I took a rough Miku scan from MMD and fixed it in Mshmixer, i also made it 3d print ready.
This print is ready to go and does not need any more fixing to be printed
IMPORTANT: this MUST be printed with a RAFT or it will collapse!
This print already has all the support material ready to go, DO NOT add SUPPORT MATERIAL.
the support material that i already added to the file has tapered ends and easily breaks off, however be very careful removing, especially around the head. no cutting or gluing necessary.
also i printed this out very rough and fast to see if it would work, i also used a black sharpie to color in any white marks from removing the support material because i roughly broke it off. the marker looks much better and subtle in person.
i included my Cura print settings if you were curious, however you should switch to like a .05 mm layer height and a slower print speed to make it look better. if i get around to it, ill print it again at slower speed and post more pictures.
i did a bunch of smoothing in Meshmixer, so the stl file is quite big even after being 'reduced' so be patient!
i only had black PLA on hand, im sure a white plastic will make the details show up better, especially in pictures.
Printer Brand:
Wanhao
Printer:
Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus
Rafts:
Yes
Supports:
No
Resolution:
.2mm because i did it fast
Infill:
30% this is critical that you make it at least 30 percent
Notes:
I printed this on a monoprice maker select plus (a rebrand of the wanhao, identical printer)
if you want to speed up print time, keep the outer layer slow, so it looks good, but increase the fill print speed.
IMPORTANT: you MUST have AT LEAST a .8mm shell thickness or the supports will fuse with the model!
i used a black marker to make any white parts black, it looks way better in person than on camera.
this is a scan of an MMD model that i edited and made print ready with pmx editor and meshmixer. i also did a lot of smoothing, the scan had sharp polynomials and edges.
