck in the arches.
But overall, for our printer, I think it did a great job.
I told Jason we should just dunk it in a bucket of paint. He said, "Oh no. You have to paint inside each one of those tiny little arches." My brain hurts just thinking about it.
Up next. Can you guess? ↓
Here it is with the Colosseum for comparison. This one is even more teeny tiny!↓

Thanks for visiting!
So amazingly detailed! Is your next one going to be . . . Stonehenge?
ReplyDeleteYep. Stonehenge, but it didn't come out very well. I'll post a picture soon.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure about it, but the layout looked familiar. Eight years ago I visited Stonehenge and was able to participate in a Druid ritual among the stones themselves, so I'm familiar with how they're arranged.
ReplyDeleteOh! I would love to go there someday. Did you ever see my blog post about Virgini's own Foamhenge? https://foobella.blogspot.com/2012/07/foamhenge.html I've visited there, but. not. quite. the same. ha
