Fish tacos thread of making!

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

yeah I want to start doing some scanning and doing more photogrammetry for creating textures.  I believe almost all of battlefront textures are made from photogrammetry.

Have you tried it before?

Have you tried it before?

Not yet, but it's on my "to do" through my masters degree.  I want to build out a big library for myself to use of materials created from photogrammetry and materials to use made in substance designer.

Should be here saturday, The 3d printer nerd said some really good things about it. So I decided to jump. That's about all the money I'm willing to spend on something i'm not sure how much i'll use it.

Good, I can go to Japan and start 3D scanning power ranger  helmets and sending them to you.

Well the kinect came in. It didnt come with the power cable. Amazon didnt stated that so ill jave to contact them about it.

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Well They took the kinect back. So I'll just go to gamestop and get it. They said they had plenty for 25 bucks. And they all come with the power adaptor.

Anyway, the end game is to build one of these but I needed a printer first.

This CNC isn't nearly as good as the one I want to buy, but it's less than half the price and it does a lot.

After spending some time on their forums I really want to build it. They screwed up and put their projects and CNC build in one sub thread so I'm having a hard time finding impressive carves. But this one guy build a hell of a machine. I'm just wondering how big you can make it before sag takes over. Right now the build plate isn't big enough for me to consider it a true cnc machine.

Link to the awesome build.

It's out for delivery! Too bad it's on a day I work a 12-hour shift so I really won't have time to mess with it but I'm still super excited about it.

I still need a sheet of glass for my friend's 3D printer.  And then I need to set everything up.  

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Just unboxed it. There was a print on the bed. I dont know their settings but it came out pretty nice. Its much stronger than i thought it would be.

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Its working!

[darkknightkryta]

Its working!

:O

Well I didn't get the models that the book said the SD card had, I had no way to know what I was printing. So I just picked on and printed it. Turns out my first print was a piece of doll house furniture. It looks like it would benefit greatly from the stiffing mod, but honestly the photo make it worst than it actually is. I didn't even notice the imperfections till I load the photo on my computer screen. For 320 bucks i'm quite impressed.
