More 3D Prints

Rachel showed me how Illustrator can export an SVG file type to Maya that will make a shape that exact outline which is awesome. So much easier than last week with the curve tool thing.

The first test went well but it was a bit too big and thick:



I like the outline better, I think the printer will be able to handle it better.

All thickness is now 3mm wide, the base is 30mm x 30mm. The heights will vary with each character. Hilda is the tallest.



30mm wide is too long I think. I'm trying to find a good size for the pieces.

20mm is probably a bit too small.

Standard setting is better,  high doesn't seem to be any different, the edges look a bit worse.
