1st Half of Kirby shell
I've completed 3D printing the first four shells for the lower half of my Kirby animatronic. Over the past weekend, I meticulously sanded and glued each piece together. Printing the full shell in eight separate sections has allowed me better access to areas that would be challenging to reach if it were printed as a single piece. As I write this, the final four pieces are currently printing. If all goes well, I anticipate assembling the entire shell within the next week and a half, though I remain cautiously optimistic.
Many may not realize the challenges I face with issues like warping, measurement discrepancies, and occasional machine malfunctions—problems that are sometimes unavoidable. However, the key is perseverance and striving to achieve the most accurate design possible.
