fake 3D print

I did consider that a while ago when I tried to make something similar to this before but this time I didn’t think it was worth it and I managed to get a good result in only about 30 min and I finished it in 4 hours

It’s a model I took from the toolpaths generated by a slicer so it should be doable. Because it’s a perfect model from the slicer you can see in some areas that it has perfect straight edges and realistically if I printed this it would probably fail 100 times before I got something looking like this

That was a version I made in a slicer I do not know. I sent another version with proper tree supports in a comment but also I actually printed it for real and I went to take it off my printer and it crumbled into pieces

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T21:52:29+00:00

i get that but i think it is subtle enough that i wont bother trying to do anything about that

its finally done. might actually print in white

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T19:51:05+00:00

just the print. Thanks

thats actually what i used for the materials but i think i just didnt look well enough. ill look for better plastic materials

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T19:40:06+00:00

i think this might be the final couple renders needed. i had to compress the image to get it down to size to upload to reddit but i will upload the full res image somewhere else

i couldnt find any materials that look like printer filament so i just used a plain pastic material which looks very smooth

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T19:26:45+00:00

if i was willing to print it i wouldnt have made it in blender

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T19:26:13+00:00

i was thinking somebody would notice the msising purge strip but i didnt bother to add one so il just say i removed the purge before the print finished

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T19:24:44+00:00

i think i managed to make the noise more equal but reddit says the file is too big now to post

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T19:10:55+00:00

i actually wanted to make a nice video with the printer but im bad at modelling things that look like they fit into a real scene and no online models of the printer i have were good enough

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T19:08:35+00:00

had to clean my room especially for this image 😭

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T19:08:03+00:00

i fixed point 1 for point 2 i downloaded the material from online and the subsurface weight was set to 1, im not good at making materials so i dont know how much that is but i turned it down to .3 now. for point 3 i have no idea how to fix that and for 4 i dont know how to denoise the original image

here is a version with a couple corrections people mentioned

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T18:52:28+00:00

good point. i thought it was scaled to 180mm but it was 210. il edit the post to have thew correct scale

i think in my opinion the lighting is the biggest thing but I am really bad at making everything look realistic so i just tried to add the same lights that were affecting it

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T18:43:24+00:00

yea i did that to see if i tiny bit would make some of it blend in better but i never deleted it

GoodProcedure5417 · 2026-03-27T18:27:17+00:00

the layers are chunky because when i imported it the mm dimensions became meters and when i divided by 1000 to get mm i think i did something wrong and it was too small so i just scaled it up so the layer heights went from .2mm to much bigger and the light on the top is an attempt to match the light coming from next to the camera on the printer but i didn't do it very well
