Been watching some more 3D printing videos and some explained how I could fix the issue I was having with the prints adhering to the print plate too hard, so I'll try and get things moving so I can dial in the printer and get these prints started.
Am still hit with a lot of health issues, so things are moving at a snails pace these days.
I'll keep everyone posted on that. Note: Did get sick again after I posted this above message on another forum, so things are taking a while to get started, but with the new info I'm hopeful I can get this working better now.
On a different matter. Anyone who knows me knows that I love 3D scanning. Even when it goes wrong, because you see the object slowly form in the scan viewer and it's like magic to me. To be able to recreate something just by pointing a 3D scanner at it and then having a digital object in the end that is a near perfect representation of the original - depending on the scanner - is just amazing.
So when I saw this when browsing through youtube lately I was happy to see this is finally happening. I had long gone with the idea of replicating stormtrooper armor to go with the helmets I have in this project, but seeing as this project has taken so long and is still struggling it is cool to see someone else get it done.
