RE: 3D-printing a camera-mount screw using the Bolt-Factory addon in Blender
Excellent, I like your resourcefulness! Since the first time I heard about it, I have been thinking that 3d printing would be the bet way to make your special playmobil and lego pieces, but it is still on my list of to-do things (or, better, to-buy list).
Can it be used to print ornaments for the swords you forge? Like, details on the pommel or the point where the blade meets the hilt?
It can and I do. I have a few older posts like this one where I print part of a sword pommel. It has to then be cast in bronze or silver to be durable enough for a sword pommel but yeah I do that.
It is also quite good for legos. My son has printed a few gears that he was missing, and those can be used as is and are almost as durable as real lego bricks.
Heh, I had that coming, of course you've tried it -- and posted about it too! There are so many things to try with 3d printing, I really can't wait to get my hands on one.
