Project Update #15: Peachy Prints Suzanne & The Julia Vase

Posted by Rinnovated Design ♥ Like
Hey Backers,

We’ve got an especially exciting update for you this time... we fixed the memory issues in the mirror assembly and we got the Peachy Printer doing some more complicated prints! For a quick look at our new prints check out the video below!

Here's a comparison shot, showing monkeys printed before and after funding. You can certainly see the difference your support has made so far, Thank-you Backers!





We printed the Julia Vase a bit too fast and it did not completely cure the resin, what we got was a vase which is soft and yet springs back to its original form.
About The Julia Vase

We chose the Julia Vase because it is known to be a challenging object to print, as it is detailed and has many overhangs. If you check out the original object, you may notice that we have chosen to print the vase wider to exaggerate the overhangs. Even with these exaggerations we successfully printed the vase multiple times showing us that the Peachy Printer will be able to reliably print objects this complicated.
Extra Credit Goes Too...

Virtox for designing the Julia Vase and all his other great designs in the 3D printing field. The specific file we used is “Julia Vase #011 - Heat wave” found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:126567
Thanks for granting us permission to use this wonderful art piece Virtox! You can check out more of Virtox’s great work here:http://blog.virtox.net/
We’d also like to thank Willem Paul Van Overbruggen (SLiD3), who created Suzanne, the blender Mascot.
Keep your eyes open for the next update
