About Project
This transparent Shiba Inu Dog statue is 3D printed together with the brain model. It looks quite similar to our FacFox mascot:)
The transparency of SLA clear resin can not fully compare to the glasswork.
Solution
- Step 1: Just like processing other 3D models with rich details, we first need to examine the models and make sure the layer thickness is enough for printing.
- Step 2: 3D print the statues with SLA Clear Resin. It seems simple but requires a lot of engineers' experience. We have printed tens of clear parts every day and tuned the 3D printer to the best condition.
- Step 3: When printing is finished, remove the supports and rinse it with IPA, then manually sand and polish it with 400-4000 grit sandpaper until the part becomes transparent.
- Step 4: Spray the parts evenly with UV oil. As the oil protection layer has a thickness, the dimension of parts may be affected, so the clear parts are used just as display models, not functional ones.
