3D Printing

Yesterday I got some hexagrammic pyramids 3D printed using the universities facilities. I was struggling for a while to try to create the files for them so I used the help of my sister who made the files on the appropriate programme for me! It was much quicker than spending more time struggling with it myself. I have never used 3D printing before so I was looking forward to seeing the finished pieces and I think they work very well. once finalised I will use these to embellish my samples and maybe even make a fabric out of them! They just need a little bit of tweaking. As they are printed in an off white plastic they need to be coloured in some way or possibly covered. I also need to develop them so that they can be easily attached together or to a fabric. Maybe create the file with holes through a section of the piece a little like a bead? This would allow me to sew them to my base fabrics.
