Miniature Self-Modeling with 3D Printing
Sculpted in Blender, printed on an Ender3, hand-finished with resin and acrylic. Made miniature figurines of myself and friends.
Sculpted a miniature figurine of myself in Blender using reference photos, split it into printable components, and optimized support strategy in the slicer to minimize overhang artifacts.
Printed on a Creality Ender3, testing across PLA, PETG, and silk PLA to find the right balance of speed and surface detail. Post-processing involved sanding support scars and layer seams, then multiple coats of resin and acrylic paint for a polished finish.
Made a few more for friends with customized poses and accessories. Also designed a modular stand system in Fusion360 with interchangeable baseplates and name tags.
