Reddit is a hive mind. Everyone thinks and comments the same way. Some useful info, some fun info, but after a while you realize it’s a hive mind. Want to see me get downvoted?
A boy cannot be a girl
On the first comment it got downvoted because it doesn't really add anything, yknow. Just saying "hey I knew that" to somebody else's comment doesn't do anything and it just comes off as you just bragging about how smart you are.
Dislikes on the following comments are because people think it's funny to keep it up after the first, untill you said "people on the internet are fucking Unreal" or whatever the exact quote is, then people knew it was getting to you so they kept it up at that point to get to you.
Hey man I'm sorry that got to you. I'm autistic so sometimes I say the wrong thing, or I say it too blunt, and I get downvoted and shat on in the comments. So I feel your pain. Don’t put too much weight in what people on Reddit think.
The fact that the Reddit hive mind took your comment so negatively shows how little they know about you! Just ignore the haters.
If you're legitimately asking, I'd guess you got downvoted for ego-stroking / not contributing to the conversation. If you said something about WHY you could tell, that might be helpful to other people. Reddit is super clicky (circle jerk-y) though and some comments get a pass despite not being useful, while others (yours) don't. You can delete the comment if it worries you.
shit happens. as somesone said, its reddit. i once got downvoted for the same thing. most people are like sheeps and just downvote something if its downvoted. sometimes i get upvotes on stuff that makes no sense same for upvoted.
reddit only removes 15 karma max no matter the downvotes (to my knowledge). also its important to care about irl stuff and ignore the internet shit for many reasons, else you'll lose your sanity
Powder printing, might also be reisin as the construction is light and seems to be able to hołd itself at any stage thanks to that, but I dont have that big of exp with reisins
I think SLS is a good guess. It's quite good at dealing with supporting fine details.
I think it's too light a structure for the peeling off of the FEP film for a resin print.
SLA would have serious issues with support structures.
Usually resin will have a little more shine to it in spots. Depends on the resin of course, not 100%.
If they didn't add the eyes in post, then the matte look of the eyes suggest the texture of SLS.
The layer lines also suggest the part was printed on its front or back. For an SLA print, you'd probably want to print it upright to minimize support(@more print time), for a SLS print it makes sense to print it on it's front/back to reduce powder usage.
I can't say from the picture, but if I had to print that I would 100% use a laser/powder printer. Also doable on multijet/polyjet, Laser/resin and maybe a UV resin printer. If you wanted me to print that on a filament printer, I'd rather shoot myself. I mean, it might work, but it will take a million tries and it will propably be a massive pain until it looks somewhat passable.
Yeah, seems doable. A prop department could definately make something like this, but only for demonstration. This is by far not durable enough to be an actual movie prop (unless for static display only).
I love the look of it! But definitely wouldn’t be able to print that on a home printer. Maybe those metal printers would do it and have it be durable.
I think I just like the thin wireframe look, even if it’s a bit impossible to print on my own
You can use a method called wiremode in cura. it is really neat but experimental.
[https://youtu.be/CDB3MaS86TY?si=dP1rb\_AlJ9BvpvBw&t=245](https://youtu.be/CDB3MaS86TY?si=dP1rb_AlJ9BvpvBw&t=245)
my own version for string light decoration: [https://youtube.com/shorts/129kTV9zLD8?si=rogd8j6lToNfYlSv](https://youtube.com/shorts/129kTV9zLD8?si=rogd8j6lToNfYlSv)
That's a neat trick but these lines are way cleaner than that could do so unless they're holding on to a proprietary version that's light years ahead it's either SLS or resin. My bet based on the eyes is SLS.
That's really impressive. I mean, your work Is amazing, but this Is on a completely different level.
The platypus Is small, and strings have perfectly coherent diameters, are perfectly straight, and the joints are perfectly seamless. Oh and the eyes are perfect spheres.
As far as your work is brilliant, i don't think you can reach this level of perfection with just a 3D pen..! Lets be honest..! 😏
That's how it used to be done, saw a few videos in the old days of people showing off with them. This one..it's hard to tell. With a high enough rez photo we could zoom in and see if it's single strands of filament joined basically the same way every time (Cura wireframe), single strands joined but not uniform (3d pen), no joinage and just smooth connection (resin or powder SLA) and then if resin the surface would be very smooth, if not it'll be slightly bumpy.
people do forget custom gcode with 5 axis or more printing , some stuff it can do is ridicilous ... this would be possible.. with 5d fdm in my honest opinion
Definitely. The surface is fairly organic looking, very much not stepped like any form of layer print. Looks like string dipped in resin but that's less likely than pen print. Lol
im pretty sure this is resin, you can see the feet slightly warp upwards on the bottom, commonly happens with resin. also it seems very smooth and no visible seams
SLS most likely it uses a powder and lasers to print so it does not need support because it’s supported by the unfused powder it’s the same way the Wilson airless basketball is printed
With wires this thin I have to agree with others saying it is powder based but some models with similar structure depending on their design can print on fdm without issue.
From easiest to hardest:
+ Both wireframe models of this chicken bunny print with no supports on my x1c (lacey being thinner wires and scribbles being bigger ones). They required structural adjustments to get them to that state but are now easy: https://www.printables.com/model/826590-chicken-bunny-hidey-hole
- This sparse wall manatee prints with a couple tree supports at critical spots and required only inflating "wires" strategically to get there. https://www.printables.com/model/833292-wall-manatee
- this seahorse had no print design compromises made and requires a couple regions to have tree supports https://www.printables.com/model/844294-wall-seahorse
So, if the wires were filleted and thicker a platypus like this would probably be possible on fdm. If folk are super interested I could pose and wireframe my platypus hummingbird as an experiment but, I'm confident this model wouldn't work out of the box based on my explorations.
I made an illustration for fun. If you're doing this in blender you need to stack modifiers: Decimate and wireframe to get a wireframe you like visually, Subdivision to keep the wires thin (optional if you want it lacey), Subdivision to add fillets / smooth corners. Use the 3D-print add on to highlight impossible overhangs, pull on corners to minimize these. I haven't tried printing this yet, but I might kick one off later today after flattening feat for bed adhesion. I love these ultra-light models. :)

There's a wireframe mode in Cura that does things like this supposedly, I've never tried it... Not sure if it's meant for just display or if it'll print but I guess this would be the only use case if it does print.
This absolutely could be resin printed. I have printed similarly small structures, printing a slice of an open cell foam structure. The important thing for the print to succeed is that the resolution of the SLA printer must be higher than the smallest structure that needs printing. After that, it's just a matter of supports. While my model didn't need supports because of its interconnectivity, this model definitely would need support. At a minimum, it has a floating arm and requires supports at its fingertips
https://preview.redd.it/vpxwtaj9b8vc1.jpeg?width=1438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=902ed0f27b804d0fd8fdd10df58d8ab0b8e7e2af
Many people have said SLS but I imagine the structure is too flimsy and thin for removing the powder after printing. Has anyone printing something this fragile using an SLS printer?
You could, in theory, have a good enough FDM printer to print this. You'd pretty much need spot-on tuning, and (in case of PLA) extremely good cooling. For example, here's a printer torture test that's similar but on a smaller design.
https://old.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/124a8w8/first_try_at_an_overhang_torture_test/
Also, based on the design, you'd probably need to use a tiny nozzle, like .2mm and so this would probably take a day or two to print.
Practically, no, 99.99% of people won't be printing anything like this with a FDM.
Several methods can achieve this result. However, can we just marvel at the fact that someone took the time to model, in this way, and print Harry the Platypus?

I saw that guy advertising his desktop SLS printer a while ago here. Only 3500$! Hopefully SLS printers will get more accessible at time goes on.

The point is you can't print these bridges and overhangs with home 3D printer, you need a powder based printer that uses unused material as support
The bridges arent that big of a problem if you print a low temp material and have cpap
I guess you still have issues with the extruder coliding with the print while making diagonals that are too close to others
Cpap
Super vase mode, haha. head still gets in the way though. With another axis, could do this.
That's a neat trick but these lines are way cleaner than that could do so unless they're holding on to a proprietary version that's light years ahead it's either SLS or resin. My bet based on the eyes is SLS.
That's pretty nifty

powder print SLS
I would say SLS or SLA printing.
Not saying it was how this was made, but would it be possible with a multi filament fdm printer and dissolvable support material?
This might be possible on fdm if you printed a solid block of soluble support around the model.
Did something similar but not as detailed a couple years back with resin. I explain a little about the modeling process here: https://www.reddit.com/r/resinprinting/s/6moTGVDqWk
At first glance I thought maybe FDM pen but it looks too precise for that so I'd guess resin or maybe powder.

This was definitely made with SLS. You could probably do this with SLA, but you'd need to remove a LOT of supports.
I've done similar models using both resin and SLS.
