Would love to see some of your prints on here! When I was younger my dad and I built a 3D printer, and I loved it. Since then I haven't had the funds/time/space to get back into it but as that was like 12 years ago, I know 3D printing has gotten much higher tech.

I'm pretty proud of this. It's for a gift.

Disney Classic #8 Cover

I didn't do the artwork work, Disney did that many years ago, it's Disney Classic #8 book cover. But what I did do is worth through Hueforge for the background, and my own custom process for Alice. Which involved a quite complicated process of redrawing Alice in vector, separating the colors, and manually selecting the colors per layer to create a good contrast.

The frame was generated off my frame/shadowbox generator you can find on Printables. https://www.printables.com/model/1120635-frameshadowbox-generator

That is very cool. The color work is fantastic.

Thanks! The background is 5 different colors blended. That's the magic of hueforge. The total color changes for that print was only 4 start to finish, so even someone without a multicolor printer could do those easily. Alice was 6 colors, but was changing multiple times per layer, so a little harder to do. My printer only supports 5 colors, so I had to manually change one out after the first layer went down (a transparent base layer).
