"Sketched" And Printed A Robloxian

I am taking a Digital Fabrication class at my high school, and we have what I always want to try to use - 3D printers (we have 5). I will leave it at this:

3D Print ![|439x500](upload://vkkyxSKIY9T1affR7TogeySH0Vn.png)
I printed it to be 2.65 inches tall. Also, I don't have to pay to get stuff 3D printed, it is paid all by the school. ;)

That’s awesome. Can you texture it and have it print with colors?

Not with the printers we have. We only have support for 2 nozzles for 2 different colors, compared to an industrial one that has support for a lot more colors and uses sandstorm or other more expensive materials.

TAKE MY MONEY AND GIMME MY CHARACTER

Seriously though - what kind of detail can the printers go up to? Are there options for different surface finishes etc.?

0.2 mm PLA Plastic filament. Nothing fancy, more of a hobbiest thing than an industrial printer costing thousands of dollars.

That is really cool! Here are my own objects I have printed with my own personal 3D printer.

Includes a blank Domino Crown, @KrixYaz ROBLOX character, a barrel, ROBLOX 2.0 package feet, and a quarter for scale. All of this was made and exported in ROBLOX studios.

When you say sketched, are you talking about Google Sketchup? or sketched as in paper?
If the former then wow I haven’t heard that term in a long time… brings back good memories of using Google Sketchup before ROBLOX. :slight_smile:

You should export your avatar as an .obj from Studio and get that printed

That would have ruined the point of my Digital Fabrication class. The class is to teach how to create STL files for printing in programs such as OnShape, then print. Not just take the easy way out by obj exporting.

I mean would they let you use the printer once after class or something?

I can print anything I want, but my character is a lot harder since it is only PLA plastic and gravity will affect the plastic’s placement.
