Description
There's always room on MMF for another 3D printed box! This was an experiment in achieving a 'real' wood effect using ColorFabb Woodfill filament.
ColorFabb filament is great stuff, but it didn't give me the 'real' wood surface finish i was looking for.
So i designed and modelled this simple little chest, spending a lot of time creating the wood grain texture onto all surfaces and faux Dovetail joints. And to complete, i just had to add some hinges and a latch.
Printed in ColourFabb Woodfill http://colorfabb.com/woodfill-fine
and
Faberdashery Robot Siver PLA http://www.faberdashery.co.uk/products-page/print-materials/robot-silver/
The file sizes are quite large - sorry about that, but the wood texture surface effect needed a high model poly-count to achieve the detail. I may see if can optimise those.
Notes:
I printed all parts of the Chest with a 0.8mm nozzle @ 0.4mm layer height I printed the hinges and latch with a 0.25 nozzle @ 0.1mm layer height The ChestLid file prints on its end, so i added a '10 walled Brim' to give it support whilst printing. All other parts printed without support or raft.
Enjoy!
