Post processing huge 3D prints: Metal & Bone + 3D Gloop

Previously I 3D printed an enormous T Rex skull and custom life sized helmet by Markom3D. I was still coming to terms with the CR-10 Max so the quality was a bit average. In this video, I use a variety of techniques to transform these items into something I am proud of. The helmet now has a hammer tone metal appearance, the the T Rex skull has been weathered to appear like old, excavated bone.

This was really challenging for me, I'm super impatient with sanding and generally avoid these projects. With that in mind I'm thrilled with how they turned out.

A word on 3D Gloop: Although I didn’t get the results I wanted, I honestly think this was an anomaly. 3D Gloop has a good reputation and based on my dealings, I can see why. They were professional, polite and detailed with their assistance. They were not afraid of constructive criticism and the chance to improve their products. I look forward to trying the ‘3D Gloop V2’ with better brush and the spray on ‘Glooped’ in the future.
