RGB Baloons

[rylangrayston]

RGB Baloons , or shuld I have called it CMYK baloons.





This print is 5cm tall 5000 layers (100 layers per mm)
It printed in about 4 hours first try, and im so pleased that the balloons are still standing on those slender "strings"
the baloons just shells but because it printed with no holes there is liquid resin trapped inside, just like a bath buble or a gusher candy
Next I want to add tiny holes at the top of each balloon so that using a pipet I can add red green and blue die to colour each balloon a different colour.
I think this will be a great way to do multi colour and multi material prints.

Some other thinks of note:

There are bubles inside the baloons, those were not there when this first came out of the printer, the got pulled in after when the liquid trapped inside shrank, air was pulled in.

In the digital modle none of the balloons were touching each other and that is how they printed, but after being out for a week they have very slowly been bending over, into what seems like a more permanent position now, I should probably have put the print in the curing chamber upside down.
