Introductions need a selfie with your username and date.
So I decided to 3D print mine.
How did I do this?
Converting an image into a 3D model requires a few processes.
I found a Steemit logo on google images that I wanted to use.
I convert the photo to an SVG file with
The SVG can be directly edited on
After editing I download the model in an STL file.
The STL file allows me to edit the model more on SketchUp, Fusion 360, or dropped directly into my printing software.
SketchUp: Model Design
SketchUp is a free modeling software that I use for very basic designs such as this plate.
Simplify3D: Print preview.
Simplify3D allows me complete control over every aspect of my printers. The print preview shows every line and layer where material is going to be placed. If I see any issues, such as lines being too thin or too thick, then I can quickly change the printing process.
After heating up the printer, loading the material I want, and double checking my print file I can start printing.
This is a basic outline for creating something very simple. If you have questions, please ask. I'd be happy to explain more.
I have a few interesting things to share with you. Follow Me, maybe...
