My girl Maki finally done

Sculpted in zbrush. Joints cut in and modeled with Maya.

This was probably the 3rd print, but 1st fully successful print. This one was only 30cm tall.


This one was the first time I printed her larger. This one is 41cm tall. Printing this one made me realize that I really needed to hallow her out some more. It took a TON of resin to print her at this scale.



And since I was going back and making more modifications, I went ahead and made a few changes to some joints that had been bothering me, and I totally reworked the hands and made them swappable. Now a ball at the wrist is strung to the rest of the doll and the hands can pop onto that part.









And here the 30cm is beside the two 41cm. It's kind of amazing how big a difference 10cm can make.


Anyway, the more peachy skin tone on the girl on the right and the smaller doll is Elegoo Standard Beige. It's easier to sand, but can have discolorations if you don't make sure all of the alcohol is evaporated before doing your final cure.

The lighter one is Sunlu Nylon-Like 'Light-Beige'. It was harder to sand. It holds onto very small details, including any minor faceting your model might have had that you thought was too small to be noticeable, but apparently is noticeable after all ... None of my parts failed on the Sunlu resin. I had several failed prints in the Elegoo Standard. But I probably needed more supports. It's more brittle too. I had the elbow parts chip.

The only reason I tried the Nylon-Like resin was because I found a bottle that had been returned on Amazon, so it was half off. The Nylon-Like is generally about twice as much as standard resin, so I normally wouldn't splurge. As is, the 41cm doll took nearly the entire bottle to print (despite being hallowed out a lot more than the earlier one).
