The 10 year old has a project to come up with a 3D representation of a specific vocabulary word: sylph. Scouring various model sites, and this resampled version of a statue scan from the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository seemed like a good fit. We’re using a modified, and much simplified, version of Lucy that’s been pre-processed…

Mini Great Buddha at Kamakura
I loved printing the Great Buddha at Kamakura, and we found ourselves in need of a quick, but meaningful, birthday present. A scaled down version of Buddha to the rescue: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices)
The Great Buddha at Kamakura
I had just acquired some Red Copper Tianse PLA, had recently begun seriously perusing the Scan the World collection on MyMiniFactory, and the house felt like it needed a decent Buddha statue – lucky for me I found a scan of the Great Buddha at Kamakura, Japan. This Buddha is shaped such that minimal supports were required during…
Finishing Chocobos
With some long prints running, and the house low energy (as everyone is sick, but so be it), I had a chance to finish up a few Chocobos. The three Chocobos at various stages of painting: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices) And two finished Chocobos: View this post on…
Bestiary – Goblins
For the adventure through the sewers we’d been using cardboard tokens for Goblins. Earlier attempts to print goblins (sliced with Slic3r) failed spectacularly, but I wanted to try again slicing with Cura to see if we couldn’t get something that worked. It was a success: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices)…
Bestiary – Bulette
Minions of a dangerous foe have a captive Bulette barely contained in a cage deep in the Undermountain. Nearly berserk with rage, the Bulette is likely as dangerous to the captors as to the adventurers. Post print this model was relative easy to clean up, with support material holding up the bulk of the body: View this post…
Bestiary – Manticore
A Manticore joins the bestiary of interesting (and quite dangerous) creatures queued up for the adventurers. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices) The manticore is modeled as five separate pieces. Cleaning up printed sections took a fair amount of effort, as did filing down the wing joints to properly attach…
Final Fantasy XV – Chocobo
At full scale and fine resolution, this would take a little over 4 days just to print the body of the chocobo. I want more along the lines of action figure / 38mm scale, so I initially printed at 25% of original model scale. At that scale it’s a bit to small – clean up is difficult,…
