The Vampire Test

thingiverse

I began my 3D printing journey by starting with the standard prints of Benchy and Yoda. However, these prints are overly familiar and lack excitement. To create something more captivating, I used Sculptris to design a unique vampire model that allows users to test their printer and calibrate it. Additionally, who wouldn't want a spooky vampire gargoyle in their home? This vampire model can be easily scaled up with minimal support requirements. You may be able to print it without supports, but I haven't attempted this myself. The design is intended to highlight printing issues and problems. Note that the model is a solid piece, so don't print it too large unless you're willing to take on the challenge. Test Results: Printer: ANET A6 Filament: PLA+ Resolution: 0.2000 Software: Simplify3D Ewok for scale Print Settings: Printer: ANET A6 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2000 Infill: 20% Post-Printing Steps: Step 1: Print the model successfully. Step 2: Retrieve the vampire from the hotbed. Step 3: Remove any rafts and supports. Step 4: Examine the Vampire closely. Step 5: Succumb to the Vampire's charm. Step 6: Transform into a Vampire. Design Process: This model was fully designed and modeled using Sculptris.
