Postby lazyway » Mon May 25, 2015 1:16 am

Hello
i want to know if there is some tutorial about using Make human models for 3d pritting because i realy like 3d pritting stuff and want to try to do 1 for myself.I already try using some models from make human but when i send to 3d pritting companys(shapeways,i.materialise,..etc) it always say thickness problems (thin faces) or is to big...... so i want to know if there is some tutorial that can help me with this.

Probably the fingers and such that are too thin.
Also you cannot use clothes as they are not closed, nor hair because it is too thin and not solid.

The standard basemesh should work, if you print it large enough so that tiny details such as fingers don't become too small.

If you want to use clothes, you could try experimenting with hole filling (eg in meshlab).
I believe some people have already printed MH models, if you search this forum you'll probably find something.

Just out of curiosity, the default output scale for stereolithography is decimeter. If the 3d printing company expects meter, like blender does, you get a 3d model of about 17m in height for an average human?
