Gnomie Original

thingiverse

This vintage gnome originates from 2008, its creation a testament to pioneering craftsmanship. The initial illustration vividly captures the outcome of utilizing ABS as printing material, subsequently topped off with krylon spray paint for a glossy coating, acrylic patio paints added a splash of vibrant colors, and finishing it all off with a coat of rich stain for an opulent look. Meanwhile, the third picture showcases the culmination of using Shapeways' cutting-edge SLS process to manufacture a mold. Inside this mold, pliable clay was pressed, subsequently exposed to the high heat of a kiln where it reached its bisque firing point. Once achieved, shiny glazes were meticulously applied, after which they underwent intense heat to realize their vibrant colors.
