Printing on 3D!

Our carving finally got finished at the printer! It came out pretty good for a sample. It  could have used a smoother primer coat, but we were all in a hurry to see if it even had any possibilities.
But it certainly has some applications. A way to combine the ease of printing with some depth!
On the next test we will angle all of the vertical walls around 10 degrees for better ink coverage. Once clearcoated, it will be beyond durable. On this test, we just carved the woodgrain in about 3/32" and left everything else flat. I am designing a new one that will have some carved elements that we will test again. It's just a matter of finding out how far the ink can shoot before it quits having clean edges.
