Tai Chi Men

This began as a drill with importing graphics, which would then be converted into a 3D extrusion. However, once you've made one martial art figure, you have to create four of them. I started by making a fridge magnet, but the specific nature of my 4mm x 2mm magnets limited me, so I decided to create stand-up figures instead. You can always attach a magnet to the back if desired. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Migbot Prusa i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .1 Infill: 100 Post-Printing The outcome depends on your printer settings. I created figures that were 2mm in height and a stand gap of 1.9mm, which worked well for my printer. Adjusting the tab inserts might be necessary to get them to fit properly into the stands. How I Designed This I found pictures of Yang Chen Fu (Tai Chi Chuan Master) and imported them into OnShape. Then you can use splines to outline the part you want to create, making an extrusion from there.
