Okay... what a difference a week makes!
I still have a lot to learn and some of the tools just seem like they could be just a 'tad' easier to use and manipulate, but I am learning how to remove and modify sections of an stl! That's a pretty major step for me
:)
Any of you guru's out there feeling generous and would be willing to help me with something? I'm working on the Officer K blaster from Blade Runner 2049 and my stumbling block right now is trying to get the carbon fiber look of the handle right. I've been trying the various paint techniques using the rubber shelving mat, and that works somewhat, but doing the complex curves is where I am having the trouble. Then my buddy just said... "Why not make a shell template of the handle that conforms to the grip and has the carbon fiber pattern and then spray that? You do have a 3D printer you know" Well... yes I do! Question is this feasible? I already took the handle and cut out the top, bottom, and front finger grip section and have a shell of the left and right sides of the grip and the back strap.
Here's where I need some help and mentoring... Now I need to increase the size just enough so this shell will slide over the full grip. I also need to make a carbon fiber pattern in the shell. I do not know how to do either of those things right now. I do have the files of the full grip and the shell I made.
If this can be done (and I am a believer that if we can think it we can print it!)- anyone out there want to help me on this? I'm not looking for someone to do it for me, rather teach me how to do it.
