Color:

This is a high resolution restraining bolt as seen in Star Wars. It's easy to print and doesn't require any support or rafting. I added 18 percent infil so the recessed top area has something to rest on while that area gets printed. Enjoy!

I've been doing 3D computer animation professionally since 1988. I've modeled pretty much everything at this point, lol. But, there was always a desire to turn an object that only lived in the computer into something real that you could touch and hold. In the mid 90's I discovered 3D printers at a trade show in Las Vegas. Unfortunately they were around $50,000 and I knew I would never be able to afford one. Many moons went by and I started to look into them again. I saw some videos of 3D printers that were made from a kit. The quality on these home machines wasn't that great yet but it looked promising. About a year or so after that I started to poke around on the internet and was amazed how far they'd come in such a short time. The quality was pretty much getting to the level of what I had seen on those expensive machines in the mid 90's. I purchased a 3D printer kit and built a couple of years ago. I'm having a ton of fun with it. A lot of what I make with it is for my young son. He keeps me busy. I've decided to start sharing some of my designs on this site.
