First 3D Print


For my first 3D scan, the imagined survival outfit, I made a steampunk inspired outfit. The outfit includes items that I think would be necessary in a future with not much infrastructure. The chair itself would function as needed transportation; the goggles would provide information (inspired by the Google glasses). The object in his hand could be used as a solar panel for energy. One item that didn't get printed and that I forgot to add was the sanitation device which would also be an important thing to have in a collapsed world.

It was difficult painting the detail and choosing colors that would stand out and not blend together. I had to make some extra pieces such as the weapon (made out of a glue cap) and the propeller. Overall I like the end result and it was interesting to see it go from the Sketchup file to a block of plastic and then to a painted, detailed figure.
