Ornate picture frame

cults3d

I'm collecting old baroque picture frames for several years now to display my photos inside them (and to draw the viewer's eye away from the amateurish quality of the pictures towards all the ornaments and shiny details). So I was searching the web for printable models of such frames - but had no luck. It seems like a combined passion for frames and 3D printing is a pretty niche interest. I've had plenty of problems with my laptop lately. On the page I found the model. As it's a free design available on the web, I decided that copying it wouldn't be a huge crime - so unless the designer objects I'll keep it uploaded here for everyone to enjoy. Anyway I'd like to thank Jan Sinovski for designing and publishing that frame. Here is the original file: http://archive3d.net/?a=download&id=5621787b Edit: Oh, and the caption to the picture says "flatmate of the month" ... which is me - forever. Edited edit: I sprayed the white frame from my pictures with golden paint. It looks better than expected (see new picture). Next I'm going to try that with a wooden-printed frame. Edited edit: I spent some time smoothing out the surfaces to make it bigger. After doing so, I split the frame into 8 pieces to be printed on a 20x20 build plate. The whole thing is hollow and made of a total of 1.1 kg of material (including support). I'll upload pictures as soon as the whole thing is done; I still have to glue it together, hide the gaps with acrylic filler, coat it in epoxy, sand it and paint it golden / black.
