More about Cyradex models, printing, and the build process.
For Resin printing, I use the Elegoo Saturn 3 12K and Elegoo Mars 4 9K printers. I typically use Elegoo Standard and Water-Washable resin for development. For Filament or FDM, I use the Bambu Lab P2S printers and Bambu Lab PLA.
A combination of Autodesk Maya, Blender, and Zbrush are used to create the 3D models. For the displacement mapping detail, this is sometimes painted in Adobe Photoshop or The Foundry's Mari.
I use a combination of Alclad 2 Lacquer and ProScale modeling paints airbrushed through an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS. I have also used the Ultimate Polish System on the Orion resin capsules. However, standard brushes and acrylic paints can also be used!
Depends how strong the bonds need to be and the material used. I've found that for Resin, 5 minute epoxy is better for larger parts, but for PLA and filament, medium-thick CA (super) glue seems to work better- just with a very short working time, so be careful.
Models are designed with recessed cavities to accept a wide range of magnet sizes. There's a balance to the fit and amount of pull, so it's best to pre-test that strength before comitting to a magnet size. Recommended magnet sizes will be included in build guides.
Yes! The plan is to eventually have pre-printed kits for people to print that require assembly and painting.
This depends on the tier you select on Patreon (personal use or commercial). Only physical prints you print yourself are allowed to be sold. The STL and 3MF files cannot be re-sold.
I live in Bridgeport, West Virginia. These are all designed and made in the USA.
