Witcher III Wolf School Medallion

Model Overview & Print Notes

Summary EDIT: [1/13/17] I've uploaded a new version with the teeth and tongue modified to print easier and hopefully come out better when casting. The Wolf School medallion from the game The Witcher III . This model was designed to be printed in high resolution on a laser resin printer and many of the details will not show up at default scale on FDM printers. The model measures 5.05 x 4.4 x 2.65 cm (1.98 x 1.73 x 1.04 inches) Print Settings Printer Brand: Formlabs <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Formlabs Form 2</p></div></p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div></p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div></p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>25 microns</p></div></p> Post-Printing Molding <div><p>I used a high resolution print to make a silicone mold of the medallion. </p></div> <p class="detail-title"><strong>Casting</strong></p> <div><p>I then made a cast of it from plastic mixed with aluminum powder. I Coated the inside of the mold with fine aluminum powder and mixed some powder into the liquid resin before pouring. If you are interested in the process I recommend googling "cold casting".</p><p>I embedded a bent paperclip in the ring loop during the casting process to make it stronger.</p></div> <p class="detail-title"><strong>Finishing</strong></p> <div><p>I polished the part with super fine steel wool and a smooth, hard, metal object to give it a metallic appearance. </p></div>
