Recently my friend tasked/challenged me to make some models of local monuments since none exist online and I fell for it. So anyways I am busy making these structural models as best as I know how (I am a hobbyist designer not professional still...) so I have been busy with those. Anyways, I just saw that the models of the Ladies that I have posted are getting a lot of attention so I decided to try an experiment with separating hard to print and/or Fix parts (Hair mainly) so that I can maybe try my hand at creating more models of the "People" category. So here was the test I took a hair model for a scavenger (or hunter or rogue , whatever... its kind of like a mohawk thing.. sorry i don't know what this hairstyle is called..) that I had and decided to convert and fix the model for 3d Printing. Well it was kind of a head ache but I got it fixed and error free leaving only the print test part.Obviously to my surprise ... IT PRINTED!!!!!!! Printed Well in-fact, just needed smart support but a lot of it and proper orientation. Now I needed some model to fit the hair to but I made a mistake of not fitting the hair to any head/person model during the design phase. I had no idea of what scale to use or how to align the models ... still I took this model of an elf and sliced away most of the body to just leave the head and have enough clearance for the hair to not make the model seem like it is floating in air.So THIS is what I wound up with.... I did try to match, resize and align the models as well as I could and printed the elf bust but seems I was off in my assumptions as the hair does not properly fit.Anyways here is the model for you guys to test and play with to maybe get something good made, do share your results or makes if you decide to test this. Rest assured this model is error free and totally printable just Not properly ... 'fittable'. I will conduct more tests on this concept soon as it was kind of promising, just need to complete my friend's challenge 1st :DGood Luck :)

I used to be a long time fan of 3d printing and used to print Knick knacks occasionally but regardless did not have enough time to really sink into this hobby. However due to the Covid-19 lock down and downsizing I suddenly found myself with a lot of free time and didn't know much what to do about it. Naturally I used that time to further my hobby and printed a lot of the models that I had archived but never printed. Eventually, I decided to try and model my own designs being encouraged by the numerous DIY and training videos on youtube. My first experience modeling was just awful (I used 3D Builder as it was "there" and free) but eventually I figured out other ways and tools to improve my skill. So here I am trying to see how much I can learn, achieve and maybe inspire with my skills.
