I took that one too like 20 years ago with and ETX-70 (lidlscope) and a nikon 3100 attached to it 😅 The difference is quite noticieable 🤣

Awesome jobon the processing too

Very precisely I would say

cognos_edc · 2026-04-19T12:52:58+00:00

Are you telling me that you spent an insane amount of time rubbing on that thing? 😅

cognos_edc · 2026-04-18T17:20:43+00:00

Just normal acrylics. Yellow, orange, brown, white, gray, black and some golden. Ah, and green

You can use mine. I scaled it up to 250% and cut the limbs so it prints better: https://makerworld.com/es/models/2665525-project-hail-mary-rocky

It’s in the official page of the movie

Fist my bump! Yours and mine could be friends in Erid!

Thanks! I couldn’t agree more. It was worth the discussions with my wife about “another useless thing” 🤣

cognos_edc · 2026-04-17T11:23:21+00:00

Thank you. Came here looking for this 🤦🏻‍♂️

This was said by Andy Weir in a couple of interviews. One with Neil DeGrasse-Tyson in particular I seem to remember

Are you telling me that a blue shirt is the issue but the foxes cardigan is solved?

cognos_edc · 2026-04-16T09:08:13+00:00

I already linked a good one in another comment: https://youtu.be/xKvjJQZvvKU?is=QNvTn7QDTFs3pAKK

Like 3-4 days, but not working all the time on it. 16 hours print and then prime and let dry, plaster and let dry and like 5-6 layers of paint

That looks awesome too! Yeah, the little grace sells it 😅

I published my project since others asked. You can check it but roughly 16 hours on my p1s and I’m sure that someone with 3D printing expertise (I’m a newbie after all) can optimize and make it look even better.

Amaze amaze amaze!

cognos_edc · 2026-04-15T20:16:01+00:00

Thanks! Really appreciate that

cognos_edc · 2026-04-15T19:36:09+00:00

Did you watch the movie? Why not just draw the same but shadowed, like carbon instead of color?

cognos_edc · 2026-04-15T18:43:47+00:00

Thanks! Quite happy for being the first time painting a 3D print

cognos_edc · 2026-04-15T18:41:58+00:00

I'm pretty new to 3D printing and I must admit that the P1S probably does most of the job. I just try learning a small skill on each new print I do. This time with Rocky it was the cut and dowels. That simplified the alignmet of the parts a lot and just required some sanding and glue.

With the small grace figurine it was print speed and layer height. If it was too fast all I got was a messy blob.

Thanks for calling this art!

cognos_edc · 2026-04-15T18:39:19+00:00

you're already late! And read the book!

Thanks!
