FMP 3D print

4 of the vases are made print ready by Titus van Lierop with who I collaborate the 3D part of this project. For a vase I need an opening and a bottom so that water can stay in and flower can be put in to it. This is done in 3DS max for me by Titus. They are now sent over to my brother who has a small 3D printer and will do some test prints for me.

We have also been working on the venal record. The problem here; my original plan seems not to be working; had to think of another way to make the 3D image playable. Titus now used the 3D print negative to spare it into the vinyl material and combine it with the grooves in a spiral that was created for this purpose in Studio 3DS max.

The next problem is printing it for a test and we did some research for materials and prices. I saw someone who printed her own vinyl using a Resin printer. That would be my first choice.

Materials and prices

After seeing the prices I sent a mail to Falmouth to see if they have 3D services. We also decided a cut of the vinyl for now to ask my brother to print it so that we can test the sound.
