Featured Friday: Showing your 3D printed designs
Happy Friday the 13th everyone! Let’s see what we have been digging up this week. And to lift a tip of the veil: a brain IS included.
Alexander Leemans printed a part of the brain in multicolor. As he explains: «The bottom part represents an axial “slice” through the brain (on the right side of it, you can identify the eyes). The colorful part represents brain white matter fiber pathways projecting from the spinal cord to the upper cortical regions of the brain.»
I know we also ask you not to forget to put your own creations in our gallery to sell them or show them to the world. But we’re equally happy to see your designs on Instagram. Like these engagement rings in stainless steel.
The last one seems to become a regular item in our Featured Friday. Just can’t get enough of the great before and after pictures from Marbelup Models. This week is a “WMC Iron Ore Hopper Wagon in Sn3½ Scale”. As always, the detailed description give us a great insight on the model: «The WMC wagons for built for and privately owned by Western Mining Corporation (WMC) in the mid 1960’s to carry iron ore from the Koolanooka Hills mine near Morawa to Geraldton, in Western Australia. Later the wagons were modified by the addition of hungry boards (WMD) or covered roof (WME) and were used for carriage of coal, talc, mineral sands and grain.»
The first photo shows the unpainted model, printed in prime gray, with no added details, other than bogies and couplers. The second photo shows the painted model, including details to be added by the modeller including handrails and brake chains.
