Poser > Rhino > RepG workflow test

thingiverse

Been trying to crack the code of getting Poser 11 meshes sealed up and exported into Rhino, which is my primary CAD software for work, where I build physical parts using NURBS-based systems that struggle with organic designs. Finally figured out a functional export/import method that works like a charm. This stock T-model is a great starting point, but now that I've got the flow down, I can start working on poses, props, and modifications to take it to the next level. Oh, and yes, I know this would have been easier with 3DS or Maya, but I'm not about to buy those programs just to learn a new system after years of mastering Rhino. Included .stl and .x3g files for anyone who wants to try printing this design in their printer. The raft/support settings are already engaged in the .x3g file, so you're all set to go. I know it's fragile, especially on uneven build platforms, but scaling up would definitely help with that issue. Total print time was about 55 minutes at 30mm/30mm using PLA. Note that I tried building my own supports into the file, but for some reason they didn't print as expected. Haven't figured out why yet, probably just missed a naked edge or something. Printer Settings: Printer: Flashforge Creator Pro Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Infill: 10% Notes: Temp set to 175C/75C (extruder/bed) using Hatchbox yellow PLA. Stock build plate with an included sticker, and some hairspray for good measure. Initially tried it at a lower temp but had some sticking issues. First print came out a bit hairy, so I cleaned it up. Post-Printing: Cleaned up the support sprues and hair with a pair of $6 flush cutters. Piece of cake!
