About Project

There are enough simple and neat humidifiers for minimalists, and the client intends to put a micro landscape inside. The bottom is designed as a river valley, and the bird-shaped vent is in the middle.

Solution

  • Step 1: The model is built by the client and split into a dozen of parts. All the parts need to be examined thoroughly before printing, such as the gaps for assembling.
  • Step 2: Add supporting structures and arrange the placement in the software. 3D print the parts with SLA Generic Resin. Considering the scale and the desired coating effect, we set the layer thickness to 0.05mm.
  • Step 3: Cut off the supports and rinse with IPA. Polish to remove marks. After air drying, try to assemble all the parts and adjust the allowance with sandpaper so the model could be seamless.
  • Step 4: Rinse the clear parts and spray with acrylic oil. Color other parts with glossy paints as required. Assemble all the parts together and fix them with superglue.
