I wanted to try some quick and simple 3d modeling in Cinema 4D to have a little practice. I came up with the idea of a 40k Ork Freebooterz symbol after a suggestion on a Discord server and quickly threw something together which would print easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mesh is a little messy but it did the job. After a couple of quick test prints which had some warping or areas I wanted to tweak, I ended up with something I was happy with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also did a couple at different sizes so I could try out how it felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some priming and sanding, I made a mould and set about casting a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as blank resin, I’ve cold cast a few in aluminium to get a silver effect. Apart from a couple of air bubble in one, I’m really happy with the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
