How to 3d Print and Model Darth Vaders Melted Mask
How did I model and 3D print Darth Vaders melted mask from The Force Awakens? I first downloaded a low resolution model from Thingiverse by ForgetfulJones. Here is the link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:340477 Now that the model is downloaded what do I do to give it a good melting? Personally, I use Pixologics ZBrush software for 80% of my modeling. Especially for something that’s organic like the Darth Vader mask. The first thing I did was subdivide the geometry so that it could be smoothed out. Nothing looks worse on a 3d print than the square faceting that occurs from low resolution. I then use the standard, move, flatten and polish brushes to get the look I desire. I also clipped out the geometry under the neck so I could just 3d print the head. For a quick run through of what I mean please watch the video below. Once modeled I exported the model as an STL file and imported it into Cura for slicing. Once set up I printed it on my Ultimaker 2. This particular print took 32 hours but the time all depends on the prints resolution, size and infill.
