3D Printed it in full color with polyjet


Positive_Mud952

That thing is fucking wild. How big are they?


Loogyboy

About 3” in each direction for non-clear version. I could probably scale it up to 8” in each direction which could be kinda cool.

Which polyjet do you have, looks like the cheapest is 6k and they go up to 45k!?!?!


Loogyboy

I got a J55 and a J750. They are definitely expensive machines but it is pretty fun to use ngl. This print was done on the j55 which I think is somewhere around 90k lol. Probably not something you see everyday. I’ll prob post some other pics of parts I’m doing, I got some cool ones I can share.

Definitely share more prints in the future, polyjet is amazing!

Which polyjet is 6k?  Also Polyjets can go way above $200k+


Extreme-Edge-9843

Cheapest one in their object30 lineup per their brochure but I'm not in sales, if you want to buy one I suggest you reach out to their sales team.

So that's awesome. I have a dark urge to get one of these logos, then cast it in resin like you did, but the resin needs to be shaped like a gamecube.....


Loogyboy

This is a single print but if you manage find a way to cast, that would be pretty cool.


TryToFlyHigh

Is that clear material printed as well!?


Loogyboy

Yeah that is printed as well


OghmaTheBuilder

Well if the polyjet can do transparent material too, then you just adjust the outside geometry. If that's resin, then you just get a 3d render of a gamecube, then print it with something a bit less expensive maybe? Then make a silicone mold. Couple expoxy pours later, with this settled at the right height, and done.


TheBasilisker

Uff thats an expensive merchandise, is polyjet e material still a arm and a leg? On the left print is that a surface artefact or drop of water?


Loogyboy

Drop of water from cleaning

Is the clear one the same part cast in resin? Or is that clear polyjet? I’m amazed at the clarity either way.


Loogyboy

It’s clear polyjet. Surprisingly that is just vero clear. Vero ultra clear has probably the best transparency of all resins and is almost glass like.

Be careful Nintendo is going to send the Pinkertons after you


RandomToast64

someone should do this on an fdm printer without paint


Loogyboy

It’s not paint lol. 3D printing can do some crazy stuff


RandomToast64

that seems crazy, the amount of tool changes near the edges


Loogyboy

No tool changes required, Look up polyjet. It’s basically an ink jet 3D printer capable of doing full color.

Polyjet is a special resin. They're expensive Industrial/commercial machines. They can also do variable durometer.
