Resin Printed individualised people
Re: Resin Printed individualised people
Trevor, just re-reading this thread and I notice that the fella in the boat is wearing a top hat. Is that an MH Asset or is it clothing item you've made yourself? I've looked before for things like that and never found any>

Re: Resin Printed individualised people
Hi. Sorry to take so long to respond. I’ve been building a kitchen!
Yes the top hat is an asset. I haven’t found it that easy to use though. The nature of the asset is such that it is very thin. I had to make it solid in mesh mixer. I have made a top hat in sketch up which worked. It does need more work to refine it but in principle it can be used as aseperate item and glued on to a figure. So in due course I think proper driver caps, bowler hats etc should be feasible. Will share when successful.

Excellent guide
I learned all the above the hard way, through experiment after experiment. Shame I did not read your guide first.

Re: Resin Printed individualised people
I have only now spotted this. It is an MH asset.

Re: Resin Printed individualised people
I have been playing with hats on figures.
Firstly a solid bowler hat created in sketchup:
Now I have created a figure for my gravity slate train in MakeHuman, exported it,imported it into Blender and posed it. Then I imported the STL file for the hat. much scaling and moving has placed the hat into the correct place on his head:
With both hat and figure selected I exported the stl file. I loaded the combined stl file into Anycubic's latest slicer. The slicer can repair stl files:
Prepared for printing:
It has just come out of the printer - picture to follow>

PS I have been having difficulty repairing these figures in Meshmixer. I am sure it can do it - but I can't make it do it! I am getting much better results using the repair function in Anycubic slicing software - and automatically.

Re: Resin Printed individualised people
I've never managed to make Meshmixer do what I want either. As a routine I tend to run stl's through RepetierHost. It's repair function is superb and it rarely makes a mistake unless there is something seriously wrong in the model. Simply open the stl in RepHost, click the repair button, waita few seconds and re-save the stl, then just slice and print as normal with Chitubox or CuraTrevor Thompson wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2023 6:21 pm

I'd never heard of it until Steve mentioned it in passing a couple of years ago.

Thanks for passing that on - I will give it a try.
