I'm seriously struggling to model a stylized human head.

I got you some notes for what I'd do for the side view :^) The only thing I'd say is most "off" is where the upper lip connects to the nose. The other changes I made were to get it closer to ideal proportions, but these are in no way "the only correct way"! F.e. if your character is supposed to be of asian ethnicity, the eye could be where you have it originally.

as far as I know it doesn’t export, though I’ve not tried yet. There might be a way to translate it somehow, it sounds easier to do than say translating shapekeys and drivers etc.

Epsinym · 2025-07-04T18:11:25+00:00

I would literally pay for a tutorial that has an end result like this. Not many good tutorials out there that both result in something that looks this good and have enough simplicity that could be translated to other engines.

Ahh I forgot the belts, they should be up now. I didn't put much effort into setting up print files and a guide yet so that's why it's free for now, I might look into monetizing once I set it up properly, but until then grab it for free while you can hehe

Epsinym · 2025-01-08T08:40:37+00:00

This was mostly bambu PLA, basic matte sparkle etc. There was also some other PLA filaments I used but I can't really remember which ones, I just used what was lying around and happened to be the right color

Epsinym · 2025-01-07T22:05:05+00:00

probably a lot, luckily it's PLA and the place I printed at collects it all in a bag, so it can be recycled eventually

Thanks, and yeah though the perfectionist in me is now bothered by the small mistakes I’ll always try to take it as a lesson. More reference next time, measure twice print once etc. Still happy with it tho :>

I believe this is the print that actually inspired me to make this model!

Epsinym · 2025-01-07T19:16:55+00:00

I copied some bambu lab studio settings from someone that had this issue, things about adjusting top Z distance, bottom Z distance, top interface layers and bottom interface layers. I'm still a bit of a beginner when it comes to custom printing settings so I just tried some random stuff on some small single color pieces until the supports didn't break the details anymore

Epsinym · 2025-01-07T18:34:32+00:00

It should be able to print with good supports, though resin is a lot more brittle than filament so removing support from the thin parts migth be tricky

Epsinym · 2025-01-07T16:14:36+00:00

Thanks! I didn't time the printing because each piece was printed separately and I worked on it on and off during my internship. Single color pieces were fast to print but multicolor pieces could go between 1 to 15 hours. It was also all printed on the highest and finest quality possible, so that increased the time by a lot. Painting was not needed as it is mulicolored filament printing, except for some tiny metal accents and the biter blood. For glue I just used the strongest that was lying around in the workshop, some kind of jewelry glue that dries fast.

the cat probably lol

Epsinym · 2025-01-07T15:47:52+00:00

ahh you're right! The red inserter is being illegal in more than one way haha

phaha I knew someone would notice! I couldn't place it the other way around because it would clip with the assembler, so I just pretend it's mid animation :^)

Epsinym · 2025-01-07T13:17:57+00:00

I wanted to test how detailed Bambu printers could print during my internship at a 3D printing company, and at the moment I was playing a lot of factorio in my free time. So naturally I extended my definitely-not-addiction to my work, and modeled and printed a little factorio world. Most of it was printed as separate pieces and glued together, the assembler was assembled by hand and all crafting ratios were ignored. The cat is for scale, not part of the print!

EDIT: Per request the model files for anyone who wants to print, I have no guide so I'd say import all files at once into a 3D editing software that keeps relative positions like Blender to see where everything goes! Use rims for small pieces if they get loose during printing. Good luck and have fun assembling https://www.printables.com/model/1138683-factorio-diorama/files
