    Gun Safe Art-More 3D Printing Fun!

    Over Christmas break I picked up some African trophies for a friend to be mounted in a few months; and I had been tinkering with the ideal of scanning them and making miniature 3D models of them for gun safes, fridges, etc.

    After scanning them to .stl files , cleaning them up in meshmixer they were printed in all white filament.

    Next a little finish work to the horns and a neodynium magnet in the back and my buddy has his entire trophy safari in miniature on his gun safe!

    I'm pretty happy with the first trial and think he is going to be happy with the little guys.

    Nice. You might have a niche hobby you could sell.

        Nah just fun sharing ideas with you guys, if the technology will advance to larger machines I could see the antler reproduction market opening up. Thank y'all,

                          Very cool, if you could do whitetail I could use these as hanging pieces in my office at work!

                            I'm not sure about a whitetail the tines at that scale are pretty tiny and very delicate while printing, if it would print then after post processing they should be fine. I have a large deer that was taken this season that is pretty heavy and stubby that I want to make a scan of and see.

                              Here is my very first try on a clients pronghorn from this fall, the file is available on thingiverse for free download if you have a printer to try it.
                              This is my first submission to thingiverse, a pronghorn antelope skull. It was created using pictures imported from 123d Catch and edited with Meshmixer to trim away all the excess artifacts. The size is rather small to print on a Monoprice mini select. I hope it works for everyone. Be sure to add supports for the skull and horn.
