Hey guys, gonna preface this with I have not been paid or asked to write about this project, I just thought it was cool and wanted to share.
I have never paid for a model to 3D print before... With the plethora of models that are free on various sites such as Myminifactory and Thingiverse, there has been no need. But I came across this Kickstarter a little while ago and thought it looked so cool I had to donate.
The Kickstarter in question is being run by Joe Larson AKA The 3D Printing Professor and he has been creating instructional material in the 3D Printing space for years.
The Kickstarter is to allow Joe to produce a bunch of low poly (polygon) dinosaurs and having seen some prints done by early recipients of the models they look amazing.
I was sold. I had to print these models... I went to the campaign page and initially pledged $10, which would have got me a base set of models including the Triceratops and T-Rex and at first I was pretty happy. After a while though, as the updates came out for the Kickstarter and I saw all the cool models Joe was designing, I decided to up my pledge to $25 to get the full set of models.
The models are all designed to be easy to print with no support and I am eagerly awaiting delivery of the STLs so I can start building my own little Jurassic Park!!
Thats all for this week people, I'll do an update on the campaign and the models when I get to start printing them. Also keep an eye out on my Instagram where I'm sure it will start to look very prehistoric before long!
